:woot: except for the pneumonia thing
 
Been a while! :thumb:

I hate pneumonia, ive gotten it quite a few times. :doah:
 
better get to crushing some cars!

Keeping the 6.2/700r4 in it?

6.2 yes, not sure on the 700R4.

I have some options,

TH400/NP205

4L80E/NP205

4L80E/NV241

sm465/NP205

TH400/NV241

SM465/NP208

700R4/NP203/NP205 Doubler

SM465/NP203/NP205 Doubler.



Or I could build a 241/205 doubler to go behind a 700R4 or a SM465/Th400/4L80E
 
So as it sits now It has a 2" Body lift, 4" lift 56" in front, 4" 56" in back with a ORD shackle flip in the rear. Ruffstuff simple swap for rockwells . no blocks or zero rates. overloads still in place. my front shackle angle is a bit to shallow but it has crazy droop!!!!!! I may try a set of 52" fronts or possibly just link the front.

In the rear my shackle is almost straight up and down so I'm gonna move it forward about an inch and get some DIY4X 7" USDR shackles to get my 45 degree angle in the rear and still maintain my ride height I have now as it sits perfectly level.

Bump stops will be set to keep the springs from going reverse arch and to keep that big rockwell center section from hitting the frame. as it looks right now I should be able to get about 4" up travel and about 12-14" down in the front . Not sure what the rear is gonna be until I redo the shackle hanger and longer shackle but it should be close to what the front is.

Steering is gonna be major expense on this project, I wanna do it right but I also don't really want to spend 2000.00 on PSC components ,so that will probably be the major hold up in this project. as I'm a cheap ass and have a pile off other money suck projects and sled season is coming up quick .

Body Mods, some extensive trimming and new rockers made from rectangular tube and fixing some rust in the rear tail pan area .

Interior, gonna stay stock mostly gonna ditch the carpet and bedliner it . Good sized power inverter , VHF and CB radio mounts and a simple stereo that will play my Ipod . would also like to make a laptop mount .

Anyways, new updates will be slow coming as I decided not to rush this and build the way I want with no compromises.
 
A TH400, or the SM465, with the 203/205 doubler would be nice for keeping it simple yet tough.

Is the doubler needed for what you guys go up there?
