Any updates on the build?

 

yes
Got my new brackets from SD.com, awesome services :thumbsup:

Ahh much better

Front Torsion Plates

Although awesome service they did send a 2" too long panhard no biggie

I just cut the tabs down, and thread it all the way in. Worst come to worst I order a shorter one.


Both mounts tac'd on


:wtf: I need 19.25" for the shock at ride height and 22.25" full extended since 4.5" up is ride up, that leaves 3" to max out the bag, how the hell can I fit it? Im thinking the shock will be a little high and Ill body drop the bed accordingly.

Clearance for shock on drivers side

Clearance on passenger, tight fit.

Cut some plates to fill the hole from the stock round crossmembers

Modified the bed mount



FLIP :ninja:

Welded up the boxing, notch and any other upside down notches needed.

 

rear shocks . . . have you thought about mounting them at an angle like the older Dodges are? . . . longer travel

 

Kind of pissed about this, but the rearend's welds didnt come out as good as I hoped. I think my heat was a little low.

Cluster **** here, since the mounts were soooo close

Cut a plate for the underside of the front body drop

Needed to make some plates for the transmission crossmember, used a grinder on each bend since its 1/8" and I dont have a break to bend it. Made a slit




Does it fit?

Sure does, perfect!


Then spent a while welding grinding, welding again grinding again to get the boxing finished up. Its getting there.

 

i cant due to the way the mounts for the panhard are

 

looks real good, congrats on post 666 I cannot wait to see the finished coated frame

 

WOW. i started reading about a slammed 4x4, 35 minutes later, and i've learned what dedication is. good work buddy keep it up!

 

Lots of time in there, I built a kit car and there are definitely lots of little things that always come up, it'll be sick when its done though.

 

Thats some great work you got going there. i think i saw your truck a while back at the barnstable county fair grounds and it looked sick then.
