Gears, Lift, 22's and 35's

Nice work keep on it

 

[Jdeshler]

Well this took some balls..

Well can't turn back now..

Laying them beads. Didn't get a pic of the whole weld before I bolted up the crossmember..

Getting pretty under there

Mocking it up.. My boot covers are MIA

Required input for this massive undertaking

 

[01Konvict]

Damn didn't know superlift requires welding on the brackets. No going back haha! Those silver bullets help get it done. Knuckles look beefy too

Ah June cant come soon enough for me. Nothing like tearing the front end apart with the garage doors open, radio on, and some cold ones.

Can't wait to see this one done!

Yeah brother, The frame trimming and welding threw me for a loop.. Luckily I'm set up pretty good in the shop! Those knuckles are massive, dam sure don't wanna drop one on the shin

It's been a long time coming for this guy! I agree, I cant imagine any other place I'd rather be than tearing into my truck with some rock and alcohol flowing! This has actually been a fairly headache free upgrade

Something besides another traditional "double post" to look at

Double

How much more do you have to do

 

[M1Gunner]

Coming along beautifully! Not much longer now!

Did that kit come with torsion bar relocation brackets to keep them tucked up in the frame?

 

[Jdeshler]

I have to finish the spindles and CV axles up front, put the torsion drop brackets in and start on the back.. I'm about 45% finished..

Thanks brother! No It has the brackets to drop the full crossmember.. I'll snap a pic when I get home.. (They look different than the ones in the eBay screenshot I posted)

 

[Jdeshler]

I hate these sketchy dam things, always have..

Wife caught me contemplating life, the sky, Friday, another case of coors and finishing this damn diff

I'm running a 6in RCX suspension and a 3in body lift with 37 13.50's. My RCX lift has that torsion drop too. I didn't mind it at first but now I can't stand it. I need relocation brackets to tuck them back in the frame!!!

I didn't realize there was a kit that hid the keys until after I brought this one.. I would have sprang for the other one but I'll manage.. I was contemplating a 2" body lift and bigger tires later, do you have a clearer picture of your rig and what gear are you running?

Regeared to 5.13.

Going to look great! I'd skip the spacers your looking at and go with hub and wheel centric spacers.

 

[Jdeshler]

Looks killer! Ive always liked em without the flares.. The body lift was executed perfectly on that bad boy. What RPMs are you running at 70 with 5:11's!?

 

[Jdeshler]

Axles and hubs in, I have 4 new ball joints going in tomorrow whenever I get the tool (Guess I'll have a 100k tool collection one day).. That's my good luck ***** cat

Hung the torsion cmember drop brackets.. It has large self tapping bolts that I have to drop the running boards to get too..

Don't y'all love my rust free rig btw?

And winding down tonight with Porkie, he has the personality of an a-hole, just like me..

Thanks brother!

Pulled the trigger on em, they are lug centric.. Hopefully that'll hold up

I appreciate it bubba! I forgot to mention I also have 2in RC spacers. I stripped all the z71 flares plastics roof rack and nerf bars as soon as I got it. Just looks more clean imo. I want to hide the frame a bit with some new nerf bars but I can't find any I care for.

I want to say I sit about 1.8-2k runnin 70 down the highway.
