So my quest for an even better riding and handling suspension setup is leading me to drop my truck another 1" on all four corners.

Here's the break down of what all will happen parts wise.

Front Current
3" Eibach springs
Factory lightning spec bilsteins
Front Future
2" spindle
2" springs
2" ground force drop shock

Rear Current
2/3" Eibach hanger (3" used)
2" ground force shackle
Lightning spec bilsteins
Rear Future
2/3" Eibach hanger (3" used)
JLP 2/3/4 shackle (actual drop 3" on highest mark)
4-6" Ground force drop shock
Had to start with notching a crossmember under the cab for driveshaft clearances, and i also had to install a Cnotch on the frame for axle clearances.


Here's the pics of the crossmember cutting, and Cnotch. More pics as more parts come in, and get installed

Be careful not to door ding yourself





Making notch for crossmember

 

Day 2



Mocking, Tracing, Cutting, Grinding, Welding






Had to support rear of frame during cutting and welding to make sure it didnt sag and settle funky







Tomorrow everything will be coated in undercoating, so no pics of that yet....

 

That's a pretty beefy looking c-notch. Nice work! Cutting up your own truck takes some cajones!

 

looks like fun! cutting into the truck means no turning back. that is going to look sick!

 

I'm excited for finish pics!!

 

Nice work!

 

Me too.... AHhhh F it bag that bish

 

well the week's work is completed, so the truck is "finished" for now. need to order a few more parts, so stay tuned.

I wish i had the resources, financially and mechanically to bag the truck. Still need a reliable daily driver too

 

looks good man lol

 

You have a bigger pair than I do sir.

 

I don't think I could do it.

 

i could, i jus need the "resources" too haha
$$$, a DD, & tools

 

that looks hella good man

c-notch turned out good
if things go well finacially for me this summer i might hit you up about cnotching mine lol

 

Its going to look wicked patman! I dont think any of us would have a problem hacking up a car or our own truck if we had all the knowledge patman has..

 

looks nice, got too say pretty good with the welder!
