Project DirtShark: 97-03 Dixon Brothers 4x4 Long Travel Suspension
Thought I would make a little build thread on my truck. Took the DBR kit and made a little modification to it to accommodate my needs. There will be more to come, I want to try and fit a 3.0x10" triple bypass in there somehow, and after that I'm going to link the truck after i figure out exactly how I'm going to go about it. Somewhere in between I would like to stuff a johnny lightning performance short block with a kenne bell supercharger to give her the get up and go I want. It should be a fun project and hopefully by the time its done I can enter in on truck of the month! If your ever in the Arizona desert keep your eyes peeled, DirtShark might just be lurking..

Yea I can completely understand that, still though the truck looks nasty. When do you think your gonna get around to the rear suspension?

I love the mods. Just remember, when you make these mods, it may void your warranty with Ford. I once had a brand new radio stop working when the truck was only 20k miles. But they wouldn't touch it because it wasn't the one that came with the truck. I bought it from Amazon. The seller had good reviews and the radio was supposedly new. But you know how mods are, YMMV. Suspension change like this would probably be the same.

fnnrNArnner74, is about all I can say. Spectatular fab work. If I were to be **** and really get nit-picky (which you certainly don't need), I'm surprised you mounted the coil-over reservoirs in that hot engine compartment. But I'll caviat that with I'm certain you thought of that and decided on it for a reason.
