I think this one should be damn near production quality..... one day I'd love to leave my field and do powder coat full time... until then look what showed up! Been eye balling these bad boys for a few years... Attachment 546564
Very nice! Look great too! Yea, you can only eyeball the perfect fit for so long...it's like a hair trigger isn't it lol. Can't wait to them in place.

Shocks are in. Had to grind down the sleeves and swap the hardware for grade 8 9/16 bolts with lock washers. Had to drill out the axle mount holes to accept the 9/16 hardware but this definitely feel like a sturdy setup. All that is left is to mount the trac bar tabs and the rear axle will be ready to come out. Show truck Build-photo291.jpg

I didn't know you could run those shocks upside down. I know most shocks don't work right if there is a certain up or down to them and they are backwards.
My Deotsch techs and belltech street performance shocks have a up and down to them.

The fox design can be run either way, it's personal preference. I like them shaft up, it keeps the seals from leaking down the shaft but the line and resi is exposed. I don't rock crawl it so not to worried about the lines ha. Attachment 546640

Nothing really been going on with the truck lately. The new powder oven has proved to be one hell of a project. Just welded up the rack to hold the axle and all the other parts going inside. Need to iron out some electrical issues and then should be ready for a full 500 degree warm up. Show truck Build-photo803.jpg

Haha it could be possible. Does it have it's own dedicated circuit? 110 or 220?
