I started bolting my rear together tonight. Here are a few pics. Tell me what you all think.

phantom dually · 03-05-2003, 10:54 PM

Another one!

turmoline · 03-05-2003, 11:16 PM

Lookin good there. I like those discs.

bagged81 · 03-06-2003, 09:23 PM

Looks really good!! I would have boxed the inside another 6"-8" though. I guess you arent doing a four-link then, huh?

BaggedC10 · 03-07-2003, 12:38 AM

Looks awesome!

What was applied to the frame, rear-end, and leaf springs?

i was going to ask the same question.

70 Jimmy · 03-07-2003, 10:00 AM

Looks like leafs with a few taken out and bag brackets. Is that rear shackle flipped? I can't remembeer what mine looks like.

phantom dually · 03-07-2003, 02:41 PM

The frame as well as anything that can possibly be powder coated has been. It is really reasonable having this stuff done versus paying some one to paint for you. The axle is flipped and the leafs are 4" drop leafs.

love it loud · 03-07-2003, 08:09 PM

are those leafs from western chassis? how much drop do you get with the flip/4" leafs?

phantom dually · 03-07-2003, 11:20 PM

I got these from stylin concepts. Im not sure who makes them. They are 4" drop leafs.

love it loud · 03-07-2003, 11:25 PM

how much drop with the combo?

phantom dually · 03-07-2003, 11:40 PM

I have not really measured the drop. I had my factory 15 wheels on at one time and the tire hit the top of the well when I put 2" blocks on. I really dont know how it is going to sit. I would really liked to have 4 linked it. Has anyone heard of a 2 link kit for our trucks??

(3.1415)lot · 03-09-2003, 06:34 PM

The powder coating looks phat! Who did it anyway, probably some ppl would like to know in your area I imagine, given it is a quality job. . .

What kind of truck you makin' anyway?

Keep the pics coming

phantom dually · 03-09-2003, 07:23 PM

I am building a PHANTOM DUALLY. I will be using a dually bed with a stock axle (rebuilt of course) and then putting a set of Mickey Sportsmans on it. Going with 33 19.50 15 tires on a set of15x14 billet specialties. I am hoping to change the leafs out for a nice 2 link set up or a bolt on 4 link that a friend of mine is designing as I type this. I will post more as I build. Thanks for the congrats. I love it to.

phantom dually · 03-09-2003, 07:24 PM

Oh and powder coat was done by Custom powder coating in Lagrange Ky and smaller parts are being done at a new place called CFS in Louisville Ky.

BaggedC10 · 03-09-2003, 11:14 PM

Stay away from a 2-link!

They are known to cause allot of driveline issues (Check-out www.FullsizeChevy.com for more specific reasons). A 4-link would be much better and will allow for the best ride/handling/traction.

rin68 · 03-11-2003, 12:51 AM

phantom

where did you get the rotors and how much were they? very cool looking

Ryan Flowers · 03-11-2003, 02:27 AM

Phantom,

I like the rear end. Good start & keep us posted.

phantom dually · 03-11-2003, 09:48 PM

I bought the rotors from www.pureperf.com They sell rotors for almost anything.
