Cool!!!

Update...with GM14 ready to Rock & Roll....

looks great, you definitely shouldn't have any troubles with that GM14 as far as reliability.

Well after a few month (and after a D44 pig head breakage) I started the rebuild...
The idea is to change the front susp from 4link to 3 link, and 14" bilsteins. I think is going to flex better. Another thing, is the UPG from 36x13.5 iroks to 38,5x14,5 TSL SX`s...
I´m little worried about the steering, but...we`ll see...

pics..

Looking good as usual Pato!!

I think that you'll be pleasantly surprised by the 3-link's performance....

I think...yes! My goal is 194 cm or 76.4 in or 6.36 ft..let`s see!

[metalmacguyver]

Amazing man. Just amazing.

Is the front axle much wider than the rear or is it just the photo? BTW that thing is a beast!

I don't think the changing the link configuration alone will improve articulation too much, especially running the same spring. Unless the 14" Bilstein is an air shock that I'm not aware of, in which case, please excuse my ignorance lol.

wow very nice !!!!

Well Johnny, I took a loooong time to retake this project, but its almost done...

Soon RTI pics...

Patov, the weather, presidents, and seasons will always change, but the quality of your work will not. Your truck is still one of my personal favorites, and I can't wait to see your articulation pics with the 38's & 14 bolt.

Happy crawling!
