Damn looking sweet. i love glass one day ill own me some

thanks, and yea so do i haha and you should.

it took me about 5 hours to do the complete install.

 

[Heavyfire14]

got my new rims and tires.

and i jus ordered a 5 inch performance kit wich consists of; 1" uniball upper arms, fabtech 2 inch lift coils, 2.0x8" fox shock upgrade with shock, limit straps, and it uses my 3" lift spindle... my truck is gonna be a little to high in the front though. 5" in the front and stock in the rear? idk we will see how it turns out.

 

[Heavyfire14]

so future plans are- either re-gear or 8.8 with 4.56 gears on the rear, flip the shackels, deaver f31 leaf pack, fiberglass bedsides, 33x10.50r15 bfg all terrians, bed cage, fox 2.0 resies (either 12 or 14 inch stroke maybe 16) bumps for the front and rear and straps for the rear... im prolly forgetting a couple things

haha idk i never installed them... im selling the fronts for 50 bux tho. new in the box. im installing the rears in a week and a half.

 

[Heavyfire14]

well i got an 8.8 rear end with 4.56 gears and i flipped the shackels and got some nationals for super cheap. and installed them on my truck (pics soon) and i have a pair of fox 2.0x14 smooth body resies (from the late 90s but they work haha) on the way and im looking for someone to trade my 31s for their 33s

so far so good

 

[prerunnerwannabe]

Does that mean you're selling your rear ProComp 9000s? Did you ever install them? If you did, did you like them?

 

[Heavyfire14]

Nice, just read through most of this (Just the pics actually lol). Any updates??

 

[Heavyfire14]

totally fergot to update this...

i got an 8.8 and some national leaf springs:

and then i got some 33x12.50x15 m/t's

and i jus got some fox 2.0x14's off of DR, they are from the late 90's but they work haha

now im waiting on the funds so i can get a bedcage built for me and so i can get some 4 inch buldge fiberglass bedsides

 

[Heavyfire14]

oh and heres a pic of my kit that i got done on the front end:

 

[getrdone52]

Dude that looks awesome! Was that you I was reading about that blew the 7.5? Anyways, that 8.8 looks good How much travel do you think you have now?

 

[Heavyfire14]

yeah haha i blew up my 7.5. and thanx man, im loving the 8.8. and these springs are capable of 18 inches but im planning on strapping it at 14 or 15 inches of travel, but i prolly am only gettin 12 or 13 right now cause of the stock shocks.

so far i am extremely satisified with how the truck is coming out so far and how quickly shes coming together!

 

[getrdone52]
