Drell42: "I just picked up a 2020 F550 and am looking at doing a very simular build. Its great to see all the work you have done so far. Thanks for the detailed build. I will likely be in touch for help soon." Thank you, PM me amy time, this is not an easy venture at all, Ill help with what I...

Weather is horrible and the truck won't fit in my garage, not a lot accomplished today. My wheel locks from Advanced Wheel Locks came in today. After searching the net these seem to be the best out there. If they want the tires and wheels they'll get them but these locks should give them a...

I was able to get the brakes bled this weekend and the front tires on... Below are picks of it at ride height. You can see the big gaggle of wire underneath which is from the air system which I still need to run and wire up... I can go up roughly another 5in or down roughly another 5in from...

It is for both, it has 2 Viair 444C compressors, info from Viairs' website: VIAIR’s 444C compressor dual system offers unmatched durability, power, and performance for air suspension and other demanding applications. Reaching 100% duty cycle at 100 PSI, the 444C is a robust, powerful solution...

Another day another step forward. I mounted the 3H Air System under the cab on the driver side today. I used rivnuts that I put into the bottom framing of the cab and altered the bracketry to make it work. Now the whole box bolts in and unbolts easily for service. Next step is the wiring. I...

I was able to square away the wheel wells today. You can see (below) where the factory wheel well liner stops and the BuckStop wheel well liner starts. Essentially you reinstall the factory liner and then install the BuckStop liner which the factory liner just rests on top of. Eh, it works...

I was able to get the rear shocks installed. I had to clock the reservoir on the driver side to clear the fuel tank, worked out perfectly. Left & Right side pictured below... I was able to get the factory front wheel well liners back in but I did not install the BuckStop liners which complete...

Klahanie, its roughly 10.5 inches from the bottom of the frame down. no further than the Kelderman bracketry and many other things...

Got the rear brake lines in this weekend, still need to bleed them. Hopefully next weekend I will have the rear shocks squared away and the brakes bled..

Hey MOG, I didn't mount the pump and filter upside down because it is still wicked easy to reach right over that little wall and unbolt them. My thought is from a protection standpoint and it was easy enough to bend up the aluminum on my brake. I drilled a hole in the center of the bracket and...

The correct 54 gallon Titan tank made it which I installed last weekend. This will be feeding the factory 40 gallon tank when needed. I had to make a aluminum bracket to hold the pump and filter which I used the factory fuel filter mount on the tank for. I think I will weld on another level...

After trying to fit the Titan tank into place last weekend I figured out they had sent me the 40 gallon, not the 54 gallon. Sssooo I mailed that one back and they shipped me the 54 gallon which should be here this week, they were very cool about it. I didn't feel like doing anything after that...

I was able to track down the steel braided brake hoses, I ordered them 5 inches longer to account for the adjustability of the airbags front and rear. I was also able to pull the trigger on the shocks. I went with Fox remote reservoir adjustable for the front Part # 883-26-097 and Fox piggy back...

Long story short, I cheated.... After thinking over building my 1st custom fuel tank and the time it would take, not to mention the things I would screw up, I just pulled the trigger on the 54 gallon Titan tank. I also purchased their transfer pump setup that comes with a gauge for the inside of...

More headway today, I installed the Stryker Industries adjustable trackbar, much bigger and adjustable, comparison to factory bar in pic below. I also pulled the trigger on the Carli radius arms. Pics below comparing the Carli arms and my factory arms. They also came with Carli black & white...

I replaced the Bilsteins with Fox on my Wrangler and it was night and day in handling and ride quality. I am building out my F550 now and just got the Carli Radius arms in-today, can't wait to put them on this weekend. I am tossing back and forth the idea of putting Fox on my F550 or King...

As I work on figuring out the brake lines, today I started the search for where to mount the 3H air management system and air tank. I really need to get the fuel transfer tank in to figure out where the air system will then fit. I did open up the 3H system, pretty slick setup. . .

I'll check them out, thank you..

Kryptonite sway bar links (3" lift version) compared to my factory links. Hopefully they perform like they look.. . .

Both front airbags now installed. With the axle sitting on the jack stands and airbags completely deflated/full squat I rolled the front tire up into position. The axle is still about 3 inches or so too low to put the tire on but this gives you a good idea of how it is going to fit. Plenty of...
