Prerunner/Dual Purpose 94 Build

[Travisfab]

I bought the kit used so the springs had already settleled. I'm guessing the springs are for 2.5" of lift. It sits pretty low

It's great to have a vehicle that I can do this in after work on a Tuesday.

Did those rear fiberglass quarters replace the metal or go over th we top?

 

[Travisfab]

They could do either. I have them over the top right now.

Cool...I'm going to have to look into these since I'm going full width.....gonna need the fenders to stick out to cover most the tire to pass stupid inspections

 

[Travisfab]

The snowball continues. I recently saw a set of fine thread FOA's and was really impressed. I just could not justify dropping big money on a set of "race" shocks, and for what I use the truck for, these are perfect.

2.5x12 for the front
2.5x10 for the rear

The front shocks should bump my front wheel travel from about 12" to around 16"

Ex is looking great! How much (if you don't mind me asking) did the fiberglass run you?

I work for the company that makes them. It only cost me my slave labor!

Torn down the front end last night & put 12 solo hours into it today. Shocks mounts are done, just need to build a cross member, align it, remount my air filter so I can close the hood & play with my preload/ride height

 

[Travisfab]

Sitting much better now

I like this truck.. clean looking

 

[Travisfab]

Drop pitman going on today!

 

[Travisfab]

Threw a drop pitman arm on & it made a night & day difference. Also strapped it & started on the shock hoop cross member.

Those shocks look like big money ha

Retail for the font & rear shocks was $1206. FOA's are the most cost effective performance shocks out there! They don't just bolt on though, so if you don't have fabrication experience the install would not be too easy on the pocket.

 

[Travisfab]

Rear shocks are in. I hid the reservoirs up above the spare, nice & low profile.

Here's a little before and after!

1 year to the day since I picked this thing up.
Just ordered some Dana 44 conversion brackets, so that will be the next big change
