Re: Rockstar V2.0

Lots of work to do filling holes or new floor panels. May cut out a box floor out of a full sized fseries to go along with extended wheel wells. Armed with my LMC catalog, I got to hit up the Al Quida body shop supply store as Habib seems to beat everyone regardless.

Other decision is how to level it all out. I would prefer not to have notches inside the interior compartment for shock or coil mounts so was thinkin raise the back end to clear and adjust front to compensate but keep it as low as possible. At current ride height, and a flat floor I can fit a 38" wide bench seat for the passengers yet their legs will have to adjust for the shock mounts. Yet top of the box sits at 59" on 42s. I happy with that.

Loving the fact I can most likely do a 2 into 1 exhaust via front of the trans pan then follow the inside of the frame on passenger side Til it dumps out the side. All instead of the custom fender well headers and route down the outside of the frame. This all allows me to do the rocker mods.

Re: Rockstar V2.0

Coil height compared to body lift. Needs to come down a notch thus raising the body slightly.

Re: Rockstar V2.0

Existing ride height, I happy I wont be hearing my front or back bumpers wont have much of a chance to hit rocks with almost 85* angles. Rear gonna get a fullsized spare hangin off the back though.

Passenger side exhaust clearance with a C6/doubler box/205. All will be protected by a UHMV lined skidplate.

Re: Rockstar V2.0

Are you still running the black box and c6? How do you like it with the auto? When you get a chance, what is the measurement from front of trans to center of rear output on 205. Nice work. Keep the progress up.

Re: Rockstar V2.0

Havent ran it with this combo yet, gonna be a totally new learning curve from only having a 2 speed tcase.

46.75" with the shortest C6 possible, I think I got.

Re: Rockstar V2.0

Now that's what I'm talking about. Great pics. Are you staying full width? My shocks ended up in my bed, but I was bronco width.

Re: Rockstar V2.0

Yes DiLo, fullwidth, probably Ford shock mounts goin in the back too.

Re: Rockstar V2.0

Well the motivation is back on this thing.....she may get the title 'Redemption'.

Trying to figure out how to post pics here but The body now levelled out on the suspension.

Started my 22gallon tank as I know once I fire this thing up again, I gonna be running thru lots of fuel to get the most motivation possible!

Re: Rockstar V2.0

To upload pics go to manage attachments, in the upper right corner thare is a spot to upload pics and then after that you go to the bottom of the page and load them there.

Re: Rockstar V2.0

Here's the new tank internal section. Still need to drill small holes along the bottom as well start on fuel lines to the walbros pickups.

Not sure where to place the supposedly bleedable ones as well if I should go halfway up the rear slope.
