If I say a daily driver for my gf would you believe me. I'd love to have a race truck. But it's going to be my everything truck.

Any info on suspension yet? I know a while back it was lifted.

Lift has been out for almost a year. He's running the same same setup I'll be running swapped out the 3 5/8" block out for the 1 7/8" block, stock front height so F250 stance. OUO weld on traction bars.

Suspension will be as follows

1 7/8" rear block, stock front coils, Rancho 9000 shocks, OUO weld on traction bars, RCD 4 link kit in the front. Think that should cover it, its still got to carry stuff and be able to tow so I can't go to crazy.

Well I got some time and worked on this beast some more. I got the new upper gate plumbed in, just need to weld the dump pipe into the down pipe. Big Thanks to Tadd and JD at Elite for making this piece for me, Guess Nathaniel welded it up but Thanks to them. With the upper gate not dumping to between the turbos I should be able to spray and run big injectors without having to much exhaust pressures. Here's a pic.

I also mounted up the big exhaust housing and it only needs a bit of modifications, so thats good. next order of business is building clamps for the twin fueler lines. more to come next week, maybe even more paint.

Looks good! Are you going to run another gate between stages or just cap that spot?

Going to cap it off. If I was going to gate between stages I'd need to route the pipes different.

Kinda what I figured, it was hard to tell for sure in a two-dimensional picture of a part I've never seen in person haha.

I'm pretty excited to see your results on this build. You should do a road-trip West and take me for a ride

LOL

Lol. I'm on the west coast already.

Heavyhaul · Apr 14, 2012

I see some welding in your future! Looking good.

Well hell... Northwest then LOL

Well short blocks done other than fuel rails and injectors. All that's left is the rear cover and flex plate. Twin fueler lines also need to be clamped down somehow. Here's some pics.

Also should have my RCD 4 link kit on Tuesday or Wednesday and hopefully get it in before my days off ends. Once it's in I get to find new shocks again, damn ranchos blew just like my bilsteins did. Any suggestions? Enjoy the pics.
