time for a little update, the rear suspension had to be removed, because we're going with a diffrent set-up, one that matches the front...so the new ECE trailing arms, and xmember were removed and sold..also here are the pics of the inside door latch as requested (hope this helps).....

while the rear suspension is all apart, i took the opertunity to weld on a drain and fill port on the rear end....this has to be one (of many) dumb things ford did, make the 9" so that you must remove the wheels, brakes, axles, and thirdmember, just to change the rear end fluid...that is just dumb planning IMO...

don't hit anything with that drain while driving, that would leave a mess... are you gonna put a guard on it?

got the missing rod ends for the PB TAs, and installed everything...which leads to a problem, the "killer2" logo i made to go across the bridge, hits the rear end when aired out...so it'll have to be cut out and moved up about 1"..

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 
welp after installing the PB rear suspension, the added drop put the rear end at a crazy bad angle...so the rear end was pulled out, mounting pads cut off, set proper pinion angle at ride height, and weld them back on.... also the shocks bottomed out before the bags were fully compressed (also do to the added drop of the PB arms)... so the old shock mounts were removed, new ones made, and installed on the bridge....now with the taken care of, since the 6L80E is so big and the new PB setup, we're gonna have to tunnel the cab (all this will be hidden under the center console), and make the hoop bigger on the PB crossmember.. ill get pics of that when the time comes...

You are doing an awesome job on the build. Have you considered having the Nathan cut the logo in the bridge plate too.

I don't see what you have done being on the same quality level as the rest of your build.

Quick question pertaining to the rear setup- At full dump, how far is the frame off the ground?

Great looking build. I've been sitting on the sidelines watching this for quite some time now. You do amazing work.

got some brakes in.... they are massive, 14.5" rotors all round, 4 piston polished alumnium brembo style calipers, and braided brake lines....also got another electric style master cyliner/power booster....
the calipers are 12" long and nearly 7" wide, and they look BIG, as well as the ROTORS themselves....everything installed with no problems, except the rears....the rear caliper mounting bracket mounting holes were off by
.25"....im gonna call the company (abspowerbrake.com) and let them know, so they'll send me the correct brackets...but here is how big they are, and them mounted on the truck with 22s and 20s

im gonna wire in the air system to the brake switch... so incase of an emergency full on stop, the bags will deflate and just grindddd the front bumper to a stop (hopefully):lol::lol::uhmk:
