Clay,
I will ultimately cut off the radiator mounts and probably shorten the chassis rails and then close them up. I am waiting until I get the front back on to determine where to make the cut. I also want to keep the rails open until I figure out how I will be mounting the front bumper. I may want to weld some captured nuts inside them before putting the ends on. Also, my battery will barely fit-I made it to fit an 8" tall battery and have no room to spare. Any lowering on my truck is done at the suspension-not between the cab and chassis. This truck will not be super low, since I will occasionally need to use it for carrying stuff.
