with the superduty leafs and front shackle it moved the front diff back 1" from stock but thats ok as already to far forward for the fenders so it kinda works

ya kinda lucked out with the wheelbase as was more about fitting the body to the frame then trying to get a target wheelbase. pretty sure the last truck was right around the 117 and it worked well for our wheeling

got my fan mounted up, its for a 10-14 crown vic



heater installed and was able to hook it up to the stock vents in the dash so will have defrost

What heater is that? Princess Auto Special?

2 weeks since an update, and you can't even use the "I was getting married" excuse.

to busy being heart broken over my marriage being a sham........

will be back at it this weekend

not much for an update but got the front suspension done. was able to use the stock upper mounts and welded new lower mounts to the diff instead of the ubolt plate. added some C channel on the frame for the bump stops to hit, even if i dont think i will be able to flatten the springs enough to actually hit them

In my experience bumpstops are always a good idea. When you think there's no way you're going to compress the suspension that much, well, that's when you definitely will do so with extreme force.

got some small jobs done this weekend, nothing worth taking pics of but did get a battery mounted up. wasnt able to fit the stock battery tray under the hood anymore so used the stock tray and mounted it in the box. modified it to fit a group 31 yellow top





mounted up some 7" lightforce lights for headlights
