Could you do a quickie write up of the process as you go? How are you figuring all of your angles etc. I have read some write ups/articles and they all say it is very hard to do "right"

did alot of talking today and had a change of plans...went with a 2 inch king air shock insted of the quarter elip....shocks should be in by the end of the week
i was about to pm you and ask you what your opinion was but the guys over at downsouthmotorsports.com basically anwsered all my questions...they said since i had lost so much weight id be fine with the 2.0s
Yep, that's pretty much the only thing with air shocks; they can't hold a lot of weight.
The rear of your truck should be light enough.
When's the ETA for a trail run?
hopefully gonna make a run up at raush at the end of febuary then harlan ky for about 4 days in june...

like that
Here's todays progress.
1410's all around .
We got the rear shaft cut down and installed as well.
Bye-bye floor pan.
Drake got the belly pan cut out.
A little test fittin.
Finished product.
Inside the cab.
I'm sure that it looks super short to some people but this is all we cut out of the frame.
If everything goes as planned we should have the propane on tommorow.
