I only designed the front suspension & steering geometry. The key to making these cars & trucks corner faster is increasing front grip & this will do that.
Having said that, I LOVE the rear suspension layout. The torque arm offers 50/50 torque distribution for excellent corner exit grip. the adjustable panhard bar lets you tune the rear roll center to balance the corner handling. The sway bar arms & coil-over shocks mounted on the outside of the frame is the best mounting strategy.
I did not design this, but that is how I design my stuff when I have the freedom to do it. Having the coil-over shocks mounted wider, quickens the shocks responsiveness, increasing the car/trucks grip & responsiveness. Having the sway bar arms mounted on the outside of the frame allows for the longest bar possible ... and running long arms ... narrows up the sway bar rate adjustment range ... making more of the tuning holes actually usable.

More updates...
We've got short billet solid body mounts on to help channel the body over the frame. As a result we're doing a little bit of fab work to help get the driveline angles correct. First part was building a new tunnel cover. This one will stay in Oreo but we'll have a little more refined production design available as an add on for the frame package.
Next up was modding the back of the cab. This much clearance wouldn't have been necessary had we used our factory height body mounts, so there's two options for everyone with the frame package.

Thanks folks!
And so the progress continues...
We're going for smooth and clean, so to match the flush glass and shaved drip rails we did a vent window delete kit. A bit of work to install but it's a great subtle change to the look of the exterior.

In the engine bay Jeremy fabbed out some low key inner fender wells with hidden compartments up front. On the left it houses the air cleaner box, while the right houses all the engine management electronics.

On this pic you can see the beginnings of the splitter and tow tab. The splitter doubles as a partial belly pan to direct high speed airflow under the truck.
Hexagon mesh fills the grille inserts.

On to the interior...
Vintage Air supplied our HVAC unit, nicely tucked behind the glove box door.
What's a pro touring driver to do without some decent tunes? Our center console incorporates a down firing woofer...
... with plenty of amps to push it, incorporated as an exposed part of the rear interior panel.
We also wanted a modern feel to the design so we built it all around 2015 Sierra components and a pistol grip B&M shifter. Looks natural in there eh?

We finally got all the little details worked out on the prototype frames and production #1 frame returned from powdercoating awaiting final assembly.
To make plumbing easy this frame has pre-bent brake line kit option. It fits nice and snug and sure makes the install a cake walk. Tabs are all prewelded to the frame and the lines all fit perfectly.

For a clean engine bay the battery box has been incorporated under the bed. Holes are tapped in the frame on either side for a battery mount. Had we run a really gnarly sound system we could have run dual batteries- one on either side, but we're trying to keep weight down so we opted for a single battery on the right side for better weight distribution.
Holes are also predrilled for our Rick's custom tank and straps. Install was quick and painless.

Custom frame mounts are included, in our case we opted for a 525 hp GM crate LS3 and the stands give the engine just the right position to work around steering and crossmembers.
On this build we wanted it to be a super comfortable drive to events so we decided to forgo the man pedal and went with a 4L65 auto. Crossmember getting into position and final assembly.

Here's a cool option, the ATS road race LS oil pan allows for a remote oil filter and the frame is pre-drilled for mounting it on either the right or left side. Super easy to incorporate a cooler in there too.
PS and oil lines routed around Unisteer rack and pinion steering.

Rear axle breather will keep the rear seals happy.
Quick ratio feel rack and pinion has about 2.5 turns lock to lock. Now that's a huge improvement from the farm tractor like factory box!
