Thanks guys, been a long time in the making. Joined the site to learn more about motor work so when I get to that point of this build, I will have the confidence in all my decisions and building.

Did you design the kit yourself?

Where did it get cut out.

The work looks good, how clean did it cycle? (travel, bumpsteer, camber gain?)

I guess I should have stated, I am no fabricator. Guy out of the SLO area designed and built the kit. When my kit was cut, he was having it cut somewhere in L.A. and shipped back up to him. He now has his own plasma table so he cuts everything himself now. The truck is up in his shop now and he is the one that is doing the whole front end and finishing/changing some things on the cage.

As far as travel, at the hub it will be strapped/bumped at 20.5", has no bumpsteer (thanks to crossover swing set steering), and I forget the exact camber #s, at droop it isn't much, at bump I want to say around 7* I think

Bad ass man!! Makes me want to get my damn truck done. If I can just get Chris Mazzulla to get his crap together and get me the right parts. The Ls motors are awesome. That truck will love some new found Ls power!! Keep up the good work.

Seeing all these pre-runners lately has me really leaning on the fence of un-lowering mine and going to play in the dirt. Awesome truck man.

Unfortunately, the cost of them is ridiculous if you do them right. There isn't really a place for me to drive one around here or I'd probably try to build one myself.

I could build it, I just couldn't design it.

Don't do it if it is your daily driver. I broke this one and then ended up buying my '99 Z71. Part of the reason it is only in this stage now, and not a year and a half ago.
