TNT Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 It's looking very sweet. How much do the boxsides flare out for tie coverage? A picture from the back showing the whole inside of the bed would be great. I plan on mounting my rear shocks to the top of the axle and maybe building some guards to protect the shocks from getting damaged. You're going to have a bad a$$ rig when you are done with it.
Rectangle Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 You still want the lights and shifter boot? If so, PM me. Thanks Craig W

The boxsides have a 6 inch flare. They are placed in the original locations but stretch out over the tires. I plan to mount the shocks on the 9inch the same way as you mentioned above the springs.
Masscrawler Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 here's a pic for ya TNT hope its what you are looking for. I have the FULL TRACTION long arms and Deavers put in and love the setup so far. I have a few pics from the day of install, I'll post them up soon. I have the King Bumps and reinforcing plating then the front is pretty much done. The stock axle is on the truck now taking some abuse but I have a trussed beam to go in....some day.
JeepcoMJ Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 so how much would you say the front fenders and rear bedsides cost you all told? ...I think I've got a truck for a set of them :D
Masscrawler Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 so how much would you say the front fenders and rear bedsides cost you all told? ...I think I've got a truck for a set of them :D I think it was close to 1100-1200 all said and done but I had them shipped. :cheers:

You would be much better off going with their flare sides (ones pictured on Rustys site) if you wanted to go that route, alot less work and you retain the use of the bed and save money on just the flare sides. :brows:
Masscrawler Posted January 11, 2008 Author Posted January 11, 2008 This pic was taken the day of the Full Traction kit. oh and I put on a set of Outlaw II's and BFG 32x11.5s on. They still look a little small on it but I like the lower profile for cornering.
Masscrawler Posted January 11, 2008 Author Posted January 11, 2008 found another good shot.... Looks like I may be starting another build thread.:brows: I just scored an 88 4x4 with 135K. I'm planning to give it that new style look but still wheel it.
