Help me build a Sled Puller
So my truck isn't need on the job anymore and instead of selling it, I'm turning it into a sled puller. So far, this is my list of "needs".
F1 Cam
F1 Springs
Flux 4's
Cp3 Stage 3
A5000 Turbo (no twins aloud)
Raptor 150 fuel pump
Smarty race 4000 rpm
Traction Bars
Weight bar
Suspension blocks
What in your opinion do i need to consider or change? Who makes the best ladder bars for the price? Where can I get a good deal on the turbo? So many questions.... so much money....
Let the opinions fly!!

I would give haisley machine a call and get a second gen ats manifold, and hang a s400 with a 2.8 housing on it. I believe a modified s400 will out flow a 5000 and probably more dependable.

u can always put a reducer on the turbo. and gdp's ladder bars are the Best design imo. I decided to build my own to look similar, but I just put bigger tubing. they've worked so far.

What size of tubing did you go with? I'll be making my own as well and going with a GDP style. Any other information on material used would be great. I'm also curious about suspension blocks and ideas for that.

1 1/2 instead of 1". 1/2" flat stock. and welded rear custom brackets. gdp has the best and not going against them, just figured more steel wasnt going to hurt.

Might check around I remember hearing the weight bar was'nt able to be used in some classes due to a 8000lb maximum weight.
But then again Ive seen a few trucks with them. Must be a class spec???
Not sure what you weigh dry but youd probly be close to 8000lbs if you get a ****** Weighted shifter ball.
