Cool Up, Up, And Away!!!!!

I have decided to pull the triger on a Thuren custom suspension. I will be lifting the front end about 4" and the rear about 2". I will be moving the front axle forward about 1" and doing all new shocks and a new track bar, etc. etc.

I haven't decided on a powdercoat color yet, but I should have the truck done by mid- December with this phase, including the new Road Armor as well.

Here is a Photochop of what the truck should look like with the new 41" tires. The front end is a little higher than it will be in reality (the truck will be level when I am done). I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

That's a nice Ford. Do you happen to remember what size tires were on those 22.5s?

I didnt know Thuren or any other race quality suspension made a 4" lift. If so that's great someone steped up and made a taller lift.

From what I understand from being on other truck boards, Don is the man at making custom setups. He has a hookup that can make coils just like you want them. When/if I ever get the money to do a lift the correct way, I'm probably going to go through Don.

Good looking truck D.Wiggs, cant wait to see it when its done.
