Great job... Outstanding look... NICE...

 

damn you know there is a trick to the rivets right?

Why didnt you take the bed off?

Time to lower the front now

 

what trick are you talking about??

i couldnt recruit anyone to help me lift the bed off lol....my friends are lazy.

yep if all works out the front should be done in a month or so.

X method is been well known for a while, all though ive never had the opportunity to try it out yet

 

looking good travis

how come you didnt grind the head off the rivet and just drill it out or use a punch?

eric i got some air tools if you need to borrow any

 

oh yeah thats basically what i did. ground the rivet flush with the frame and tried to punch the damn thing out. the passenger side wasnt that bad, just the drivers side one almost killed me lol.

my air hammer wasnt doing jack on them, i even heated the hell out of them AND soaked them with pb blaster lol.

 

i used a punch for the passengers side, and i couldnt get a dang drill bit to catch and actually start making a hole lol

the air hammer pretty much chipped away at the rivets tho

 

looks good man and will look even better with the front lower.

 

nice job on the hangers...



the front is too high now (but I like a lil' rake) time for at least an inch out of the front

 

thanks

i still need to pick up a camber kit before i do the front, but its coming along!

 

naaaaa.. u dont NEED a kit.. if u have someone compitant enough they can get it into spec.. i have 3 in drop springs no isos and the guy that did mine got mine into spec..truck drives straight... well did .. ball joints are shot now..

truck looks good.. i have the same rear setup but my leafs are so worn out it sits lower in the rear..

 

hmmm

i dont really know how good the shops around here are, the only places around here that do alignments that i can think of are NTB and Firestone..?

 

Looking great man... THe L wheels on there make it look so sexy...

 

Great job!

 

sexxxxy you need to slap on those L rims! I wonder how they look like in black...

I hope it ain't that hard to do as you made it seem.
I think I'll be doing just drop shackles for now.
