going "Pro Street" - the affordable way!

hey guys, long time no talk. Anyway, i visited with a guy on facebook the other night who has pro streeted his truck while still retaining a 100% stock frame. Ive been wanting to "pro Street" my truck for a NUMBER of years, and NEVER had considered this as an option!

It seems like a SUPER solid way to do it without any major frame altering, can be done in a weekend or two, AFFORDABLE! - no need to spend $2,000+ on a rear subframe that needs to be cut and fit to the truck, retain stock width axle etc.

Basically what this process consists of, is simply moving all suspension components to the inboard side of the frame rails, adding a crossmember to weld top shock mounts too, and some other small stuff. Ive asked for more detailed pictures as well as a "build list" etc and parts i may need to buy to make this as straight forward as possible.

Just curious if anyone else here has already done this same process that can chime in or know anyone with this process done to their truck etc. Basically anyone with ANY knowledge on this type of process please give me pros/cons, ideas, suggestions/tips etc. Im hoping to do this yet this spring!

Heres some pictures of how he set everything up and how it looks. Will post other pictures as he send em to me!







Last pic is pretty dark, tried to lighten.

Anyway guys, let me know what you all think about this.
