Heres a few pics of the progress done this weekend.

Relocated this brake manifold thing. I have no idea what it does I just built some brackets for it and reran the brake lines.






Then I was able to finally finish my battery tray and relocate the battery. It didnt quite turn out like I wanted but its ok.





Then I was able to get the driver side shock mounted. I still need to do the passenger side and move the brake line to the drive side caliper.

I will but there is numerous diffrent ways to do it. My 03 layed on 22s with all stock parts. This one is going lower with bigger wheels. You decide to do it let me know. Ive been around the block a few times with these trucks.

I got a little bit more done this weekend Ill post up some pics later.

i want to do something radical to my truck, sice it has become less of a family vehicle since we bought the Z. I want to get a 4 door jeep soon but i promised chrissy and the kids i would build them a new house first. back to the truck, i have thought about stroking it(awe yeah) but i have always wanted a properly bagged, completely shaved ram. hmmmm go fast or looks? i have the Z to go fast? how much does a set up run Total? i can turn wrenches but i cant weld, i have access to welders though.

It really just depends on how u wanna do it. The cheapest way is 22s wrapped in 265/35/22 with all stock parts. all ur air ride stuff is a about 800 to 1000 just for air managment. Thats not counting a link set up. A good shop ur gonna spend 5 to 7k. Thats y i learned how to do my own work. When im done ill have less than 2k in mine and thats with a few custom goodies like tublar control arms and custom tie rods. Thats also not counting the narrowing the rear end 4 inches to tuck the 24s. Thats about 6 to 800 alone. Like i said it just all depends. Theres alot of factors.
