I don't drink at all actually... never interested me until I'm 21. Maybe we can get a meet going in the next few weeks? We could meet at Patriots Place and go to Red Robin or something after?

I don't have the money but it will be over time thru the winter and spring but its getting heads a cam fuel system. Some trans upgrades such as a 3500 stall and shift kit. Then ill start thinking about nitrous and other things. But gears are also going in 4.10s. Hopefully everything goes smooth and nothing breaks on the first run at the track in the summer. That's what I am praying for

Another update on my truck.

Just picked up a 78.5 Dana 60 king pin front axle. I'm going to set it up for coils. I also got a 95 Sterling 10.25 full floater. Also, I'm in the process of making some extended radius arms for set up also, with brackets ate the frame having the transmission crossmember tied into it.

My plan is to completely rebuild both axles with upgraded shafts, carriers, gears (4.56s) and maybe a Detroit TruTrac and Warn Premium Hubs.

So my truck has gone from stock 1/2 ton to lifted 1 ton.

I will be setting up the rear axle for either dual or triple shocks, leafs, quick disconnect sway bar, and ladder bars, and anti wrap traction bars ( yes there is difference between ladder bars and anti wrap traction bars).

And with the new axles I will be swapping up to 9" Skyjacker lift coils, and will be removing 3 inches from the 78 upper coil buckets. And will be using a Sky Manufacturing rear leaf shackle reversal. This nets about 4-5 inches of lift, with the shackle flip I will be putting in a zero rate block which re-centers the axle in the wheel well. and there will be a 2 inch block inserted too.

This will net me a total of 17 inches of lift. and this will allow for the use of 42-44 tires.

Edit: Still have 3 inch body lift, and the SAS adds 2" above stock. so 3+2+9+3=17

Just wanted to let everyone know.
