Also if you want to lower the cab protector is just unbolts to lower the height of the truck . When we did movement practices we had to get the top of the vehicle lowered down to the top of the steering wheel for shipment. the top of the steering is the lowest spot you can get the truck down to !!

I sure will, this is my first MV and i'll be starting a new build thread. I'm taking the dump and cab off and fabricating a new armored body, kind of like an MRAP. Watch for the new thread in a day or so.
