MSA's 2013 SEMA Project: Black Rhino > Dropping The Front

The largest dilemma in any bagged setup is to make sure when the bags are deflated, the vehicle rests where the builder wants it. When researching, DJM and a few other companies created lowering kits for these trucks...BUT only in 2WD. There were no 2WD kits, and with my unfortunate luck, there were only 4WD vehicles in a 100 dealership radius.  So the challenge of actually bagging a 4WD F350 was presented to us. Good thing we aren't strangers of challenges nor are we scared of them.

The largest challenege: the transfer case. After removing the suspension, bump stops, bump stop brackets, and a few other components, we were left with the transfer case touching the cross member. That was our lowest point and we still had a few inches to go.  So we had to make a few...adjustments.  The I beams were shaved down. The top of the transfer case was shaved down. And...we cut out a hole in the cross member for the transfer case to fit perfectly inside.
