Thank ya


She will eventually be body dropped and sitting on her doors

SFBD or traditional?

I would do stock floor. But I'm biased because I wouldn't fit if it wasn't stock floored.

Curious, how come no one just mounts the axle above the frame, instead of a huge notch like that? Appearance?

Just a guess but I would think it would cause a lot of drivetrain issues.

If the axle is mounted above the frame
A) you would not be able to get any lift to get back to ride height
B) you would still have to notch the frame. Just the opposite direction to get to ride height
C) the suspension geometry would be a nightmare
D) B&C would make the entire idea behind it impossible.

Ride height? Suspension? I wasn't aware these trucks had any real suspension lol. this just confuses me.

If its setup correctly you can still yank around a pretty large trailer without issue. After all a class 8 rig uses the same principle

All it takes is a cantilever to put the chassis under the axle. Reverse four link for control. Chassis would still have to be notched like was already mentioned.

One of the cooler duallies I saw had a high mounted set of cantilevers with control rods made out of welded chains to mount to the axle.

Theres a guy around here that lowers trucks and has a lowered duramax dully that he uses to pull trailers around, notched frame and all.

Check out the little shop of horrors. They do it all the time.

Good work.

What kind of lift range will that give you?

Very cool project.

From my Not-So-Smart phone

With the bags used probably 7-8" of lift

Ride height will probably be set about 4" off the ground or so:rockwoot:

I know this isnt Layla but its the newest addition to the clan Itll help me if I need to throw Layla on a trailer I can use my own truck to yank her around

 

[Rustin]

I like the color of your first gen. Very clean truck!

 

[oldestof11]

Makes me miss mine.

 

[dodgecowboy]

That is a nice clean first gen!
