    So truck is gonna be down longer than expected due to some new idea and they really are the right way to go. Front halfing the truck and upgrade the whole front end to accompany the engine and all. With a whole new front end the way we want it will give me about 26-30 inches of travel. New centerlink, and all. So as it stands now were doing the front end, long travel, ls1, nose cage, axle. That's the first part. Rest will come later. I will have pics up soon

    Dang to get those kind of numbers will you be narrowing the frame? And what are ya gonna go with steeringwise?

    Sounds like this thing will be a hardcore beast!


    And boom goes the dynamite.

    6-8" wide, that's why we need a full ram hydro steering system which can be found for about 800 bucks. That's what trophy trucks run

    Atleast ur puttin in a motor that can easily add the pump. Id like to run a full heim steering but most prerunners run moog centerlink joints and heims on the tierod ends. How are you gonna do the upper control arms where it attaches to the frame? Gonna do johnnys or heims or regular mounts?


    And boom goes the dynamite.

    Heims, but the factory frame won't be there anymore so it will be fully tabbed from firewall forward.
