I try not to think about it but I would say probably 5-6k so far and its far from where I want it (sitting in the running boards)

 

well Travis and I got the modified arms on tonight...I was wrong, I can't drop near as low as before. I'll get some pics tomorrow after the alignment. I can go higher than a stock 4x4 now lol...I'm on the hunt for some stock control arms now.

 

nice work so far man.

 

Very nice I love it not feeling the running boards though and for 5-6k you could have had status or ektensive bag it and been laying frame oh well have fun with it

 

if only i had more money too :o

 

well I made this thread stating my intentions and nobody gave me that advice...I have a pretty badass welder so he will give me want I want eventually...

 

thanks bro...little update for you..I decided to go back for one more semester to get a Maritime Administration business minor..only 4 more classes and I'll be done in December. They offer a Masters now for that so I may do that some day..

 

wow...awesome work

 

What are your plans now?

 

Need to have another meet soon. Wanna see the kr this time

 

the plans now are to find some stock control arms and use those and if my welder is ever free, relocate the bags and notch my frame so I can get some drop in the rear.

I'm down!


and here are the pics of my mistake (mounting the strut higher)

this is aired out

max air..lots of lift lol

 

Sucks it didnt work out. I suggest going with the stock control arms then removing the inner fender liners, and possibly the entire inner fender with a custom one re welded in. Also an option would be to use the 04-08 belltech drop spindle we were talking about before but swap in the 04-08 rotors and calipers so they work.

 

Travis keeps pushing me to tub my fenders... Going to 04-08 rotors, Now that's something to think about! Travis did my alignment this afternoon and told me I couldn't sit at 32"(ground to fender flare) because my truck wouldn't align even with the camber holes elongated. So I'll need more low somehow..

I'm going to talk to the welder soon and see about doing away with the air struts

 

What's Travis charging you to align it? Need to toe mine but don't wanna pay 60+ just for a toe adjustment.

 

I just wish I had the money to execute all of my ideas and theories I have
