thse pics really suck so bare with me. this is the trimmed lower part of the bed and the GM springs dangling

D60 (still ugly). :D

frame insert for rear shackle(back side). as of now, the truck is sitting on all 4(brakes). i'm getting wheels saturday and gonna mount the tires so i can roll it outside and wire brush, pressure wash and paint the undercarriage. i'll get more pictures after this weekend, then its on to the trans and t-cases. :D

nice, but MORE PICS!!!

ok, you asked for it.:D

this is the outside of the frame where the shackle mounts

front hanger for the rear springs. there is a piece of 3/8" strap on the inside to brace the frame from colapsing. ;)

front view. there's weight on the front suspension. it flatened the springs out some. there 6" superlift with the bottom leaf removed and a 6" long shackle.

and here's the office so far. gotta scrub it up and do the rhino coat. notice there's 3 pedals now? waiting on the input shaft retainer from six states for the 435.:D

Do you know if there is a way to use a hydrolic clutch off of another car and adapt it to the power wagon?

Garrett

hydraulic came stock in our body style i think 91-93? i was looking into it but the stock type linkage has always worked for me, and if it fails, get out the welder and its fixed. ;)

just wondering because i am parting out a 92 stealth with a pretty nice clutch to it.. just wondering if you wanted a deal on a hydro clutch ;)

Awesome. Looking good man! The Dodge board hasn't had this much activity in years. :flipoff2:

Got any more pics?

How much lift are the 63" springs going to give you in the rear?

I'll try to get some update pics of mine this weekend.

Ryan

ROCK ON FULLSIZE!!! :D

not sure the amount of lift yet. going under the frame with these springs should give me 5" lift over the stock springs with the factory blocks.:D i made the shackles front and rear extra long so i could cut them down if neccessary to "tune" the lift so it sits properly.:D

THANKS KDIO!!:beer:

Looking nice,lol
what size boggers

39's. wanted to keep the breakage factor down, plus i got a pretty good deal.:D

got any pics of the whole truck?

Garrett

Looking good FULLSIZE! Can't wait 'till you get it done to go wheelin'. Are you going to bob the bed?

slowly but surely i'll bob the bed, one rock at a time :flipoff2:

no pics of the whole thing, i'll have some after the weekend when its on all 4 ;)

you know, i think that your actually gonna finish yours before mine.. ha ha ha

Garrett

................i dont know, the wifes starting to lose her patients with the bank transactions that keep "showing up":D

Why wouldn't you Bob it? It doesn't cost hardly anything and it helps alot on departure angle.

i still plan to use my truck as a truck and not just a purpose built trail rig. i want to be able to fit my cherry picker in it as well as other harder to carry items. i'm just drawing the line at cuttin the fenderwells and lower part of the bed. if i hate the end of the bed that much after i get it out on the trail, i can bob it later.:D

I understand know......... Do you like mud?

nope. but the dodge will be able to do mud. i hate cleaning up afterward. i mostly do rocks. that snow run was my first real snow run, haven't been on a second one yet. is your rig up and running? i should have the dodge goin sometime in january.:D

:cool: That thing is sweet. When you get done with yours, you can come up here and shorten the wheel base on my Ram and build me a flat bed :flipoff2: Where do you do most of your wheeling?

in the sierra's mostly. rubicon, fordyce creek trail, some local rock gardens and a local river bottom that has anything from rocks to hill climbs to high speed flats. next winter i'd like to take a week off to go to the hammers and maybe arizona. that'd be nice :D
