Much apreciated mane. I have the overload removed as well which probably gives you nearly another inch on a z-85. However, the pre-load on my hellwig traction springs combined with my giant (8*) pinion shims almost negated that. Needs another inch out back imo.

Truck is at the following stage:

Circle d 2800 stall installed
4l80e Trans installed
Frame chopped to 119" wheelbase
3/4 drop kit ordered
Kb log sitting on shelf
76mm Chinese turbo on shelf
60lb Siemens injectors on shelf
Universal inter cooler kit on shelf
Bed is off to get painted this weekend
Hope to have the truck driving by the next couple weeks

Still needed to be done:
Balance the drive shaft I cut down and welded

Finish drilling holes for new bed location

Mount receiver hitch and bumper

Install large fan powered Trans cooler

Jock bitches, slap hoes......

Cool

Update: mounted the bed for the last time today.
Driveshaft doesn't vibrate at 100+mph so I'm not going to get it balanced.
I just dropped it off tonight to get the bed painted.
I just ordered the 2/4 drop kit and as you can see in the pics below it needs it!
