i just looked it up it looks good, thanks for the tips, question: why do i want the bar as high as possible? why cant i cut a hole on each side of the frame and weld it it like the stock crossmember is?

 

What your saying makes me think, if i dail it in exacly how it needs to be with the 2/4 drop i have now and decide to go lower later it will change the degree of the shocks

 

You want the longest shock possible...you want 5"+ of travel

Short shocks **** ya with a caltrac setup...extension is key...so set shocks up with 1.5-2" of remainding compression and rest extension

Example my shocks are 24.5" long and roughly 5" drop in rear

 

If it is directly above it, no. If its offset, then yes the angle will change. That's probably why George said as high as possible, to give you the most flexibility with the angles and placement. Its also easier to fit a shock given a larger space vs a smaller space.

 

Good points right there, i´ll post pictures as i go

 

Picked up some bling at bogarts on my trip, met Rich in person, great and helpfull guy to deal with

 

Yeah... I'm down here right now getting some logs on this motor I just built for my buddy's Pontiac gxp! When you get back up this way let me know! I'd like to check that truck out!

 

Sounds good

 

Updates:
Shocks stock location:


Parts i cut out


After cutting


New Wheels
17x7 D10´s street/strip fronts
15x10 D10´s street strip rears




Brackets for new shock locations




After everything installed shocks came out at 5 degrees

Question i have is why does everybody weld the crossmember like this and not laying on the frame like i did? i measured under my bed and i have the room for it, dont u want it as high as possible?


Crossmember isnt fully welded in i can still make changes that why im asking

 

Those rims are nice!!! Gonna look like a completely diffrent truck with those!
