Frame time, what a chore this beast is/was. We fitted the subframe and drilled all necessary holes for that early last week. Then the welders came out to start filling the insane amount of holes, the larger holes had to get plugged with metal slabs ground to fit each hole. After that hours and hours of grinding, filling, sanding, refilling, sanding, priming, sanding, final body work filling and then paint.

Have you priced a run of the mill icon lift lately. Say 6"...

You obviously don't know what these quality big lifts cost....I'd say he made out pretty good at 20k....depending on shock options, etc.
Trevor is looking out for us on the lift, we will be representing his company in their booth at sema. With that said between all the paint work, accuair, compressors, shocks, air tanks and the actual lift itself from PMF it cost enough. Some people don't/can't grasp the price of quality products but when you see these parts in person the last thing I think of is how much I owe someone. All I can think of is the time, thought and talent put into every piece that shows up. Tomorrow the link arms, trailing arms and shock mounts show, can't wait.
:nopics:,
Getting after it,
Spare tire carrier cut out to make room for a few air tanks,
I wish I could say this was ready for the final paint, we primed it after all the body work and blocked the rails with 320. Random pin holes throughout the frame were filled again and sanded back down. Ready for paint!

Hey Jordan. Have a question concerning the cab....
The ugly lip where the body is seemed together just below the lower door plates. Did you guys do anything with them? I might have missed it, I've been trying to follow the every move. I know amp steps hide the seem...
Just curious.

amp steps do not hide the seam.

Are you talking about the pinch welds? I was wondering the same thing, but I do realize that's where the amp steps mount also.
PMF makes these covers that cover up the pinch welds.

Obviously....:blah:
I'm by no means trying to downplay any work by the op, by PMF, or the rest. Imo PMF is one of the more reasonably priced companies. All I'm saying is, if people are willing to pay 20k for a suspension kit, I'm in the wrong business.
Your talking about the pinch? I did think about welding the holes shut and body working the seam but time is our worst enemy right now. We'll probably have PMF Suspension draw some pinch weld covers up if he hasn't made some already.
Don't worry about it, it costs what it costs I guess.

I do have a question and I'm not sure if it has or hasn't been asked.......but I'm gonna ask again if it has, so my apologizes Jordan
But if you were going to go to this extreme extent with the truck and change so many things, why not start off with a lower model XLT or base model XL instead of the top of line Platinum?

Because the VIN number would suck.
