You know how in the back of the bed there is a sort of.. I'll say "Pillar" on both sides there? I'm probably going to weld some small tabs to the backside of it, and use carabiners or something with crash webbing stretched across.

Custom Doetsch Spindles, reinforced with an additional 1/2 in plate behind it. I also milled them out so I can replace the crap Chrysler axles with Dana 44's. If I ever get around to building upper and lower arms, I'm going to modify them to accept uniballs. Truck sits on 33's.

Who knows, I may cheat and use beams though.

I live in Nevada. I go to UNLV. The truck is registered to my parents who recently moved to California.

Great job on the gate!

I just have my spare strapped down in the bed. Figure if I need the bed space I'll just use my Silverado, the Ram is just for me to play with.

Thanks. I cant wait until tomorrow. I'm gonna pop a couple more tubes in, then im just stuck waiting on the carrier plate for the tire. I'm going to play with the colors a bit I think, but eventually I will get it powdercoated.
