this took alot longer then i had hoped for but I am in the military and most of this fab work was done on weekends and evenings. I do paint work for a living in the Air Force. the only thing they dont teach you is how to airbrush and fabricate round pieces of steel. Let me know what you guys think...and if anyopne has any questions let me know.

 

^^^ looks very nice. You did a great job

 

wow, nice work....can you post pics of how your exhaust is run to those rocker mounted tips, thats been my idea for a while and just wanna see how they did it...

ok ok i know im the last guy that usually asks for help or has trouble doing things my self, i got my rear dropped with my flip kit, i did not get my springs out tried like a sob to do it using 2 diff sets of compressors and the old lower the a arm trick, just couldnt budge them new ball joints i put in....any ideas guys.....

 

looks like im gonna try the old jack under the c-arm and remove the bolts and slowly release it trick. hope to have this done this weekend....

 

I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it.

 

That's sweet and yes please in posting pics of the piping to the drivers side exit please? Just to get an idea on how you routed around the gas tank.

Well done!

 

6" and the axle will touch frame, bags are for guys that like to air up and air out, scrape frame, lay frame ride low, its a way of life. I chose not to bag this truck cause i drive it everywhere, if i buy another dd, i may do it one day. anything over a 5" drop i suggest a mild c-notch, or a huge c to go lower, for bags it depends how low you wanna lay when you park it, you wanna lay rocker, youll need to do a frame tuck, z the front and c notch the rear, lots of fabbing there leave it to a professional....

 

okay fellas been a long time coming, i dont get to post much on here cause i have my own site....heres some pics of the truck....

this was the day i got the rear done...


this was the day i got the front done...






this is after i got the upper grill in yes i replaced my Gutter grill with a black billet grill, and took a slt cover lay for the bumper and it has been cut in half and retroed for the street scene bumper...











sorry for the quality of pics, i need a new dig camera, using my phone, that had a good cam, then they replaced it cause it **** out and i got a crappy one need to go back and get it replaced again....
