ShortbusExcursion
hey everyone I have posted a few times and this is the latest. Be sure to follow along on facebook on ShortBusExcursion and instagram.
We went with a 24" lift on ShortBus.
Consists of 16" Carrier Springs, 6" PMF brackets and shackles, and 2" mini pack in the front.
Rear has 16" Carrier Springs for a truck, 8" PMF Blocks and Home built Shackel Flip with Homemade 3" Extended Shackles.
All Shock mounts were relocated. I was able to reuse tracbar and brake lines from the 14" lift. I had to extend and sleeve the PMF drag link on the high Steer. Trac bar was from Ruff Stuff. Brake lines from Crown. I have the PMF cross member and need to install the Clocking ring to get a measurement on the Driveshaft. It will also get 20x14 XD riots and 46" military tires. Just need them mounted this week.
This was at 14" lift
this is at 24" lift

Last weekend we got the cross-member switched around and the T-case clocked. We used the Precision Metal Fab kit to clock the t-case. Its a really nice kit and pretty simple. Took about 30 minutes to do it and 2 people.

I saw a F250 in the parking lot of the liquor store and the guy had to reach up to open the door and he had to lift his girlfriend out. When he left i noticed it had a temp plate so he had just bought it.. He took a corner out of the parking lot and it was on wheels for a second or 2 and I thought it was going over.. I can't imagine they are fun to drive in the city

Besides, B & C over on my side of town do the ridiculous builds around here.
OP, let's see some other pictures as already requested. These same ones have been all we've seen, and they're boring
Little curious why there are what appear to be marine speakers on the roof rack?

quick update
Sorry yall I don't get on here much and a lot has been going on. I added pics from my facebook so if you can't see them send a friend request on there. no pics of my work from the last 3 months yet. Soon they will be up.
After getting this thing done the rear end blew up for some reason so while down I have been painting everything. not just black but since its for shows we painted it Candy Apple red with Flake and then White accents with Glow in the dark clear. Only problem is I didn't have enough glow for the clear so I have to reshoot it all.

I have also been changing the interior from tan to black with red accents. I have the seats out getting done now. I will have pics in the future of it.
Once I get it together.

While I have been doing all this I also had to build another truck for a buddy in the driveway so a Lot of time went to it and the fabrication stuff.

Update on Under carriage and interior
So I have been busy trying to make it look a little better. Changed the interiors color and repainted the drive train. I posted pics on my Instagram
