King 4inch Bumpstop install

[Sgt Fast]

I have more things i need to weld like relocating shock mounts, so i plan on adding a strike plate to the axel at that time. I like do fabrication work that's kind of why i bought the truck to have a hobby to work on when i get the time. I like to build things instead of buying them that's why i bought the bump stops and cans instead of just buying a bolt on kit. I put them in the frame because it's where the ford engineers put the stock one and i felt that it would be where all the kit manufacturers would put them if they were not worried about the mass of people who are not willing to cut the bed or void warranties by cutting the frame. Also I like to be different good or bad I get joy from doing things myself. Just think of how exciting this thread would be if I just bolted on a kit. This will be an ongoing project for me I plan on building a four link, Fuel cell, bed rack and maybe some other unconventional things with my spare time. So I'll try to keep posting when I build other things that I think you all would like to hear about.

Can I get an Amen! Off the shelf parts work for most of the people but its awesome to see someone step out and not be afraid to create something new and different. If I were to just go online and buy all the aftermarket bracing and fabrication parts for the raptor instead of making them I would get laughed out of the shop when it came time for the install.

Here is an update! this setup has been working great for me and i have been beating the hell out of my truck with no bottoming out in the rear but the front has been getting beat to hell.
