Since I skinned the entire inside of the bed, I had to make a false bulkhead, so I may make a flip up door in there, and just use a brake cable from a mountain bike with a small lever in the cab behind the driver seat. i like the vacuum assisted ones too, but its hard to find one (or the electronic) at a reasonable price.

a bunch of people carry the flip down one you're lookin for.

Why not just use a small air cylinder? You already have the air supply, just run the line, valves, and a switch. The cylinders are pretty common and can be had pretty cheap. They come in a variety of lenghts too. Ive seen them go on ebay for 10-30 bucks depending on the stroke.

Up N Flames, that truck is sick. nice attention to detail.



i switched up my hood after pickin up the reflexxion hood for 200 beans at the Carlisle show. my father and I were talking to the Cervini's guys, but unless you flashed money in front of them, they were complete jerks.

Holy fuzzy pics batman!

Good looking truck, i would love to see a few clearer pics of it.

Im still undecided about lowering mine. For now the wheels are off, and im riding stockies.
I saw a great looking screw about an hour ago on the freeway.
Slammed on at least 22s perhaps 24s in lariat green and tan color-combo
It looked absolutley awesome, i was in traffic though so i couldnt get a closeup pic. Ill upload the crappy cell-cam pic in a few.


How do you guys running a 2/4 drop ride?
is the ride as comfortable as stock?

and Machtwo what drop are you running if you dont mind me asking.

Custom kit! Ha...DJM 2" Shackles, Western Chassic 5" flip kit, and 1" blocks in the rear for a total of 8". And in the front I just cut the coils.


Please, no one flame my methods, I don't care to hear it. My truck rides just fine the way it is. And I only spent around $150.
