back on the road
got pretty much all the loose ends tied up today, took it for its first test drive in about 5 months. Bump steer is eliminated, steering is tight, everything works great. Now I have to get an alignment and its a daily driver. Im very happy with the way the radius arm mods turned out, and how great the new steering is. I got away without putting in a drop pitman arm

re: back on the road
I like it! Time will see how well it holds up on the street or off-road, but right now it looks good. You should take and post a few more shots from different angles, so we can check it out closer in the daylight.
...and you know? I'm almost thinking this would be an interesting and informative tutorial. You've been doing well with documenting your progress, so we should assemble all your updates onto a page, for others who might be considering something similar. I know the question on lifting a 2WD had come up numerous times.

re: back on the road
I think the truck is pretty much exactly the same height as a highboy, because it has a 4" block in the back, just like the factory f250's. Soon im going to get rid of the block, and do a shackle flip. I want to run 35x12.50's, my buddy is going to give me his 4 old bf goodrich 35x12.50 tires, so I can check for rubbing issues, and all that other stuff.
here are some more pics

Nice job!
I like your choice of paint color! Mine is going to be silver with a red interior.
