Figured I would share my thread

I built a frame already, well modified a stock one but have now decided against using it and wanted to build one from scatch and setup the suspension the way I want it.
So most of you have seen my truck go through its growth over the couple years, lowered 4wd 6.0, then I decided to swap to shock waves and get rid of the 4wd. Well 50miles later my transmission blew for the 4th time and I made a whole thread about that asshole.

April 2007

Well I made the decision to put it in the garage and build it to exactly what I wanted... which is where I stand now. I bought a 1999 RCSB for a daily drive, I own the black one so Im not building any credit there so this way I build a little credit and have a reliable truck. So the tear down begins...

A couple months have gone by and I have torn down my truck into every possible piece imaginable... I have decided that if Im going to do it, then Im going to do it right and do it ALL.

This truck I want to build to be simple and aggressive, my goal is to make it look like it was supposed to be like that, ie: instead of cups to space in a coil pocket, run a torsion setup so it looks like the truck was built for air.

Currently my plans are vaguely as followed...

From now till August 2008:
Build a full custom tube chassis
Shockwaves DA suspension, triangulated rear, srong arms
All front suspension moved up
Black frame, PowderCoated Chrome Suspension
