trucks going under the knife

[crabbelle]

got some more pics, couldnt get the front adapters on so i ran the dually wheels backs to get out of the shop. i havent dropped the front yet. im hope removing the ac condensor allows a little more cold on the intercooler

 

[crabbelle]

heres an update, got a helix2 cam in, ported oringed head and started on the twins. also got the frontend down 2-3" inches

 

[CarolineCummins]

Its lookin good man keep up the good work!

 

[mikeb273]

both, i got 4" drop hangers and shackles plus i pulled the main leaf

Who makes these parts? And what did you do to lower the front? I have a dually that i am wanting to lower and i have no idea what is available. Thanks

You should have been polishing the frame and forks on that XB9R over the winter, or maybe a 1050 kit....

Anyway BOT....

Truck is looking good, keep after it.... I love a nice down low, and FUNCTIONAL dually.....

i used a bell tech lowering kit, springs in the front and shackles/hangers in the back. got my gauges ran last night

 

[SWALLDOG]

the gauge set up looks sweet man. :rockwoot:

Gauges look good. I guess thats one of the nice things about having the square dashes from the 94-97's. I think I could only fit about 3 gauges where my vents are in the 98's.

 

[crabbelle]

got my new backseats in. they came out of an 03 2500

i have to ask whats up with the huge chin spoiler

 

[crabbelle]

its off now, but when it was on it cut down the undercarriage drag

 

[D Twigg]

look's real good man.

 

[crabbelle]

heres a quick picture of the finished project. i can tell you one thing ill never do it again

 

[tony597fitter]

Hows the rear seats working out?
What year are they out of and how did you mount them.

Truck looks good BTW!

 

[crabbelle]

took some one inch channel cut it on an angle on one side so it fit snug on the cab floor and then just bolted the back down. when i go to redo my carpets im going to weld the front down. there out of an 05 i think

 

[tony597fitter]

Is there enough headroom for an average sized adult to sit back there?

 

[mikmaze]

looks good man, too bad I didn't check in with ya this year, was down in MD for that party last weekend.... looks like you spent a lot of time on it and finally paid off.

yeah my buddy sat back there the other day and he is 6'5". i would do it for a long ride but for going out its not bad

 

[crabbelle]
