heres some more pics from this weekend.

Passenger side

Drivers side

How the truck sits now (looking dorky with my little tires on it)

And my test fitting my front receiver and bumper lift brackets


Diddnt get to much done this weekend but is was cold out side and like i said i dont have heat in my shop so it was pretty cold and hard to find the motivation. This is also the reason i diddnt spray my frame off yet and it is still muddy in the pics, but i think it is supposed to warm up this week so ill take care of that soon enough and before i know she'll be on the road again.

 

yea my 37's fit and drove nice but the slights flex of the front suspension and they were into my fenders. If you dont like your body lift im sure you could get away with 38's if you did some fender chopping. But if i were you i would leave the BL in there until your 38's and see what you think then. But that is just my 2 cents.

 

nice.... i like that front receiver

 

I thought this was an old thread when I seen motorbrreath posted.

 

Nice looking truck. Can't wait to see the end results.

 

I thought this was an old thread when I read SpcD1500's post about it being too cold to work on the truck at night



SpcD1500, looking good! Cant wait to see the progress move along!

 

Very nice man, Truck will look BA with the lift and tires.

How what did you use to take the bed off??

 

Truck looks naked with out a bed!

Its about time you got up some more pics. I had been messing you on fb about once a week over it.

 

Looks good, but if I can offer one suggestion... you should do a shackle flip to get better articulation out of those high arch springs and it will help you get rid of more of the blocks!

 

I used a cherry picker (aka engine hoist) to lift the back end of the bed. There is a nice little hole that is in the center if you take your tailgate off that the hook fit in nicely. I then had 2 friends lift the front of the bed while i had another friend pull the truck out from under it (make sure the guys holding the bed watch there toes). Then once the truck was outta the way i sled a table on caster wheels i made for my four wheelers under it so i could roll it around the shop.

I went home tonight and wire brushed, sanded and painted my frame. I also mounted my front bumper and both front and rear recievers. So with all this I am going to go back home tomorrow and have my friends come back over to put the bed back on. Hopefully tomorrow i will remember that i put my camera in my car so that i can get some more pics.
