Matchbook clearance! Damn

in-house truss or store bought? If in-house, you guys have any files for a 9.5 AAM? Asking for a friend who want to solid swap his Tahoe 😉

The engine, no idea what he plans exactly. About 800hp. I know the trans has been built up and has a big torque converter already.

The truss is garage built. I don't have any drawings for anything other diffs

If I just glazed over something or any other question, please ask. I went through the pics and description rather fast.

So much awesome in this thread man. I absolutely love those trailing arms and the upper shock mounts. You plan to tie them together with an engine cage of sorts?

Thanks
I do want to add some more bars but need to leave it open for now. The cab will be caged after Thanksgiving and that will tie into motor and bed as well. I've spoke to a couple people that worked on these and they say you that before you get the wheels off the ground.

Was looking at things to finish this week and seen the exhaust. I'm liking the idea of dual side exit under the extra cab. Something kinda like this

The 12v is going back to work today to finish up a couple details and off the Jefferson State this weekend. Was on it for a good 10 hours yesterday to get everything together.


I want to move the shocks to the front tabs after we get it on the lift.


And that's where I left off last night
