Default My 06 Silverado Long Travel Build

The truck is NO WHERE near done. I was just fired from the shop I was working on it in so I'm extremely limited. But it runs, works, and looks great.

I uploaded some of the pictures to the site. Here they are...

Before:


Now:










I'll post more of the truck during the build later. Let me know what you think!

Crap, because the link has "sh*t" in it and it's censored the pics won't come up and I can't delete the thread for some reason. Sorry. You can copy and paste the links, put in the right word and see the picture that way but my bad. Mods can't fix this?

Well, I still need to add the secondary shocks and the dual rates springs in the front. Deaver pack in the rear along with a bed cage and hopefully eventually four link it along with many other features, but funds have me strapped big time. I'm hoping I can even keep it.

Thanks, it took months of very hard work, blood and sweat to build it to where it's at now. I can't wait to take it out to the desert!!!!

Here's some new pictures:

Almost at full droop:



New dual rate springs:



I pulled the bedsides slightly to fit the tires.
-They went from this...

-To this...


And finally, some side shots:



I also cut a little bit out of the rear bedsides for clearance, I'll post those pics once I take them. Now I'm just waiting on rear shocks and this things gonna get dirty!!!!!!!
