UC thread of my 84 b2000 *update 10/8*

ok so finaly got gas for the welder, and a sawzal to work with, so gonna get some stuff done today, ill post pics tonight so you can all see some progress

sweet, what you gonna do with the gas tank? i relocated mine because of how tall of a tire im gonna run

im not sure yet, ill cross that road when i get there. what size bags are you using with how small of tire you have, im gonna be running 70 series white walls and it looks like at full lift my frame is gonna be 7 inches off the ground, you looke like you get way more than that..

progress for the night. only got my lower link bars done because we were having welder problems, the tig part diddnt work. so we said fuck it and stick welded it. heres some pics





how you like those welds..... prety fuckin good for stick

you took the words righ toutta my mouth
them some clean azz welds for a stick you gots mad skill yo!

that driveshaft is gonna smack that crossmember yo

yes the bigger the tire you run the better, our trucks are geared so low running low pros isnt good for it so ima put some 55 series back on mine, my truck is bag over axle and i get roughly 8" of lift i could get more if i move my top bag mounts down, i just wanted to make sure it would lay hard and it definatly does when my bag is complete aired out it doesnt overlap itself so i got a good 2 more " of lift waiting to happen if i want to

yeah i know man, it runs like right where the drive shaft needs to go. what im gonna do is cut a section out of the middle and run braces up to the upper link bars crossmember and then put a loop on that as well so the driveshaft will be clear in its full range of motion

i was kinda guessing you was gonna do that, make sure you make a big loop cause running big tires u will need that clearance, might have to cut into the bed a little bit, what i did was notch mine layed whole truck out, mached up a loop with cardboard that way i knew it wouldnt hit. also if you plan on draggin it make sure to give urself 1-2" of clearance from the loop and the shaft

Just started to run my bar's up like that too man. I think it's a lot easier than playing around with angles and so fourth.

Lovin this build already!
