Nice project man!

4.8's are great for boost! hint hint... lol

Sik color combos!

badass truck!

what upper and lower control arms are those?
Did they assist in the drop of the truck, if so, how much drop do those arms give?

Thx guys! Turbo maybe when it's all done and back knthe road awhile. Upper arms are stock 2500 arms with 1500 ball joints, just help the looks. My lowers are stock but have been modified for the bags. Ill post a better pic tonight.

looking good man!!!!!

Really dig the contrast of that copper/brown and the orange. Looks sick.

Drop control arms sometimes cause alignment problems because they kick the upper a couple inches higher than it should be... it really depends on how low your looking to go... usually anything over 5-6" and you start to have issues...

oh and i had to cut off the cruise bracket, which was ok cuz i deleted cruise control. dented in the h20 neck, trimmed the edge of cable guide and the truck TB fits with no rubbing.

Im sure nothing will work!!

Were did all the paint on the header go lol.

Are you going to have a problem with the headers hitting the ground when layed out. Does your truck have a traditional BD or stock floor BD. Im bagging and bodydropping my dually with a 6.0 and want to be sure im not going to crush the headers when layed out

I have a 3in stock floor. No they stay above the bottom of the frame. Its the pass side that is the problem with the hearder hitting the firewall. I had to beat it in a little to clear. its also very tight with the floor at the end of the header.

Im doing a stock floor aswell. truck looks killer by the way

Did installing those require any other kind of modification? It looks good by the way.

Thanks! Welding two holes and drilling new ones to fit the balljoint.
I got everything wired up and it turns over but won't start. Haven't tuned or flashed the PCM yet either I hope that's the cure.

Where did u get the idler bracket under the alternator? Truck looks sick and im loving that copper color on the block.

Thanks man it's a dirtydingo idler mount. Everything brown under hood is mat clear.

The truck looks awesome. Any more progress in the last few months?
I think I will copy your idea on using the 2500 uppers, they look so much better than the stamped 1500 ones.
Any specific year that you have to use?
I have also been on the fence about using the shoenfield headers due to clearance. If you could get any more pics I would love to see them.
I may do shorties on mine, but my cab is off so if the shoenfields work ill bolt them in before the cab goes back on.

Thanks man i hit a milestone today and drove it, well out the garage and back in. The headers fit great even with a 3in bodydrop, its just getting them in thats hard.If your cabs off do it then and build exhaust also. just easier.

the tube coming from the alt bracket is what hides the extended MAF 5wires and runs below into the air box.

Here it is all painted up and driving. Now that its drives i can get all those wires cleaned up and ran inside the cab.
