I don't think I've ever done a project thread on SSM. But anyways here is some progress on a truck I started last weekend. Its a 98 s10 getting set up for 18s. Nothing too crazy compared to alot of the full builds out there but this is just a bag job.


The Victim


Laser cut parts


Bench building the crossmember



Getting the wishbone and notch ready to go


Mocked up on the floor

Mounting the shocks

A little bit of work from under the cab

Capped off the shock crossmember mounts

Air tank mounts in place. (waiting for 1 more tank before I weld them up) Mounts still bolt to the frame to service the tanks if needed.

All thats really left to do is pull the dif out and finish the welding on the tabs. I also have some gussets to add to the 'hoop' over the cast section. The front is done. Only shitty thing is the customer is taking it home to plumb and wire it over winter so I wont have any finished pics till spring haha.

Looks really great, sturdy construction is worth it's weight in gold. Any concern of adding support to the upper bag mounts to fight torsional movement?
