Re: '06 HD Straight Axle Conversion Build Pics...

A simple crossmember was welded in place of the stock low slung one (NOTE: the stock crossmember does not need to be removed for this converison)...we just wanted to clean things up.

Capped, and sanded to look 'one' with the chassis:

The previous, custom made front hitch/generator mount was re-worked and reinstalled:

This front end ended up being roughly an 8-10" lift. After lifting the rear truck on the lift...we were almost 4-5 inched high than before in order to get it level.

However, a jack lifting from the rear ballmount will give us a better reading.

A full 8" spring pack will be next for the truck, along with modifing the rear airbag mounts.

During the summer, this truck hauls a massive cab-over and tows a boat..



I TOLD HIM SHOLD OF GOT A DURAMAX !!!
