pics of my build from factory to now :)

[2insane]

Heres some pics of my 2004 F-350 lariat long box,
When I ordered truck i ordered it with stainless rocker panels, under coating, wooden box liner, window drip rails , hood Vailance,as well had them put in the High idle set up lol.
I told them to take of the steering stablizer off i didn't want that. Also ordered it with the life time no rust guarntee thingy hahaha. My truck body and frame is electricly charged suppose to work i can sorta see it in Theory But most importantly i ordered it with the Donohoe racing 6" lift it came with 37" pro-comp tires,6 bilestien shocks. So literally I spent 10G on top of price for Mods before i even seen the truck hahahaa.
So i drove it and got the stares looked wicked, no problems with it i was Happy. till i started seeing Dodges, and Chevs that were lifted taller. lmao
I wasn't going to let that happen,So i talked to a RCMP friend and asked about the laws on lifted trucks etc.then i started searching the net and started planning my next lift which was to go Big lol So heres some pics oftruck total lift 28" I used 8" deaver springs, Dr crossover steering, track bar, steerin pitman arm, dual shock front mounts,and high steer knuckle. 8 donohoe signature series res shocks 20x12 weld cheyennes, 49" Iroks, 3.5" steel wheel spacers, clocking ring for Transfer case. price tag 15G if not more I had to build my own
shackles front and back, and get driveshafts lengthened re design tranny bar as drive shaft from stock goes above, and had to make new steady bearing mount. here yea go

So i drove this for around 2 years like that went through 2 sets of 49" iroks, screwed the 1st set with those balancing beads.The beads took out the rubber balancing bladder Interco puts in cause theres a lot of rubber there. I finally found a balancing machine that could do them.I re balanced every 5000 km.
I had full factory Warranty on this truck at that height, People couldn't believe it hahahaha. anyways the truck drove wicked a little gutless out of hole but could cruise 110 on highway no problem and straight.As for parking lol i needed room. So with 37,000 km on truck i noticed some Vibrations in the front end i thought WTF so in she went to dealer my hole front end was shot, Who would think that being i had approx 250 pounds of rim,spacers, and tire.hahahaaha on each corner kinda stressed You think :) So they replaced hubs an all.I thought this is not good i need to figure out how to make my truck bullit proof so only way i could do this an run a big tire was to go to dueces of course braking as well was a issue so it was a plus plus, So the planning started I needed rockwells ,a bud of mine in Arizona (Schmaug ) He was like the first to do a rock swap on his duty. So he was a ton of help if i had any questions So i got a hold of some rockwell suppliers and finally got me some front steer axles with 18" disks home of course with Overversion hubs etc.

So when your the only one around and pull up to a light, how will the light know your thier since your so high up? If my friend had a problem with this in his Toyota which was only like 3 feet off of the ground, I have no idea how you are going to do that.

Amazing truck though. Very cool what a person can do with time, money and skills!

[2insane]

All I'll be adding is the extended cab doors off the 750 body , then cut 350 back wall adding the extended doors going to get rid off the long box and put in short box, should line up perfect. I hope but this is all going to take a while funds have dimenished lol

To be honest ran stock 373 gears with 49 " iroks. 6.0 diesel, stage3 cold air intake.little slugish out of hole
Highway est I got big tank [ longbox ] and with the fuel/octane conditioner used same as blackstock 580---640 km on tank
with dueces 672 gears 54" tire combo ratio will be like running stock gears

[Northern Supercrew]

wow, what can i say. it's impressive when you can park in a river/lake and not get your diffs wet! can't wait for the 54's. those will make the 6.0 work. what did you do to help the brakes?

[King Ranch]

Very cool trunk...love it.
I have a question. I have a 2004 F350 with 44's and about 20" of lift with stock 3.73's. When I take off from a stop I get a vibration (I think its from my hanger bearing). It goes away after 4 or 5 mph. I've put my hanger bearing up and down but cannot get rid of the vibration. Driving me nuts. Any ideas? Is there a calculation for the degree the drive shaft angles should be or is it something else?
Thanks, Kevin

[SKRWZ]

Kevin, you can start here http://www.steeda.com/news/tech_articles/pinion_angle.php

Thats, a start but I'm sure 2insane will also give you some good advice

[Northern Supercrew]

don't know sh*t about brakes, regarding sizes. 18" sound pretty big, so hope they work:icon_wink: she's a great work in progress.
