Well, I gave her a 5 minute crap wash and took some pics. Lemmie know what you think. I love her!

Laid out...

Aired up fully, dang thats a lot of lift...

And ride height... id guess its about 6/8 or so. Dont wanna go any lower the LCA just scrub on EVERYTHING.

No the back isnt done yet. Thats a whole nother money pile, but I already have the EDC setup so it shouldnt be too bad, just need another tank, 4 link, and notch/bags/etc...

ocbaud · 04-01-2005, 05:34 PM

what did you use to lower your rear before??

the truck looks awwesome

BabyBlue · 04-01-2005, 06:17 PM

cool, can't wait to see it fully bagged with some new wheels

gldevall · 04-01-2005, 11:22 PM

How much $ do you have in it for the front? I'm thinking about starting a long process mod like this on mine. Oh yeah, looks real good laid out like that.

r0lf- · 04-02-2005, 12:16 AM

Welp, I think I put about a grand total into the front. But I already had the spindles, so if you dont, add ~200 onto that. The Engine driven setup was around 300 total, but I had brackets that I could already use. The rest of the parts, plates, cups, fittings, tanks, bags easily added up to 1000, thats a rough guess, maybe more. But I love it. It rides nicer than any old truck ive been in. Even with the Slammed static rear.

Eric- The rear is drop leaves (I didnt know I had until the flip went on), A flip kit, and a shackle set on 1". I cant wait to get the tri 4 link on, should ride completely like buttah.

Looks pretty good

low 84 · 04-02-2005, 12:44 PM

looks sick man! what are you sitting on up front? lca's, tanny x-member or tires on inner fenders?

i'm thinking about baggin mine with a kp 6 link in the rear and typical front setup this fall. could you break down what all part you bought and how much they were seperate for your front setup?

r0lf- · 04-02-2005, 01:42 PM

Im sitting on the inner fenders, and since its a daily driver. Its gonna stay that way. It will lay on the LCA's if I want. For the rear id just go a tri-4link /w canti... Im doing all my designing in autocad/solidworks to make sure its legit. It cuts out the need for a panhard and the extra 2 canti links in the rear. I was thinking about talking to Jason @ ***************** about making it a kit. But its hard to get ahold of him.

I can get you a parts list and prices later today. I have to work right now.

boxrodz · 04-02-2005, 01:47 PM

Again, looks real good.

Got any install pics?

r0lf- · 04-02-2005, 05:43 PM

I was gonna take some, but in the midst of using a worn bit and burning up a drill, I kinda forgot. Its real easy. Drop the wheel, drop the LCA drill the x member, bolt on bags and plate. Run lines to valves. Reinstall and air up. Simple.

boxrodz · 04-04-2005, 01:12 AM

Yeah, I know how it is when you're focused on getting it done. The reason I asked is because I understand that it may be possible to trim 3/4" to 1" of the SD's lower air bag bracket to allow it to sit lower in the LCA spring pocket without the bag rubbing.
Thanks anyway.

r0lf- · 04-04-2005, 05:03 AM

Yeah, you can always cut the cups. But laying frame (or LCA's) isnt THAT important to me on a daily driver.

boxrodz · 04-05-2005, 01:04 AM

r0lt-
I got one last question, if I may.
How much more of a drop do you figure do the bags give you when you rollin with the bags 'ride height'?
Thanks
