Well it sounds like I should get on that game of making some chromoly ones. Heim ends would get you that caster too.
I put most everything in the truck for nitrous but never mounted a bottle. My tuner told me he wanted to pull a couple degrees of timing and we just never did it.

Your truck looks sick in that sig photo.

If you wanted to sell them/ship them I'd take them off your hands. I could be wrong but they are different then the 08+ trucks right. I could use stockers to fixture off of and make some for you to try out. When you talked of weight savings was that from the stock steel to the tubular ride tech or were you using factory aluminum arms?

I have had some issues with the mounting holes in the procharger getting worn out, so I decided to time sert all the mounting holes. The holes in the face of the transmission case were no issue, but when I got to the extra 4 holes on the bottom half of the transmission case I noticed that there was not a lot of meat in the tabs at the outer most portion. Anyway, I gave it a go with it rigid mounted in my drill press. Took my time making sure that it was lined up where I wanted and went very slow with the tap and the counter bore for the insert flange. It was a little nerve racking, but I got it done. Here are a few pics, it turned out pretty nice I think.
I was going to do all 4, but really only one needed it. So I decided to only fix that one and not press my luck for now. I'm gonna stud the blower mounts, so with that and all the other holes fixed up with an insert, I should not ever have trouble again. It was a fun little project. You can see in the pics the lack of room to work with. The first two pics are after the hole was drilled with a size X (.397") drill. In the last two, you can see that the counter bore for the insert flange basically goes to the edge of the material.

I actually got started on it last night. So I may have some pics before then end of the weekend. I'm waiting to get my spindles back from the machine shop so I can mock up the front suspension to figure out how I'm gonna do an upper mount for the coil over. So I can't do that part till I get all the pieces.

I should have some pretty cool pics of the spindles tomorrow. The madman brake kit is not exactly a bolt on deal (for my truck anyway) and required some machining on the spindles. My machinist called today and told me they were done. 2" drop Belltech spindles weigh 21lbs each. Mine now weight 14lbs each.
Still havent finished all the cutting and welding on the front frame rails.

Not sure I'd want to put 4wd through one though.
