Dana 60 for the Dmax

Here are some more pics enjoy

I am going to move the rear axle back about 1/2" to 3/4" to allow it to center up under the wheel well better when it compress's. I plan to change the lower shock brackets on the axle as well to allow for a little more compression I think.

Let me know what you guys think and if you want to see something flexed differently or another camera angle. It's no rock crawler but I think it does enough flex for the type of off roading at SIlver Lake Sand Dunes I will be doing.

Truck looks sick. That looks like a little more than 12" of lift to me though

 

[$Smokin_Duradog$]

Yea I think you are right. 12" is what I was shooting for. I ended up at 8' 2" to the top of the Cab lights. When the truck was on 38's 8 IFS lift and a 3" body lift it was sitting at 7' 10" so I gained 4"s and took the body lift off and added 40's and the SAS.

So it would be roughly a 14" IFS lift I would guess. Hard to put a number on it. Just glad I can stuff the rear tires and not wipeout the wheel well of the bed. 5" up travel in the rear and 9" down. 6" up travel in the front and 6" down.

Yeah I was gonna guess like 15"

I haven't really thought of a date to go up there. My wife is currently pregnant with our first child and she is do July 26th. So I am really not sure how things are going to change as far as us leaving home for a weekend yet. PM me your email I will try and give you some notice before we head up. I am thinking I will wait until after the Indy Jamboree that is September 14-16 so maybe head up to Silver Lake 21th or 28th that way if I break its just intime for the truck to be parked

Replaced all my exterior lights with L.E.D's except for the headlights and fogs. Switched to all smoked lens as well. The headlights are pretty cool looking I think. I have never really cared for how GM does grill to split up the head lights and the bumper lights. Kinda gives the truck the look of the 07.5 and newer chevs.

Boom! That turned out awesome! I need to get started on mine next summer, won't be that big, just 33s or 35s.

 

[whitetrash21]

Looks badass!! Stance is awesome.

Thanks! With the Fabtech IFS kit I had before I swear almost half the tire hung out of the wheel well. It would sling road grime and dirt on top of the cab. The SAS narrowed the front up a good amount but I like the way it turned out. Heres another pic with just the parking lights on.

 

[Sledheadxp800r]

The more the tires stick out the more I like it

 

[Burn Down]

I'm kinda digging the headlights. Who makes them?

 

[Sledheadxp800r]

Looks like some wild escalde conversion headlights

This is the link for the Ebay Seller I bought them from.

At the time I bought them they had the cheapest price. Their picture looked just everyone else but they were almost 75 cheaper so I took a chance that they were made by SpyderAutomotive since they looked just like their's and sure enough they are made by Spyder Automotive just resold by these guys.

Low Beam is on top and highs are right below them then its running light closest to the grill which is reversed on factory lights then the day time running light in the middle in between the to parking lights.

The 4 L.E.D.'s that run vertical in ea lamp are surprisingly bright for what they are. They just come with a ground and power and a switch I think. I tied mine into the factory fog lamp switch since the PIAA's all have their own wiring and switches etc..

IF you drive a lot at night I would not recommend the smoked lens like I got they look killer but they knock down your lighting a lot I was actually thinking of trying out some HID lighting. These lights come in all chrome and chrome and black. I was hoping the smoked ones weren't going to be as smoked as they ended up being but they work for what I use them for since its not a DD truck.

Here is a link from the actual maker of the lights they do not list the smoked ones I have but they do show the crystal and the black and crystal.

Thanks! Ya no smoked lenses for me... Were going into the dark months up here I need my anti moose hid's.

Turned out awesome. Maybe if I had done mine like yours I would still have it. Only thing I would change would be to turn the front shocks up a couple turns
