well i bought a new bed for my truck and a set of fenders and decided to repaint the old girl. tore it all down two weeks ago just left the cab on the frame everything else cam off. worked 8 days straight on it between 8-12 hrs a day but got it all done finally. now im on the process of getting stuff around to build my 8 inch long arm lift kit. just put 4k govenor springs in it and awaiting my new injectors to come in ;D so when it comes out of the barn it will run alot better and will be a little bigger. going to be putting 38inch mickey thompson fcII tires on it on 16x12 dick cepek dc2 aluminum rims. here is a pic of it all painted with some rollers on it. picture makes it look like itspewter but its actaully black and silver on the bottom. will post more pics when i get some
Looks good...Worth the effort!
looks good! it should run sweet! if u ever wanted to put twin turbo's on it let me know, my buddy can build the kit for that
looking really good man! keep it up! cant wait to see pics of it done.
all it will be missing now is stacks
looks good..... nice dodge
got the tubing and got the long arms built today just waiting for my johnny joints to get here and i built my brackets that will bolt on to my frame under my door. now just have to wait for the joints to come in so i can put it all on now. gonna build a new crossmember tomorrow for the trans and t case and a clocking ring so i can drop my t case down a little. should be done by next weekend. have stacks that were on my other cummins but i am building a dual exhaust set up for it running them out at an angle behind the tires
sweet! is this gonna be a dd?
ya its my dd. parts should be here middle of next week then gonna get the back springs re arched and put it all together.
got my clocking ring made today so my front driveshaft angle isnt so steep and going to be making a new crossmember and skid plate tomorrow for the trans/t-case. will post some pics of them when i get them all done

Stacks are so over done.... please dont.
got johnny joints in and i built a new cross member my clocking ring worked out good so the front drive shaft angle isnt bad at all now. mounts are all bolted to the frame now just have to build trac bar for the front and lift the rear. gonna take it all of tomorrow and paint everything. the tires on it are some 315s i have got my 38s to put on it. bumper height with the 315s is 32 inches right now
Sweet Cummins project! Damn nice fab-work on them long arm brackets too. I would like to see this truck in person. I have a 6" about to go in mine, and I'd like to make it a long arm later on maybe.
bad ass truck, you can deliver it to my house when done lol
truck will be one this week some time. painted all the arms and brackets i made today with chasis paint. gonna be putting it all on tomorrow. then just have to lift the back of the truck and gonna paint the frame. still have to build my back bumper yet but will be driving it this by this weekend for sure.
Look-in good applaudd
took it out for her maiden voyage tonight. rides really good. very happy with the results. will post pics of it tomorrow
wanna build another set of brackets n arms? lol if so how much
the joints and tubing isnt cheap so ill have to get a price on all the materials plus figure in time and ill let you know a price. how much of a lift do you have now or what r your plans with the truck?
here are a couple pics of it all done. got my towing mirrors and smoked cab lights on it today. turned out pretty good. drives really nice. glad its done and i can drive the old girl around.

8" lift dd/weekend wheeler gonna be gettin a set of d60s im gonna swap in for the half tons
wow that truck is bad ass, i have a 1500 with a 6 inch bds lift that i want to lift more, i also have a cummins that is all tuned up lil over 450 hp. that i want to lift also, sweet truck does it roal any coal, is it a 24 valve cuz if it is i know a trick that will get it to roal alot more smoke
wow nice fab work!!!!!!
==kp Nice dodgee
nope its a 12 valve. just have govenor springs in it now 0 fuel plate and built tranny with tripple disk converter billet shafts shift kit ect. s&b intake. got delivery valves for it and injectors are coming. gonna be putiing twin on it this summer prob. want to build a new motor and put quick spool cam in it fire ring and stud it and balance the entire motor. thats next. well if anybody wants me to build them long arm brackets or whatever let me know. i also made new crossmember due to transfer case being re clocked and hitting the old one. if you do 8" lift u really need to clock the t case down for less of a driveshaft angle. i made clocking ring to. so let me know if your serious and ill get prices for stuff
Nice job. Good lookin' truck.

thats 1 bad azz dodge
thats one nice lookin cummins though personally i would have put on the stacks but hey thats just me either way still one bad azz truck

i own three cummins and not one of them has stacks, only certain trucks can pull them off. i would just put a 5 inch MBRP turbo back exhaust on it. got one on my 01 and its not quite haha
