Truck looks awesome man i have a few questions. How are the wheels holding up in the salt if you keep them on and did you weld the sliders on or bolt them ?

 

haha thank you zach.
yes they are welded on. and the wheels are great no problems.

 

Thanks! what backspacing do you have are they the 3.625

 

Yerp 3.625 . If you do 33/12./15 be ready to do the BFH mod.

 

I already BFH'ed her for my 285's thinking of the rims in 16's can't decide on the 3.625 or 4.425 did you have to get special lugnuts??

 

Nice yeah I got new lug nuts.

 

sub'd sick truck man

 

Haha thanks man.
I installed my ARB air compressor and I have the locker for the rear but can't instal it yet.

 

im running some 10 in travel fox 2.0 resi with an all pro leaf pack with 2 leafs out. i got stock shock mounts and at ride hieght the shocks are about 2 in from bottoming out. u have a lot more agressive of an angle to fit those 10in billys so they are more extended at ride hieght but can u tell a difference on the shocks not having as much of a compression affect since there so angled?

 

This beast has come along very nicely! I really like your rear suspension setup. How do you like the 10in and do you look to gain a lot more articulation with the 12in?

 

Well when I mounted them to the frame I mounted them up higher and back 3" from stock driver side location to get more up travel and with the shocks valved at 255/70 the angle is not to bad. And it is nice not hitting bump driving around town.

 

Just get some bump stops up front and bigger tires. And NO I WILL NOT sell you my truck

 

Thank and same to you I want to see that axel under your truck soon.
I love the 10" shocks I get full travel of the leafs with them but I want to get a set of 9" over frame mounted shackles so that would get me more droop thus I would need 12" or 14" shocks. Or I can go full LT with cantilever because I will not cut up my bed. I will also be doing Johnny joints on the front and rear of the leafs that will get me a lot more flex.

 

Will be installing my ARB locker soon
You guys will like my switch setup on the dash I will post up picks some time

 

decided to build a mini bed cage. like shock hoops through the bed.

 

Are you going to have any angle on the shocks?????

 

hmmm idk think i prob will a little

 

Why not keep them under the bed.

 

i would have to angle them alot and cant mount themm much higher either soo mini bed cage is the solution. then maybe later down the road,,, full bed cage

 

I would hate to have a bed cage of any size I use my truck bed way to much.
