im curious to see how those fit/look. Get those pics up!

 

sorry guys, my friggin internet was down. came across one major problem, the friggin lugnuts i was sold dont fit... gotta go get new ones today. lol. but anyways here is a few pics of them mocked up with no lugnuts

here is a shot of just the front wheel



here is the whole drivers side



it clears by a nats @$$ when i turn up front, and bumps will guarantee rub, so i am going to be lifting her, and since there is very little available for this truck i am going to get creative.

my ole lady has made me promise that since i already have an sas'd isuzu trail rig, that i would not do that to beefy. so i am going to be milking at least 4-5 inches outa my ifs. most trucks like mine you cant to that with bacause the upper control arm hit the spring cup. but i have fabtech upper control arms that are tubular rather than cast, so they will clear! i have some f250 factory springs on the way that are 19.5 inches long, so that will be plenty of spring. and that trucks spring rate is stiffer than mine so i have some to spare if i cut. i will keep you all posted on how this works. but by the weekend we should be sittin high for sure!

 

wow, yeah you cant drive it like that. need to lift.

 

lol that dont look right ! but will lok sick when its lifted some

 

3in body and tade for sum 35's

 

i got the springs coming now for a custom suspension set up, should get about 6 inches out of suspension thanks to my apparently one of a kind upper control arms. then i am def gonna stick with the 37s. they just look so sick!

 

6 inches in the front with a spring?? i biggest you can go is 3in's with a after market upper c-arm

the most i saw seen was a 3in spring and a 3.5spindle

ranhco back in the day made a kit with a sub frame 4in kit,,, no spinle lift


im not trying to be a dick, just trying to gave info

 

you are absolutely correct there dodge, but notice i do not have factory upper c-arms. mine are already fabtech, and they have clockable jhonny joints. i also already hade super high angle ball joints up top and below.

my plan is the make a cradle to drop the lower control arms 3" and then i burn off the droop stops, and clock the jhonny joints up top, and in one solid day i can squeeze 6" outa my ifs. then i will prob need new shocks, but i will worry about that then. i have to get measurements for them once the lift is done.

and obviously the rear is super easy. i could cheat and use blocks, but i will probably just do a shackle flip. i can fab that up in about 3 hours.

then barring a sas, that will be one of the baddest 2wd out there!

 

oooooo yea, i almost forgot, i ordered 2 16" efans and a control unit. i am going to build a fiberglass shroud and all. and i ordered some headlights (cuz mine suck) and i am also going to do custom grill work and a hood before to long. and my dash should be outa paint tomorrow. so i think that this thread will be my official beefy the dodge build thread.

i will do my best to take tons of pics! i am really friggin stoked!!

 

that back wheel isnt on the truck? Is that a waterbottle holding it from rolling down the drive way?
