Sweet! Guess mine will have to wait til I do the Vortec 4200 swap. One day...



I towed the frame to our shop this morning and got the C Notches and adjustable track bar installed. Hopefully the airbags will be in by next saturday and I can get rear bags installed.


Bump stops cut off and marked for trimming.




Rough cut, still have to round out the corners.




Corners rounded and notch bolted in place. Going to pull the off later to paint them, and I'll be welding a 1/4" plate on the inside of the frame to strengthen the area.




Back on the ground.






What are yall guys doing for upper shock brackets and shocks? I know I'll need shorter shocks; what are a good brand/length to use for the rear?


Also got the engine set in place temporarily to get it off of the shop floor. Had to make some 1x6 engine mounts and a 2x2 trans crossmember until I can get the right parts for it.
