      this is my favorite part about the whole truck i think, is this stupid little SS 3/8 16 bolt that i drilled out and made into a breather for the axle. granted i still the design from ford, its kinda the ATD im going with

      oh and using weld nuts everwhere. i mean who wants to hole Two wrenches when you need things done fast?

      Been working my ass off, and schools been killing me, butttttttt i purchased these babies

      ridetech 4.1" 32 way adjustable compressing and rebound

      The passanger side has gone smooth. When i talked to ridetech they said no one there has made C5 front suspension work on airbags... well i have. i made plates for the Control Arm that integrated the shock mounts with the plate as well as clamping the L channel of the arm (since it it forged aluminum). I didnt want to drill it because forged aluminum is prone for cracking at a hole without a boss, and you cannot weld it without losing its structure.



      Then the driverside frame got in the way.... so i cut the frame back apart and am sleeving the tubing for the rack and pinnion steering shaft (didnt have the shocks when i made it)


      should have an update next week

      The C5 air ride brackets look real good... any more pics of those?

      Youre getting close... 4 months to make it to RTTS. I think you could swing it if you tried.

      4 months will never happen, power tour is still iffy in may... but

      this was 4 hours making this friggin hole. wish my plasma didnt kick the can.. had to torch cut it then use a carbide...

      this should be done tomorrow and i can get back onto the frame making.

      chris ill post the c5 buckets when they are actually done, they are tacked in place incase i have to move them more to the side when making the top control arm/ shock loop
