Well I am moved into my new place so I should be able to start on my truck here soon. I got my McGaughys drop spindles today and my tires are in at Discount Tire. I guess I have everything to do the front now. For the back I still need to drop off the 6 link at a powdercoater and get another set of bags from Doug.

Ok here is some updates. I will try to get pictures up soon since I now have internet at home. I got my 22's on the truck and I also got my gauge pillar pod. My air tank and 6 link is at powercoating. Its just going to be gloss black. I dont want anything too flashy. This weekend the wife says I can have some time to bag the front so hopefully I can get that done.

Nice Paul. Are they doing gloss black with a clear coat or just gloss black? I did my axle housing in gray with a clear coat and it looks amazing.

UPDATE!!! I spent a few weekends working on bagging the front. I just worked on and off on it when I had a chance. I had a hell of a time seperating the lower ball joints from the spindles. I read on full size chevy forum that the new body styles are a real pain. I decided to mount the tank in the bed instead of under it because it looks like I can keep a spare tire under there since the links all mount on the outside of the frame. I got my 6 link back from powdercoat and it looks real good. I'm not sure when I will get to the back because I will need help taking the bed off. I would like to have it done for the Sittin Pretti show.    |

Very nice Paul, do you have anyone to help you take the bed off, besides me? Because I don't really want to pull that off just the 2 of us. My Mazda bed was heavy enough.

Finnaly had a weekend to do the rear. I would have finished it up but I dont think I have the right mount for my panhard bar. The instructions show a totally different looking mount and I cant figure out how to use the one that came with the kit. I wrote KP to find out what to do. The rest of the install was pretty easy though. I went and bought the bolts for the bags so they are all the way installed now too.   |

shit son i take my bed on and off by myself...do work get that bracket on there. you better have this thing layed out by sittin pretti. a notch for 22s to fit the axle prefect against the bottom of it will only stick through your bed 1 1/2 inches. very minimal. and the tubs for them are very small too. heres my buddys dustins truck that i just finished baggin. his tires are 29" tall same as yours. his notch is 2" through the bed because its boa and i needed the extra notch for the bag moutn it was pretty close. setup to lay a 30" tire       dont forget to raise the tank too while your under there. |

HAH...I was wondering how long it would take you to find out I'm neck-deep in a couple things right now, but I might have some time next week... |
