ATomics, i like the idea of a straight shot on that one pump seems like it would be better for flow. Also his appears to be alot simpler.

I do remember the bed clears the top of the frame rail about 1in.

I currently have the bed off my 03 and just measured for relocating the shocks. There's about a little over 2" of clearance if you get in one of the bed grooves.

Are these the 04+ buckets? Just wondering because the top of my 03 bucket is plastic, not metal...

This is good s*** going on here haha loving the creativity!

So from what I have been reading, you need an 04+ tank for the bucket to fit? This is kind of a broad question, but with my 2000 bucket style, should I go with the 255 or go ahead and get a 400/450, I guess it depends on the boost desired.

How high of boost can I get with a 255 stock lines and appropriate injectors verse the 400 or 450?

Oh and I ordered my 4.10s Thanks for the support "Don't Fear The Gear" haha

Unfortunately there is no money for the posi yet. I guess it would be stupid to put the 4.10s in with the stock 1 legger
