LT process starts this coming friday.
what is going to get done in the next 2 weeks is
install solid motor mounts
Blitz Long travel
engine cage
remove metal inner fenders, core support, a/c, heater
may end up runing a 2.0 coil over with very minimal valving in it, and a 3.0 triple or quad bypass, with the air bump off the upper arm.
going to do some research on that setup to figure out oil volumes and do some calling to shock companies to figure out if their internals will hold up to constant abuse and not have to rebuild each race, or trip

made some big progress this weekend... no turning back now
Still able to get to the motor mount bolt
2 of the 4 upper a-arm mounting gussets.
lower mounts will be plated to prevent the holes from ovaling, and braced between the 2 mounts and then braced back into the frame

ha i cant wait for it to be done too!
due to money constraints, i may just run a single 3.0 coil over and my 2.0 bump stops and call it a day.
ABS is getting pulled off, master cyclinder is getting put a a 90* from original location for clearance reasons.
may cut wiring harness and put all computer and fuse box components inside the cab.
basically the truck will not be a street truck any more within the next 6 months

oh and your old kit found a nice home under my truck as well this weekend
good times with the coils lol
yes it looks funny but i am happy to have a solid product under my truck plus it is way better then busted ball joints and shocks.
tomorrow it is going to get alignment done

oh, and a custom made intake will be built, 2.5 or 3.0 tubing and an inclosed filter.
cage is going to be tied into the cab even more, seat belts re mounted, make an X in with the door bars and a removeable top bar at window level to bolt up window nets.
