X2 on the Mudpro 14 bolt Truss.

I might recommend something different for the front. The BTF looks to mount everything pretty high, thus limiting your upward travel. Or forcing you to set your ride height up more than you might like.

I prefer building our front trusses low, like this. Nothing higher than the center section!

I you want something pretty close to BTF's this is one I built like it or if you'd like something a little different I can do that too.

Main reason I went with BTF was the protection it offered the hydro steering and I just wanted to order both trusses from the same place to save on shipping. As soon as my refund comes through, I'll post up my experience but I can tell you that just typing their name leaves a bad taste in my mouth!

Chris, I may stop by sometime to discuss since you're just a few miles away. I don't see your dodge any more at Pharr Mill Road/49...did you move shops or going in later due to the baby? It doesn't have to be similar to anybody else's design...I know most fabricators like to put their own spin on their stuff. My main concerns are bracing the axles (obviously), allowing link mounts on the d60 & protecting the steering ram. I like ol' Jeeps idea of keeping in low, my rig is too tall as it is!
 
I'll give a nod to PJ @ MandM on his trusses. I used his rear 14bolt truss on my last build and loved it. Lots of contact area to weld to the housing and simple to put together. It will take a little bit longer than just the plate style trusses, but IMO the finished product is worth it.

Keep your money local and give any of these guys in this thread so far a shot. They all do solid work.
