I've been working on slowly collecting parts to go ultimate duals. I plan on running marlins 30-spline chromoly front and rear output shafts and competition chromoly 4.7 gear. so far i have the front output.

Love the build and the Porsche wheels on the 02 are going to be SICK! Had to come scope the racelines on to see how they look...Cant wait to get mine on

[daniresch]

Thanks for the compliments, here is a very small update. I color matched my beadlock rings over a month ago just never posted a picture and raised my front end about 1inch to be level with the rear, and allow for more up travel.

Marlin shift knob and the triples

and for fun

Got an alignment yesterday since i started noticing my tires were showing inside edge wear, the toe ended up being way off. I should of went in sooner. Hope these tires last me a long time 

[spc mike]

who did your alignment?

[OldGold3VZE]

Keep an old set of rims on hand.  Jack your truck up and mount the rims (no tires) to the front hubs.  Measure from rim to rim on the front side and then the back side of the wheels.  Proper toe-in should be 1/16" to 1/8" closer on the front vs. the rear.  Now you have free alignments for life!  I did the same move with my first build, so anxious to get driving that I just skipped the alignment and wore through some tires!

Pace-way frame and axle, its on River rd. Right by TV highway

This is how i did it before. But It was only $48 and took them 20min. They printed off the before and after measurements so i can see the work was done. my tires cost over 2200 for a set so I really want to know it was done right...

Bobbed my short bed today 7inches, here's a couple pictures during the process. i'll have final shots up tomorrow, came out great!

[Peterbuilt84]

Interesting. I've been trying to figure out how much I want to bob out of mine. Excited to see finished pics!

[83 Crawler]

Wow about time!! Lol

[daniresch]

I originally thought 5, then 6 which is what I had taped out. Last minute I decided to go 7. I'll have final pictures up tomorrow evening.

[daniresch]

Wow about time!! Lol
