1997 Crew Cab dually project

I bought this a few months back. Right now its got ART lowers and Bell Tech spindles up front with RE-7s. In the rear my buddy at TracTractor Offroad put together a 4 link with panhard bar with RE-8s.

The front doesnt lay out yet, I just need to spend some time on it, which I cant find enough of. The rear lays after some exhaust work and moving the gas tank up an inch.

Im "over body dropping" the bed to hide everything, and dont have it done yet, but I wanted to drive it, so on went the trailer lights. I just got back from a 2 hour trip to the 3 day show in washington, and it drove great. Not bad for its second time out of the shop. Oh, and i'm rocking the 16" steelies until a bangin deal on some 16" alcoas or maybe some 19's. but I cant bring myself to want to afford 22's.

I'll just post the update pics on my streetsource page. I just uploaded some of it taken at the wrecking yard where Im building it, so they probly wont post up there until monday or so.

nice truck,
did you have to cut the frame "brows" to clear for the air bags up front?

damn looks good get the 22's there are some for sale in the parts department

22,s do it do it

Cool truck. I am not to far from you, in St Helens. I also bought a crew cab dually on 2/19. good to see someone else on here from this area. Maybe I'll see ya around

looks nice bush maybe we can meet up at drop zone this year
skidrow said he was going to have his dually down there this year also

The ART kit that I put in up front had cups tall enough that I didnt have to clearance the spring pocket. And since my goal was just to get it on the road, I left that well enough alone for the time being. When Im done with the bed and start cutting on the front, Im sure the pockets will have to be cut a bit.

And I want a 4 wheeler before I get 22's. Being they are the same price and all lol.

Forrest, I have a couple buddies that live in your neck of the woods, they make veggie oil conversion kits for superduty ford diesels, and have all the goodies to wire up my valves with nice water tight connectors, so i'll be out in your direction in the next week or so to do that, so keep your eyes open. (damn thats a long sentence)

and pig, Im gonna be at DZ thurs at noon so I can make sure to get the spot for my club to camp that we want, so whenever you get there, just head to the back left corner. Or maybe I'll bump in to you at the Visions show?

I posted a few updated pics on the ol streetsource profile. Check em out.

whatis holding your front from laying out. you have to trim the upper and lower cups to make it lay and will defi. have to trim the frame brow or you will end up with a blown bag before to long... i have 3 inch drop spindels on mine and 225/60/16 and mine lays hard like a mofo and still have air in the bags when i lay all the way out... you may also have to trim the lower control arm bracket where it bolts to the frame i had to trim mine up to make it come on down.... just a few helpful hints. trucks looks good.. and get the semi;s you wont regret it i am getting some for mine found me a hella deal on some all 6 22's with brand new rubber adapters and lug and caps for just over 2.000 , have less than 500 on the tires and wheels are brand new..

bush what's up you haven't been on here in some time but I see you went back to the darkside (ssm)
