I just sent you a PM. Just keep in mind that there's always more than one way to skin a cat, and that often times the difference between "better" and "worse" is merely based on opinion, not fact. You can get the same ride quality out of a tapered sleeve and out of a double convoluted... when they are set-up properly.

The kit is complete from a-z. All you need is a drill and something to cut your frame in half with!

With the drop member, how far would the frame be off the ground at ride heigth?
And is the bottom of the straight part of the frame level?
Thanks,
bryan

The bottom of the framerials under the cab will be approx. 5", and yes... they sit level (I am not a big fan of the raked look!).

royo · 04-09-2008, 09:53 PM

nice

72BlckButy · 04-09-2008, 10:03 PM

Wow... from one Nate to another, you do some amazing work! Can't wait to see the kit you put together for lolife99, it will make the '86 ride just right.

tds · 04-10-2008, 02:15 AM

ahh i forgot a few questions. how much lift? are you a performance online dealer for that tank? got a pic from behind with that tank installed? just wondering if you mount a rollpan can you see the tank?

Thanks a lot for the info, i'll probably have many more questions to come.

Amazing work once again.

The rear gets 8" of lift to match the front.

I am not a performance on-line dealer.

I will look to see if I have a pic from behind with the tank installed... I am pretty sure a roll pan will cover it up, you can't see it with a bumper.

Thanks Pete

shortchev · 04-19-2008, 03:46 AM

**lolife99** · 04-23-2008, 06:53 PM

ttt for updates?

tds · 04-23-2008, 11:43 PM

lets keep this at the top.

PBFAB.COM · 04-24-2008, 04:05 AM

Here's some updates... good and bad!

Bad:

The powdercoater I use is slower than I am! Looks like I should have the parts back by the end of the week.

Good:

Here's some pics of a front and rear that's heading off to MO.

**lolife99** · 04-24-2008, 04:54 AM

Christmas was never this good! Thanks for posting the pics.

I see no pics?

RunninLo · 04-24-2008, 06:24 AM

Nathan is secretly prototyping a new "reflex" powder that renders all parts near invisible similar to star trek cloaking device. Don't let DARPA find out he's been skimming for personal parts or there might be an "accident"

Josh
PS the powder coaters would have been in a bigger hurry if they would've been 72 Suburban parts

PBFAB.COM · 04-24-2008, 09:15 AM

Where did the pics go?????? They were there, I know they were!!!

Looks like I will have to repost them in the morning.

**lolife99** · 04-24-2008, 01:22 PM

They WERE there. Maybe I just imagined them.

SCOTI · 04-24-2008, 03:19 PM
