04 Dodge Ram....a little at a time..

we are going to wait to Z it till next winter but, we are going to go ahead and trim some more to make up for the extra 2"s

weak. Z'ing it is like a 3 hour deal & makes such a huge difference IMO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;New battery box&nbsp;Going to do something similar on the other side for the compresseors&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;four link tacked up&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;had to go have 2 new top pieces made for the notch

&nbsp;Notch tacked in.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;front end back together..&nbsp; still have to take the bumper back off to mount the compressor

Do your 2 inch Z...then drop the motor back down an inch or so...When I rebuilt my front crossmembers I only raised&nbsp;my tranny mount and motor 3/4 inches...that put the tranny pan and oil pan 1/4 off the ground...I drug the piss outta it and never had a single problem. That will give you more room...I know Adam made drop motor mounts for his...put on my truck you could just elongate the motor mounts and drop it down. Knowing Dodge...the 5.9 and the 4.7 frames are the same...just the motor mounts are different. Id look into dropping the motor back down after the Z...I drop the motor on every truck that I Z or BD...to minimize how much I have to cut the tranny tunnel.

&nbsp;next on the chopping block

got the notch put in.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;been working on the watts link the last couple of days and we think we have it figured out.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;also, got some goodies in&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
