Ya I have been thinking about it. The only thing is the engine has over 105K on it. So IDK if i want to super charge it if I am going to need to replace the engine in a few years. But we will see how the power feels with the 4.88 gears, CAI, full exhaust and, chipped. Also no pics today mechanic said she was not dry yet....

Im tuned in. that front clip is massive!!!!

patclarke

ya 94" lol

geez. and with the Brenthnal kit it'll sit 8" wider than it is now, plus the 37s (good choice, the 35s would have been too small with that glass).

what are you doing for the rear? If you do deavers/nationals be sure to get more leafs as they tend to sag over time so I hear. and if you dont live near Deaver's shop (theyll re-arch them for free) then you gotta pay to ship em off and youll have a couple weeks downtime....

what shocks are you gonna run? dual 3.0 C/O AND bypass up front???? 3.0s out back??? pplleeassee!!!

For the rear Brenthel sales a long travel deaver spring under kit that will give me 18" of travel. I will be towing the truck down to Sandiego to have Brenthel install there own kit on it.

Down times not a big deal for me because Um working in another country right now

For shocks in the front it will be King 2.5 coilovers, King 2.5 3 Tube bypass, King 2.5 hydraulic bumpstop. Not sure for the rear but I will stick with King all the way around.

Kings are expensive!!!! Hell Im whining about getting Fox's haha. Even though your going to be using it for a DD, try off roading in it. it will be like driving on clouds. I rode in one once and it was awesome, hence why Im building my truck. mid travel with approx 14" up front and 16-18 out back. it will not only handle a lot better but also flex better off road compared to a normal suspension...but then again it does cost a lot more. Lookin good so far. keep up with the updates, I wanna see it. BTW, what are you doing over seas?

patclarke

I will definitely be off roading her . I am a contractor for the military. So I just do I.T. Stuff and hang out with Marines all day. When I come home on R&R I will be flying into SoCal to pick up my truck to drive it back home to Idaho. While im in SoCal/Vegas I would love to find some places to take my truck and give the suspension a good test.

oh sweet! that sounds like fun.

For the rear will you/them be installing a frame stiffining crossmember w/ hydro bumpstops?
