That's why I drink espresso :D
 
The list is like weeds...they keep coming up and I keep cutting 'em down :D.

The latest cross-off. Someday I'll get rid of the drawer carpet...that damn list again ;)

I also installed a 1" body lift. I was tired of bottoming the front tires into and tearing up the front fender liners. Required stretching the radiator mounts to lower as I didn't want to cut the shroud. It gives it a little different stance and look.

Next up is a suspension redo...parts ordered. More on that once its done.

Spresso - Please post some pics... Are you selling 1" BL kits now as well? What are you doing to fill the BL gaps? I'm still considering this and would like to have it all figured out before mounting my new bumpers.
 
Same here. I know I'll see it in person in June, but looking forward to exactly what you did. In fact, I thought it already had a body lift and that's why you re-did the sliders.

Truck looks good, as always.

There's nothing that can be done with regard to the Slee bumpers to raise them for a body lift (other than cutting and burning more steel :D). Yes I'm in the process of getting the kit together. Longer bolts and radiator bracket lowering is about it. I will supply the lowered radiator brackets for those that don't have cutting and welding ability.

And let me add if you adjust your front compression bump stops and/or run the Timbren bump stops ala what DesertRun posted you don't need 1" body lift: 12mm/1/2" works just fine with 35" tires without lowering the radiator, etc. And if you are running DT headers the plastic bellows apart of the steering shaft only has a few mm clearance to the header; so far that has not been an issue but I need more time with it.

I think I spot a shelf on the inside of that Slee...

Glad all of this R & D is paying off Dan.

Can't wait for June indeed to see the modification in person.

:cheers:

WE NEED HOT DRY DAYS!!!!!!!!!! But at least we know we'll be eating (OK and drinking a little :lol:) like kings huh?!
 
It was a test :D. You're the only one that passed :D

And thank you for your help!



If watching is helping, than your welcome. Its a bad ass shelf... especially the latch mechanism. As usual, nice job.
