Awesome build man I love the rear suspension. Once I get mine running and recoup some I plan on doing a similar setup.

I got the coils mounted in the corners of the engine area. On the drivers side I trimmed the fuse box plastic to get it to tuck up in there. I think it turned out ok. Got the hydro boost mount too.

Well a little more work done today. Ricky from Trick Turbo is a good friend of mine and lives about 10 miles from me so I was lucky enough to go by his house and get his 5" intercooler to mount in my truck. I pulled the radiator and condenser and had to notch the core support about 1.5" and the bumper and cut the a frame out. I built brackets to bolt to the hood latch bracket to the intercooler to take the place of the a frame. Once it was all fitted in, I had to grind the back of my billet grille to get the grille to fit back. It was a lot if work but it all turned out awesome and have a big bad *** intercooler.

I took the driver side manifold and ground all the heat shield bungs off and half ***'d smoothed it out to wrap it with heat wrap but that was going to be a bitch. I ended up sending it off to Jet Hot and had it coated inside and out. Turned out ok.

Its been awhile since I have shared any progress but alot has been done. I got my turbo mounted completely and fired the truck up. Sounds good but much tuning is needed. Ricky from Trick Turbo did a awesome job on the kit. He fit a 4" downpipe and I just brought the 4" all the way past the cab as far as I could go without getting into the 4 link. Also got the bed inner fender wells widened also.
