I have 4 1/2" suspension lift on the front of my truck.
I made pretty much everything there.
Only bought item was the Cepek Long Arm kit.
It was about the same cost to build as buy, so took the easy way there.
Made and welded a drop bracket for a 3rd gen track bar.
Also changed the location on the axle to keep in line with the drag link.
Cut, bent, and threaded the tubing for crossover steering with heim joints.
Enough to clear a Mag-Hytec Dana 70 cover.
Welded new coil buckets to axle and raised them 2".
Also welded 1/4" thick plate to all axle mount points.
Made a bushing for the steering gear box.
It's made from brass, has an o-ring, and a grease fitting.
Holds the sector shaft nice and tight.
Just visible in the top of the picture.
The track bar and drag link are the same length and have the same drop.
No bumpsteer, and no steering stablizer needed with 37" tires.
Just went to 38.5" tires, and may need one with those.

I made, back in 94, a 2" body lift out of 2" x 4" x 1/4" thick steel tubing.
Made a 2" spacer then also for the coils.
At that time, 94, not a lift kit made.
I ran 37" H1 Hummer tires, Goodyear GS-A.
Lots more, but enough for now.

todays item

 

Keep em comin' guys, I knew there was some damn good stuff being made but I'm impressed!

 

Yah know this pic is old... stock turbo HA!

 

Well I got tired of my redneck gauge mount in the truck that I had to do something about it. Nobody makes a gauge pod that hold 2 5/8" gauges so it would have to be a homemade custom remedy.

Before- 3 gauges bolts to the dash with a piece of "custom" cut angle


So i did some highly skilled and technical planning/drawings to layout what i wanted.

 

And here is what I have so far. It needs another very light skim coat of body filler to take care of some of the real small holes, a little more sanding that I couldn't see it needed until the primer was on there.

 

Well lets see, just about everything is custom by me!!! And if I cant figure out how to do it, I call up my buddy trey and it may as well be done already.

Multi function stick, and CB mount


Stacks, on a buddy's truck but mine are exactly the same



Edge Comp Mount


The light in my toolbox



And thats all the pics I got for now. I'm thinking about some traction bars but gotta find the time to get er done.

 

im definitely gonna add a light in my toolbox

 

I couldnt wait or afford a "Swanker" so i built my own.

Coolest thing: its actually made out of a intercooler tube out of a blown 6.0. Cut out the bends and welded em back together.

oh, its yellow cuz my batteries were also yellow, matched pretty good.

 

You guys have some pretty good ideas. The best I've done is build a few sets of twins. I'll try and get some pics up, but not sure where they're at. The hard drive went out on my lap top again and I dont know if I've got pics anywhere.
