nah i havent been out there since i saw you out there.

But David did call me and told me about the new hole its been there for about 4 weeks or so. I geuss no body has made it though it yet, well not straight though it.

im gonna try to do it, with dual cases ill be a 6:1 ratio then the low gears in the axles will give me a good crawl ratio.

Thumbs down

Dude, your truck sux and this thread is stoopid!

Actually, I really do hate you. You're living my dream man. I'll be lucky if I can get away with a 4" - 6" lift on mine. Gotta be all responsible and crap...

Getting 'the look' and the attitude is oh so tiresome every time you bring home a new toy...

She's not quite a SWMBO, mostly a She Who Must Be Kept Placated.

Can't wait to see how it turns out!

I have been wondering for a while now how these people with really tall tall trucks like that 250 or what you want to do. Fill up that tank, i mean i have seen some where you would need a step ladder to fill. Looks like she'll be a fun mudder though.

Yeah man ive been wanting to do this since i bought the truck in 07. Trust me its taken some time for me to get everything together before ripping it apart. Im a single father with full custody so i dont have much time.NTM im only 21, Just take your time and it will be there before you know it.

Anyway guys i went to the shop today, forgot the camera but took some pictures with my cell phone now i just got to figure out how to upload them on the computer.

Ill tell you this the 17x40x16.5's look TINY!!!

i tried to do that it didnt work, PM me your number and ill send them to you.

Id really consider the Conquer Customs shop for the Ex lift. They do good work. Not sure on price but id give them a call see what they can do for you. I really dont think you will be happy with a 6.0 or 6.4 if you can find a used one with the 7.3 then thats what id do.

whats kind of t-case you looking for Trim ? Why can't a custom DS work for ya ?

I'm playing with the Sami driveshafts this weekend. Need to cut, hack, extend, and make custom flanges to work. Should be fun !
