Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

hey guys i finished all the work on my frame. pb front and rear also did the 2inch Z. tomorow im headed to powder coat and need ur opinion. the frame will be black and suspension parts purple. colors are set in stone however my friend and my brother think it will be too much purple to do ALL The PB parts purple. any input or pics of ur set-up would be great. thanks in advance. pics coming soon

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

lookin good! lookin forward to some pics!

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

I'd say do the frame, crossmembers, and front dropmember in black. Control arms, trailing arms, and smaller parts (shocks, loose brackets, panhard/sway bars, etc) in purple. I did a similar combo with hammered black and hammered silver and was happy with the contrast without it being "too much"

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

I agree with ^, or maybe even a little less. Any moving parts in purple and stationary parts in black.

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

heres the update...

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

and more...

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

Everything looks great, but I am confused. Why did you Z the frame AND do a Dropmember?

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

the previous owner Zed the frame, i just finished it and made it stronger. im runing 24inch wheels so the Z will allow it to lay. the dropmember alone allows u to lay 29 1/2 inch tire combo, 24's are around 31 1/2

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

Nice keep up the progress pic's

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

Nice progress! Have you picked a wheel yet?

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

i did purchase a set of 24in asanti wheels, unfortunately they where stolen out of my garage a few weeks ago. i might be getting them back , a detective called saying they might know a shop trying to sell them.

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

the frame and susp.parts haveall been blasted and powdercoated. i need to find some time to re-assemble and take some pictures...i know we all love pictures.

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

Sick setup... Sorry to hear about the wheels. Hopefully you get them back.

i have a question, on the second to last pic. thats my lower balljoint, is it suppose to be smashed that way?

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

Thats your dust boot... it's designed to keep junk out of your ball joint. They all smash down like that.

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

man that looks amazing!

cant wait til you get that body on, i wanna see it laid out

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

Nice job, looks great!

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

Got a visit from the brown truck today....air management I scored on eBay for 600. 2 vair 480s, 8 xtreme 350 valves, 2 dual gages, 9 button switch box, air tank and all the hoses and fittings.... now I need time to install them. Still gathering parts, brakes are next.

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

Still gathering parts to get this project going. I was able to get a new ride tech level pro and a set of c6 z06 brakes. I got the rear brackets from 87chevy and the front modified dropped spindles from way2lo2. Also got the calipers rotors and pads from way2lo2. Here's a couple of pics, I hope to get some time to work on it soon.

Looks good

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

nice!

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

Are those the wheels that were stolen? Looks good man!

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

Thanks guys. Unfortunately the wheels that were stolen where never recovered. Those are some 3 piece 22's I got for now.

I have a question, do u guys think that 3 gallon tank on the level pro is enough? I wont be playing with the bags much but I have a 5 gallon and two vair 480 that I could use. Also if I use the additional compressors and thank can I just plum then on the other feed port of the manifold? Thanks

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

well, my 5 gallon airs my truck up and down once, so i would imagine a 3 gallon wouldnt be too ideal. i would plumb them together..if its possible.

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

the 3 gallon will not be enough... I recommend the 5 gal. No you can not use the addtional compressors with the e3 they draw to many amps and will blow the nods inside the ECU. The e3 is designed to work with no more than dual thomas 327 compressors or a single viair 400

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

Thanks for the reply and the offer. I already purchased the level pro, I found it on Craigslist for a good price (in my opinion)LOL. I don't want to wire the compressors into the system, I want to wire them on their own and just supply air to the system. Can this be done? I'm sure i would have to get a 150 psi pressure switch. Thanks in advance.

Re: laying frame with PB trailing arms
 

im pretty sure you can run the wire from the controller that usually goes to the compressor, and put 2 relays their so you dont pop the ecu.
