2011 access cab overhaul

My wife is going to kill me....;0

 

I'm about to go pick up my truck from the shop with brand new rubber! Pumped.

 

sub'd for the pics

 

As expected I need to do some more cutting of my cab mount and body. I can drive without rubbing but any up travel at full turn will rub. Ill post pics later.

 

I got all the goodies together for the Chevy 63 swap tomorrow.

 

Took the truck to any 7 offroad for the swap. Now I get to roll around in my father in laws clean 85'

 

Pick up my baby tomorrow morning. I can hardly wait. Now I'm going to have to find some time to flex it out hopefully my ATO rear bumper and 4x innovations sliders show up at my doorstep soon.

 

How do you like the tires so far, and how is it with stock gears? Post pics when you start cutting please.

 

sick build... I want to trim the fenders on my 11 access cab too so I can stuff 35s but I figured I'd wait till I wear the 33s until I need to replace them. YOU are making me reconsider those chevy springs too.... thanks

 

Very nice build. Looks really nice with the camper. Cant wait to see pics of the new setup.

 

Looking good man! I actually really like the style camper with the solid doors on the side. Super clean cuts on the fender too, looks great.

Well, I can feel a difference in power a bit. I'm sure that it would be way more noticeable if going from 26570r17 but from the 28570r17to the 31570r17 it's not that bad.

 

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Well I picked up my truck and....I LOVE IT! It gave the rear 3" of lift and I have so much more travel with the Chevy springs and Billsteins. It rides very smooth on the road and I can't wait to get out really use them. Here are some pics.

 

Thanks for the pictures kind sir.

 

I needed some extended brake lines also. I think the stock ones were 12-14" long. I put 26" stainless lines in.




Dat ass

 

Nice! You either need longer bump stops or shorter U-bolts though!

Matt

 

Nice!!

 

I need to weld an Extension from the frame an additional 4". And definitely chop those long U bolts. There is still some detail work that needs to be done with the set up as well. I need to reattach the E brake lines to the frame by drilling and tapping for a mounting point.
My rear bumper came in the mail today. So pumped.

ATO Wraparound high clearance bumper.

 

Sick set up! will be watching this build......
