Nice truck. How did you hook up your filler neck for the tank, and does that tank interfere with the shock at all? thanks.

rs72z · 04-14-2012, 01:24 PM

Thanks.
I brought I up through then bed floor in the left rear corner and will build a box around it with a lid.

On a short bed the rear shock has to be moved to the front of the axle.

I have the interior pretty much wrapped up now. Got the cruise wired up yesterday and works great. Stereo installed. Recieved my rear disc brake brackets for the dana that's going in it soon. I orderd up some airbag brackets to put helper bags on the rear and i will be adding a new upper shock crossmember so i can get the shocks installed at a better angle.
I still need to get the tailgate painted and the bedliner sprayed, hopefully that all will be done in a couple of weeks.

One word...
AWESOME!!!

Yes we did. Luckily no naders in our area and no 3" hail this time. They were about 45 miles to the south west. Did you guys get any of that 3 feet of hail the other day?

rs72z · 04-15-2012, 10:41 AM

No we didn't, but there is pretty good chance of bad storms today.
glad y'all missed too.

Mine is not a dually, but its a 1 ton on full air ride. The only thing I wish i would have done is a better control system.. Ride is awesome, like a Caddy...

Cool. That's what i wanted to hear.
I pretty much have made up my mind to do it.
Are you fourlink in the rear or air over leaf?

classicchev · 04-21-2012, 11:06 AM

I did a 4 link from ART.. I used there control system, but if I was to keep the truck I would change it up to have level controls to make things easier and quicker to set up to drive height.. Porterbuilt made me some narrowed A arms too, cleans the front up nicely
too.

Have you had a chance to figure your gas mileage yet, Just wondering. By the way, 1st class ride.

Anything new?

rs72z · 05-02-2012, 11:30 PM

Not much. I have been to busy with the boys baseball.

I did get the dana 70 swapped in and the disc brakes installed. I also ordered a aol setup for the rear that should be here tomorrow.

I also have the tailgate about ready to shoot.

*OYMC* · 05-02-2012, 11:34 PM

B-e-a-utiful truck!

rs72z · 05-03-2012, 07:59 AM

Thanks

rs72z · 05-05-2012, 12:43 PM

I finished the rear end and disc swap yesterday and got the aol bags installed. We went for a little drive last night, it rides great now. No more tire vibration from the wheels not being centered on the cheap spacers i had on the 14bb.
I need to borrow a pressure bleader to bleed the brakes, they feel like there's still some air in them.
I'm ready to put some miles on her now so i can check the fuel milage.

wyattglock · 05-05-2012, 02:05 PM

Good to hear! Drive on up to IN and I'll let you use my power bleeder, lol!!
