instant favorite thread!!
![]() WOW!! I'm not much for the lowering of trucks but I do appreciated creativity & fab skills. I'd go the other way with that setup, (so I could lift it up when off-road, & lower it somewhat for the street), but to each his own. The main reason I'm replying is to compliment the fabwork. Good Job!! Keep us up with your progress. Later,

uniballs
Just out of curiosity, are you using 1" uniballs on both the upper and lower control arms? How do these bolt to your spindle? Are there spacers or bolts available to fit in the tapered spindle holes? The whole setup looks great!

it looks like you are running a stepside bed.....any major mods to get the wheels to tuck? i.e. narrowed rear, major mods to the inside of the fenders?

Valleycustom, damn I can fabricate but you guys are doing a beautiful job on that truck frame and doing it all in your garage is incredible. Props for this guy for sure. Next you will be building these frames for guys I am sure someone will ask. You better take measurements and record what you do. PROPS>

Man I wish I have a 10th of the skills you have man! You could make a killing building frames for people! People would have you booked for months waiting for your next crazy creation. How long have you been working on this frame?

valleycustom, just reiderating what everyone else has said, simply incredible work!!! im very curious as to your background, it seems building a frame like this would take a tremendous amount of knowledge or experience in engineering. id like to be able to build something like this one day, but just dont have enough knowledge or confidence to attempt it.

what goes into building a frame table? is it built custom for each frame or is it a basic template like a jig? sorry for all the questions. i find this very interesting and would like to learn more about it. thanks again.

awesome. thanks for the info, any pictures of the entire frame table? i can see just bits and pieces in your frame pics. also, do you use mostly tig or mig on your frames? your welds look great.
