bagging & body droping a 81 crew cab Dually & cummins swap

well got some little things done on the truck getting rdy to start the back half today have some friends coming over to give me a hand and try to get it notched 4 linked and maybe put my watts link on but will see how far we get and my compressors didnt fit on the accuair mount so i fab some up to fit just need to bend them drill the holes and clean them up and i got my new rear semi air bags for the bag but should be getting started in about a hr so ill get some pics up tonight of wht we got done

i got the notch done yesterday was a long night my plasma cutter didnt want to work so i had to take it back old skool with cut off wheels and a reciprocating saw but here are some more pics and a pic of where the bag is going to go

looking really good man..... love all the new parts...

Lookn good

thxs man its getting there i would be a lot farther if my plasma cutter would work but ill be damned if ill let that slow me down

Just push through brother!
Looking real nice.

well ill be starting back up on the truck here soon its just been sitting in the garage i got the last u joint in for the steering still waiting for my lower a-arms to come back and i got my self a new try an 08 350z i fucking love it

Awesome build so far man, looking like its going to be a hell of a clean truck. Quick question about the DM...If i get the DM and MMW Arms will my 89 Chevy CC lay frame in the front without my arms and other steering components scrubing (not interested in a body drop, just wanting to lay frame)? In all honesty im not a welder so im trying my best to get as much "bolt together" as i can. Thanks in advance for any advice, I havent started my build yet (actually Just picked up the truck about 2 months ago). SO JEALOUS OVER THE Z!!!

if ur not looking to lay rocker the stock cross member should be fine u would just need to cup ur lower a-arms and buy 3in drop spindles im sure u could find some one to weld it up would save u a lot of money around $2400.00 are u running a bbc or a sbc in the truck i had to cut and add 1in to my dm motor mounts because my oil pan was hitting with the bbc but the dm is really nice tho and the a-arms are just sick and very heavy duty i went with the dm and the a-arms because i am going to be towing a 2 car trailer so i didnt want to cup my lowers but if u want to use the gm and a-arms u should be just fine with laying out in the front and u will get a rack and pinion so no more steering box

Thanks for the quick response. Im pretty set on the MMW Arms lol but thanks for the info on the CM. Right now its got the factory BBC but 1 of the very first things to happen is a 6.0L LQ9 mated to my TH400 with a 3.73 gear swap. So since im not boding it theres no need for the DM, just drop spindles and MMW Arms to lay frame? Will it allow me to lay out and tuck 22" Alcoas? Any recommendations on a rack and pinion?
