Are you going to notch it?

The front will probably stay where it is since I hit the front bumper at least 3 times a day. The rear I’ll cut the springs until I get it sitting level with the front. It’s going to stay static. No bags anytime soon

Hahaha, I hear that. I hit mine so much, it moved. Not sure if I bent a mounting point or what.
Oh ok cool. Wasn't sure if you were going with a custom link set or what. I'm a static guy too. Though I wouldn't mind some shockwaves, slick design and compact.

Yes I plan to notch it. I just cut the crossmember where the panhard bar mount on the rear end hit. It rides 1000x better

How are you going to go about notching it?
Are you planning on cutting into the rear floor section?

Nope I'm just cutting a 5" pipe in half and welding the half-moon shape into the frame so the rear end sits up in it. I was going to do a mini notch under the body but I really don't want to get into cutting the whole frame like that. I wanted to bag and body it over the winter but I think I'll just buy an older C30 dually to do that to and keep this truck a comfortable and practical daily driver

Be mindful of how much slack is left in your driveshaft when that low. You may need to adjust the axle back some, which, of course, would change where your notch goes.

That's probably the easiest route to go. I believe any other method you'd have to lift the body off if you wanted to use a super c or boxed frame notch.
I like the C30 idea. I'm on the hunt for either a Fox body Coupe or 2500 or 3500 12v Cummins 5/6 speed to play with.

With the adjustable links, he should be able to cycle his suspension all the way through and see where his notch will be.
That and he'll be able to center it up as well.

I didn't know he had the adjustable links.

Stock bottom end. 88mm. Every inch of pipe is custom. Stock computer right now but it still goes decent

That must be a blast. Did you do all the work? Does the exhaust exit on the passenger side only now? I bet it goes, I love it hahaha.

Lookin good

Triple posts suck haha

A buddy and myself did everything except weld the aluminum (no tig welder). We fabbed up all the pipes and had someone come weld it up

Yes the exhaust exits out the pass side now. People get all cranky after realizing we cut the rocker cover up but oh well. It's on the stock computer right now so it only makes like ~550-600. It goes like hell up top but falls on it's face if you try racing from a dig

Have it come off the line lean and then fatten up the fuel mixture when the hair dryer is making boost. If it's still a dog, you have a sizing issue, too big an turbine section, not enough converter, a restrictive air intake.

Someone should buy this thing off me

The back is starting to ride like total crap. Something bottoms out hard over dips. Not sure if it's the shock bottoming out or the rear end hitting the frame but it's starting to get frustrating. I'm ready to put the stock suspension back in the truck because I don't feel like having to buy $500 adjustable shocks
