Yep the watts keeps the rear end perfectly centered so there is no side to side movement when the truck goes up and down. Pan hard bars as you know will pull and push the rear end left and right when the truck drops.

This gets my mind going, ha. Cant do em for free :P But im playing with something render wise at the moment

Superflysteiny ,I dont mean to be nosey but just curious what a ballpark figure would be for a chassis set up like yours would be .It is a piece of Art just as it sits ,but the reason I ask is because of the other thread about what this type of build does to the hobby of our old trucks .Mine are at stock height but I may do another one day a bit lower .I love these kinds of builds and I think its all good for our hobby whether they are lowered or not ,but yours are perfection .I can learn a lot just by looking in here on your builds .

[SierraMtns]

What system you running to operate the engine?

You could have 10000 in the suspension, air ride, brakes and powder coating

Are you asking me which harness. The computer is stock and that will be tuned on the dyno. I will be running a precision wiring harness.

Flashed . . ..... Keep in mind SuperFly uses top of the line brakes that require the bigger wheels, & state of the art air mgt. For those w/o that kind of budget, a rolling chassis can be done for much less if one is frugal (I don't have half that in my 64's rolling chassis set-up). A guy could just get the suspension parts & combine them w/limited powder coating, some rattle-can detail work, OE brakes, steelies, + a manual air set-up & achieve similar results (something w/a similar stance, is still clean & driveable but w/o the upgraded options).

SuperFly, N2Billet, Delmo, & Dino still have the 'details' advantage IMO as they've assembled several of these set-ups which helps that learning curve but we all gotta start somewhere

I was guessing $10 to $15 grand just from the looks of that set up .I dont think its for me but it sure does look good .

I agree 100% I was referring to what this one would cost. There are tons of ways to save money and still have a cool laid out truck.

Exactly.... Didn't want that number (which is legit for the parts/labor involved) to scare someone off from moving forward.

[superflysteiny]

So I installed the rear brakes, accuair and battery mount. Along with the brake line holders.

[1stchevy]

Moving right along, everything looks good.

I want to be there trust me on that but it just is not happening right now. I am watching the water situation out here. If it keeps going the way it is out here we will be leaving soon.

[Justin@EntropyRad]

Heard it was getting rough down south...is it just as bad in the Sac area?

[superflysteiny]

Down south has enough water for two years. We have none because we sell our water to the south

[Justin@EntropyRad]

no bueno, dude!
