This where it stands now I have a bunch of more tear down pics. Up to this point.. It's kind of funny u ask. I really like ur rear setup and am using it as a model to go by.... Hope u don't mind. Do u have any problems with the trailing arms twisting at all? Up front cup the lowers and bag plates up top. Wish I had the balls to section my crossmember or z the frame but for now low budget build and will save for the pb dropmember

sry for the late reply.. glad i could inspire!! as far as the trailing arms it doesnt seem like they are twisting at all.. as far as the front i wish i would have sectioned the crossmember but it gets low enough for now
are u gonna cup the control arms? or just gonna leave them alone till u get a dropmember?

No problem man. I'm sure it takes a while to respond to all or the threads ur on lol.
Good I'm glad to hear that, because I already started making plates for my frame for the upper bag mounts and new lower bag mounts... Made some 3 inch lowering blocks today on my morning break...
Trying to get my back set up done notch the front for steering and make my shock mounts so I can blast and paint my frame already.
I'm going to cup the lowers and I think I have convinced myself to section my crossmember as well....might as well already have come this far... No turning back now. I'm trying to do as much as I can before ordering drop spindles because I don't have a second set of wheels yet and plan to change to 5 lug

Thanks Dino! means alot to actually have all of the superstars notice my project. Takes me a little longer than you guys, do to limited tools, time, and space. I've been watching ur build threads for a while. You def have a nice fleet. I think the dually is my favorite. You need to post a recent picture of your fleet actually! You had mentioned mounting the front bags in the upper spring pocket.... I'd like to see more on that!

Very little progress lately....pushed out my truck to clean out my garage a little. Have a small garage but at least i have a garage. So I have to utilize every square inch...


My garage is lacking good juice so my good friend dropped off some goodies so I can make some progress

Made some plates for rear upper bag plates and started getting my notches ready for prep and tacking....kind of exciting..feel like I'm getting somewhere

Small progress update. I'm not a master welder or anything so be easy on me lol. Got my notches and rear filler plates for upper bag mounts all tacked in place to make sure everything is level and as square as I could make it.

Although I still love the snow, and winter time does not bother me per'se, I am certainly tired of Alaksa. The winters up here are just too freekin long!

All I can say is the rumor of Spring is on its way !!
