Yes, that would work. I went a little further and used tubular lower control arms so I could use a longer shock and hopefully ride better. So I didn't use Atomic except to purchase the shocks and springs, but wouldn't hesitate to purchase his brackets for your truck

 

This is epic, man I wish I had the attention to detail that you do and that I wasnt lazy lol

 

I believe pre-load on the traction bars should be with the truck on the ground and driver weight in the vehicle

 

That's correct, I didn't have a way to put 230lbs in the drivers seat, but the weight of the truck is still on the rear axle since it's up in the air and jackstands are under the axle. I have the truck up in the air so you can see the front suspension a lot better now if you want to drop by some point on Sunday to check it out.

 

Have you gotten a chance to drive it yet with the coilover conversion? I've been unsatisfied with both of my nbs trucks' ride quality, so this might be a good solution. My Vikings on my 4th gen Camaro rode great.

 

Not too much, only like 50 miles, and I was more worried about the fresh build and listening for noises instead of focusing on ride quality. I will say the Viking setup on my gray extended cab rode wonderfully, even in Austin shitty roads.

 

Added the rear fender liners today. Need to do something about the red bolts though.






Cut out around the notch




Used a heat gun on the passenger seat to get it a little tighter. I think it just needs to sit in the sun

 

That truck is clean! looks good.

 

 

Awesome build man! Great attention to detail and the truck seems like it was a really clean starting point.
