Well i just started a summer session at the local JC, so my weekdays have pretty much gone down the drain to work on my truck, got some new parts in, hoping to get MUCH done starting friday afternoon.....

Tires i bought about 20 miles before i started the project! 315/75/r16 pro comp Xtreme mud terrains, on my old eagle alloy's.



Fiberwerx front fenders.



Fox hydraulic bump stops.



Will keep ya posted on how this weekend goes....!

 

looks like its gonna be sweet

 

did you buy it as a kit?

 

yea the suspension parts themselves come as a kit, doesnt include shocks, fenders and all that stuff, but i have gotten all the parts from the same guy. But the long travel stuff itself is a kit that this guy designed, dixonbrosracing.com

 

sweet bro, it's pretty cool to see a 4x4 step up to some travel. someday for me. go four link all the way

 

these are pictures of my long travel 4x4 yeilding 14" of travel with 2.5 kings with bumpstops.. right now I am currently doing an upgrade to 3.0 shocks that will yeild 16" of travel . will try to post pics

 

I use jdfabrication.com, glassworks fenders, king shocks and hydrolic bumpstops, 37" bfgoodrich baja's, american racing rims

just noticed yours is a 98 mine is an 05.. did you get the bypasses on the front.. very nice kit

 

wow desratt that looks pretty sick! how does it handle off road? i wish mine was the new body style, but ill work with what i got. What do you have in the rear? With the 3.0 shocks are you still going to run just the coilover up front, the reason i wanted to stick with 14" up front is cuz im eventually gonna add a bypass shock up front to compliment the coilover...which should be plenty...anyways your truck looks awesome, if i hadnt just bought my 35's, id run 37's as well! i used fox shocks and bumpstops, are your kings the prerun series or race series?

 

right now i just have the coilover on the front, but the lower arms and shock hoop have the mounts for the bypass shock, so all i have to do is add it when i get some cash and move the steering arm to the front....wont be hard, freein up the money will be, but those will come after i get the rear in action.

got one fender on this afternoon! wooohhoooo, haha fitment is a PITA, but tomorrow when i get off work im gonna put in alot of hours, keep yall posted!

 

Looking good!

 

so the fenders are on, still need a few more screws to hold it in, but for the most part they are done....

 

Man, I am really looking forward to seeing the truck when you're done!

 

It's gonna be sweet!

 

i appreciate all the positive comments so far! i wish i coulda got the fenders alittle more inline but they really didnt want to fit. Still waiting on welding, if this goes on to much longer i will just have to find someone with a welding business to come do it for me, its really rediculous....front end will be back on tomorrow, minus front bumper, dont have that yet.

 

MMMMM MMMMMM TOASTY
