started this build a couple weeks ago for my new shop truck. 46" goodyear mtz's 12" lift springs up front with shackle flip and hangers, lots of tube work all custom fabbed crossmembers and shock hoops.
rear will be 10" springs with shackle flip and more tube crossmembers and rear bars. still waiting for a steering solution most likely shipping knuckle to sky for their steering arm. also needing a solution for front driveshaft. clocking transfer case? not sure yet how its gonna happen.
more pics to come

 

 

All I can say is holy mother of god I want your truck!

 

WE. NEED. MORE PICS. How do you even get in that thing? A running start and a step ladder?

 

I'm in on this one.

heck i'll subscribe to

 

this thing is sick as all hell !

 

got the rear springs back yesterday and installed. tacked in a temporary shackle hanger to get it on the ground holding itself up. today we fab a rear shackle hanger and finish the rear and clean and paint it

sorry for the poor pics it was dark and cold







want to bring the back up about 1.5" probably accomplish that with a longer shackle to also help the pinion a little.

opinions on snug top??? im kinda liking it but definitely open for opinions

 

I'd agree that it looks like the rear needs to go up a touch.

The campershell/topper will look really good on there, IMO, as long as it's painted to match the rest of the truck.

 

thanks for the input. the general consensus is that the topper will stay on. i built new rear shackle hangers to bring the rear up about 1.5" so it should sit pretty level. ordered some billet wheel spacers to get all the wheels out where they need to be and should have the shocks, track bar, ladder bars, and steering all mounted up this week.

what i recomend with the driveshaft isto get rid of the 2 peice and put a flang stule transfer case yolk like an excursion then let me build you a high antgel cv style driveline im in phoenix az woprxed at driveline superstore 4 2 yrs been building for 20 yrs 602-9970906 ron.

 

made some progress and its driving, everything feels real good, took an hour roadtrip yesterday and it went really good. drives straight, and comfortable, couldnt be happier with the whole deal!!

 

you have to go with a high angle dline

 

Wow!! Nice truck!

Not sure where your located, but here in Missouri, it illegal to drive that, with tags, etc. I think if above 32" or 36" . Called driving decapitation. State troopers here will have you towed.
