My Little Project

Thanks. I've got about $4K in it so far and that's all parts. I'm pretty lucky to have a good friend who is letting me use his shop to fix up the truck. I wouldnt be able to pay someone to do all this work. I probably have over 150 hours in the truck so far, that is like $10K in labor at most shops and I've got lots more work to do. The labor is what adds up. Painting the truck will be expensive, I can't paint. LOL

 

Oh yeah, I'm gonna do as much body work as I can before it goes to the paint shop. Few gallons of Bondo, Ha!

 

The truck has the Flex Air Suspension, I wish it had low air leaf. I was able to modify the rear suspension and get another 4" of drop out of it. I fabricated two air bag lower mounting plates and took an inch off the base of the air bags. Luckily, the air bags extends up to 21" so they easily raise the rear of the frame to a safe operating level for driveline angles and drivability. I will post some pics of the lower plates I made and the shortened air bag base.

 

Before and After.

 

Thank you. Don't doubt yourself
