You may notice that the bodys not laying on the ground...its about 2" off it right now. I need to notch the frame for my lower arms and tie rods up front, cut down the cups and possibly tub the firewall slightly. I plan to roll the fender lips back and possibly swap in some djm spindels(I heard the belltech ones push it out 1/2") just to get a little more steering room at low psi.
Even with the entire bed floor and tubs raised 7" i will need to tub it to make room for those huge meats. Its resting on the inside wheel well right now. Oh well I was debating on tubbing and building a smooth sheetmetal bed anyways. Ill probably have to roll the fenderlips out back too...no biggie. Ive got about 1/2"-3/4" of room between my 4 link bars and my tires on the inside so i think i should be ok there too. Ill try and get some larger pics up in my gallary soon.

Next up is to tear it all down to the frame so i can finish the notching and get it all welded up, sandblasted/painted. Then its plumbing for the ls1 and brakes. :D

your truck is sweet dude....i usually don't like OBS escalade clips on trucks but yours looks pretty nice. Would look even better if you got a new clip :anitoof:

[Scream]

I'm diggin' it man! I really like the HD GMC bumper. :rocking:

[Steve]

thanks for the kind words guys!!! Its really nice to hear after all the hard work!

And they are well deserved on your part :D

I like the HD bumper on your truck, that was a nice touch :imo

[Scream]

You wouldn't happen to have a straight on front shot would you? Just curious to see how the HD bumper looks without the airdam.

[DirtyBlackHoe]

damn that is starting to look sick!

i dont have any good ones but this is the truck that gave me the idea:

Ive got lots planned for that bumper though. Im gunna section it so it tucks in with the fenders, paint it all to match and probably run some fogs or ram air ducts in there.

A cool thing ive been thinking about doing is running some old school butterfly intake type things in the bumper.
These butterflys ...only a single one on each side of the bumper.

Run a cable to them so when i step on the gas they open and close. I could paint them or put stickers on them to camoflauge them like foglights until they open up. Of course id run some tubing and air cleaners and directly into the motors intake.

[Scream]

Wow, that looks badass! Thanks!

[slowsierra93]

I dig it.:rocking:

Whats the backspacing on those? I want some 20s like those in the worst way.

[OrangeCrush]

haha thats a cool idea jimmy, id like to see that happen:bowtie:
