Got five guys down from Grandrapids and we are putting a lift in Jonny's Daily driver. Pics coming.

Should be quite a task to get it done in one day, hope everything goes smoothly for ya'.

Next big project I do, I'm gonna set up my laptop and webcam and take time lapse photos. Always thought that would be pretty cool.

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/superdirty_photos/Jonnys03007.jpgNice safety glass's :poke:, maybe you have to lose an eye to get a clue :poke:

[SuperDirty]

Thanks for the advise buddy

[jaysjunk]

Thanks for the advise buddyI have only 1 eye and would hate for anyone to have to experience it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! had a plastic cooling explode at about 5000rpm's Fawked me up good, and no I wasn't wearing safety glasses . live and learn !!!!!! the hard way ;)

[mudtrux]

I have only 1 eye and would hate for anyone to have to experience it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I've had his fake eye in my hand, kinda cool and gross in the same moment

[MR. DODGE]

what kind of meats are going on that truck?

[SuperDirty]

Nitto mud grapplers on black moto metal wheels very bad ass!! Would be even cooler if the had showed up in time for the install we had to borrow a set of rims and tires from our good friends at Ken's Auto repair and sales in Ramsey(Ken's 4X4) thanks Dave!!

[SuperDirty]

The most time consuming thing seems to be the FAWKIN diff mods and the pizza break

[donnyonit]

was a straight axle conversion ever a thought? if i was to lift an ifs truck i would for sure go the straight axle route. just was wondering. cant wait to see how you guys ended up for the day! oh ya the eye thing aint no joke. was plasma cutting with safety glasses on and a piece got blown off the material at just the right angle hit my cheek went right under my safety glasses. burned my cornea, it healed in a day or two but was very painful and was lucky that's all that happened. safety shield or goggles for this guy!

[SuperDirty]

No sas cause its a street truck just want it to look gooder!!

[Rumours]

that looks like a 6volt sawzall

[donnyonit]

i was thinking more like 1 volt lol!

WTF Ron,Working in the bosses shop on the weekend.You got all them nices tools around you and your using a f#cking hack saw......You HACK....LOL

[Rumours]

hay Dave its hard to change what your good atjk

[SuperDirty]

Some fawker took the charger home for the sawzall and no one knows where it is trust me not my weapon of choice!!!

[SuperDirty]

hay Dave its hard to change what your good atjk

you must be talking about my mad web wheelin skills!! Thats mostly what i'm doing while everyone else works Hehe

[SuperDirty]

Thanks for sharing! That seriously sucks having to improvise. What did you use for the bars, did you find a tool? Ive used an otc C clamp for ball joints and it works but it’s a crap shoot on when its going to be the time it jumps and ouch.
What all has to be hacked for the install?


Mounts need to be removed from the diff. and frame. after you remove the spindles if you just pry down on the control arm it relieves all the pressure off of the torsion bars it was really easy. there is alwasy a certain amount of hacking involved with "bolt on" kits BTW it's a snap on Hack saw if that makes a difference.

No relocation bracket provided for rear brake line WTF!!! No biggie I guess just need to make something quick. Looks like the exaust may hit a shock too YAY!

[onlydriveagm]

i got an 07 2500hd classic (gas), i see the truck your doing is a half ton, would it be the same or are there a lot of differences in lifting the 1500 and the 2500? im planing on putting a 6 in lift on mine but was thinking of doing with a supercharger first

[SuperDirty]

I'm sure the proceedure is about the same. We are just about done had to heat the exaust up and bend it.

[SuperDirty]

All righty we are finished

I know but I haven't done a build thread in awhile and I thought it would be fun. It was a good time We got it aligned yesturday and all is well. They did have to stop in garisson and remove some plastic from the front Bumper that made contact and came loose.
