    update...

    Here are some pics of the front bagged & tranny crossmember installed. Now keep in mind Ill still got the Z the frame, install the 3-link kit & go with a bigger notch-(step notch). I forgot to get better pics of the tank/valves, but when we start work on the rear in 2 weeks Ill get some more of the setup to show everyone how it looks.

    *Once we get it back in the shop we/me & Jason are going to do a few more things as well. Im planning to install the late model/stamped tailgate onto my tailgate, 4-runner front clip & might raise the bed floor up to hide all the rear suspension.

    Its pretty simple as long as you have all the right tools lol & just hit me up when you decide to do it.

    Thanks for the props & its still as it looks in the pics lol. Ive been working on my 97 Eclipse GS trying to get it back together, painted & sold. Once Ive got it gone Im going to finish the truck.

    *Oh & here's a heads up to all you guys that own an extra-cab, when I start on the body drop the complete frame minus the control arms will be for sale!!More details on that when the truck gets torn done later this winter.

    Ive had a few people asking me to post pics of how I mounted all the air ride under my truck, well here are a few pics of it now that the bed is back off. Everything is tucked up between the frame rails & Ive got an extra 3/8 rubber
    air hose mounted on the tank to allow me to install a longer air hose for whatever/whenever an emergency comes up.

    As you can see its nothing fancy...5 gallon-(skinny) tank, SMC valves-(1/2 up
    & 3/8 down), 1/2 lines, 200psi pressure switch & Air Zenneth compressor thats mounted in the bed. The rear suspension is a 4wd mono-leaf, 4-inch angle blocks, c-notch/raised front hangers & Gabriel air shocks.

    Sorry for the delay...I didnt see your question till today. Im only running a mono-leaf in the back-(main spring) cause I dont drive my truck much & when I had the overload spring in it would keep my truck from sitting all the way down in the notch. As for the hangers, I drilled a new hole about an inch higher & bolted the leafs back up. I only did that cause I kept draggin through the front of the leaf springs & breaking them. Ill take a pic of what I did as soon as I get my camera back from my brother.
