So I got the front fenders and lights mounted in the grille. For this I was able to order Izzy fabs inner fenders but only the outside “skin” I guess you could call it, that way it didn’t come with the fuse box mount or the expansion tank normally included. Due to the 40” tires and the 1” body...

Working on it😂 been working wayyyy too much but I took some vacation time with the plan on some of it being to clock in on the truck project!

So I was able to get the wheels and tires on and cycle the suspension and just threw a bedside on to get a slight teaser of where the truck is headed. So these specific bedsides are what dictated my wheel base, they are about 5” shorter than the crew can bedsides and designed around the idea...

Thank you dude! I think I’m on to the shock towers after my links come back from power coat so let’s see how that goes😅

Got these bolt on style bump stops mounted and I’m super stoked on it. I used some tabs offered by Vulcan motorsports out of Idaho that saved me a ton of time, I had to edit them a bit to make it work for my application but dang. It’s crazy how far times have come with this hobby and how many...

I’m going to step it up and release a book this spring😂

Those are super rad!! Im sure there’s a few other similar options out there. For me i I was just finding then where 1. They were going to force the coilover in the cab, or 2. They were putting the shocks too far back almost like a short course link would! Ideally im trying, key word trying...

Well we got some new trialing arms for the truck build. It’s one of the things that I don’t think gets brought up a lot is the ability of outside entities to postpone progress on your personal build. So now for the second set of trailing arms.. I was able to get Izzy fab to make me a set of...

Last night I messed around with the glass and through one of the tires on! From here it still has a lot of uptravel so the fenders are gonna require some trimming to accommodate for the 40” tires. But none the less I’m super stoked to kinda get a glimpse of what the truck is going to look like!

So this is for 10” shocks still, the difference isn’t the amount of travel, it’s where the travel is. So the plus side is the truck will have a couple inches more up travel. The downside is the packaging of the taller shock tower option requires a brake system relocation or hydroboost conversion.

I do believe that uptravel has been heavily kept in mind for this truck. I opted to Izzy fabs race kit that offers an optional taller set of shock towers, although packaging is much more difficult it allows a much higher up travel than all the other race kits on the market. Cab is also lowered...

I do actually have a build series on YouTube as well! https://youtu.be/TGob87N4c00?si=4CtsIrb1rvqzNUUp This is the link to the most recent video I posted on it!

Oh dang! I was able to look those up, feel like it’s kinda crazy I’ve never heard of them before. That definitely seems like it could be the best possible option! No clicks and they may work really well in conjunction with an IBP Coilover!

I have seen people do that too! The other possible benefit is if I went to a smoothie with the resi mounted like a normal bypass would be I could always add the tubes later, just buy the new bodies, at least I think that’s how it would work lol And I may run it as is with the single IBP for a...

I already have IBP Coilovers for the front and rear. I felt like it could be an advantage to just do IBP for the smoothies as well due to the added tuning capabilities. Trying to get the most I can I guess without having to listen to check valves click through the cab cage I guess. Would the...
