That bed actually looks good on that truck. Never seen one that was actually done just heard it talked about.

Nice clean build. What did you go with for lift above the shackle flip? Hydro assist must be nice.

    The bed fit real nice, i had a 2inch body lift and a 3inch, i used the 2 on the cab and the 3 on the bed.  worked perfect. But i had to drill all new holes and fill in the old ones. It was trial and error, i think it came out good and doesnt line up too badly.....thanks


    Hydro assist works good with the 60 locked, its real nice on the street.   I did the west texas offroad pump mod,  ems off road sold me the cap and tapped the other for 50.00.  The cylinder, hoses and mounts are all from east coast gear supply.....(trail gear 2x8 and 2 3/8 hydralic hoses) works awesome turning 39.5s

   Shackle flip is from diy4x with 6inch shackles, cleaned and painted the frame, then i used new 2inch trailmaster springs with out the overload and a zero rate(basicly a bolt in one inch block)....the height comes out to be 4inches plus the 4inch shackle flip,  almost even with the 8inch superlift fronts....

What brand of rear gears did you use?

[treepete]

now you just need some mean black roll bars for it.

yeah... giant lights or something.

[flat black]

cant find a roll bar that fits the bed right and the gears are richmond, with the detroit locker...

[Chevalade]

Please for the love of .....do not put a roll bar on it. Cage or exo it please.
