    Am I doing this right?
    Not too familiar with Cantilever but it looks pretty sweet. Can't wait to see what this build turns out to be! :thumbsup:

    Canti is done minus shocks and limit straps but that'll come.
    Big thanks to @anthony250f for the work space and help!

    Stock suspension with some weight in the bed..
    Definitely due for an upgrade.

    Day 1.
    Tearing into a completely unmolested truck is always great.
    Previous owner kept this thing completely stock, frame was a little dirt but no rust! :D

    Started with Frame Plates.

    The rest of the build became one of those lets get it done builds so no real step by step pics.
    Just random ones here and there.

    Hoping on the "later" lol
    This whole canti added up. Always one part that was missing or wrong.
    On that note if anyone is looking for some 2.5 12" Fox bypasses LMK. Lol

    This should be the last one for a while.
    Thanks man! They're awesome, but if you do get a pair I recommend the non tinted version, cant see shit out these headlights stock.
    Ripping them apart for the retrofit was a bitch too

    Thanks buddy!

    Got the new to me bypasses mounted.
    Filled the bumps and bypasses with nitrogen.
    [​IMG]

    Got this installed at Anthony's place
    [​IMG]

    Was dark when we finished so no installed pics, shackles hit the stock mounts for the bumper so had to do some cutting and welding.

    Also had time to mess around with the bypass tubes, install mud flaps, and do the grey wire mod.

    You have got to put more info about this rear suspension set up. If this will allow me to keep my bed space, the I want the cantilever too! What kind of costs/ time involved?

    Full Bed Space, Pulls about 15-16" of travel.
    Doesn't give as good of a shock ratio as a traditional Spring Under Axle set up but I was going more for complete bed space so this set up is a perfect middle ground for me.

    I bought the canti off of a friend of mine. He paid LSK to build it for him. Not sure how much it ran him, guessing 3k at least.
    On top of that you need shocks and leafs, plus random hardware. Adds up quick.

    Took me and @anthony250f a few weeks to install it properly, but we were only working on it a few days a week.
    Unless you know quite a bit about fabrication you'd probably be better off paying someone to do this for you haha

    Unless you're really pushing your truck you'd probably be fine with an OME set up and some off the shelf shocks.
    I personally was planning on going that route but managed to piece this together for a little bit more than what an OME set up wouldve cost.

    10:4, I've been toying around between long travel and just going with OME and be done... Both I am sure would be good options but one is definately more work, time, money etc...

    Yea my front end is just mid travel and will probably always stay that way. Don't use the truck hard enough to need an LT truck haha

    Shit have hardly used the truck as it sits right now. Always needs one more thing to fix or what not haha
