I have the Firestone bags, I like the adjustability of ride height/leveling but they do make the rear end very stiff and a little bouncy- even with very low pressures. I have bilstein 5100 shocks. I think if you have a separate valve for the left and right sides it helps with body roll with a...

Sounds awesome! This is exactly what I've been wanting to do! I'm excited to see the result

Thanks! Worked great- I appreciate it!

Here are some pics of the home-made rack, mainly built for lumber, pipe, moulding and anything else too long for the bed. The hi-lift and related mounting hardware can easily be removed, along with the shovel/axe mount on the driver's side. The small antenna is for the scanner. The windoors...

Thank you kindly, I'll check it out!

seriously!!! I tried to use photobucket but couldn't get them to attach! Somebody teach me!!!:iagree:

here are some pics of the computer mount. I made it to be used only without a front passenger, and uses the same upper part I use in my work truck everyday. When I take drives alone to meet the rest of the family (they often fly during the week and I drive meet them on the weekend) I use the...

I don't remember relocating anything for the dual batts- both of these together is about the same size of the single stock battery. Specs: * Length 7 13/16 in. * Width 6 9/16 in. * Height 7 9/16 in. * Drycell Battery * With Metal Jacket * 12 Volt * 40 Ah @ 10hr rate...

no, sorry I didn't get dimensions. The main tube going across the front and the receiver portion is 1/4" wall 2 1/2" square tubing. It seemed to go together like it was made for it. Thanks for the compliments!

Yeah it is a receiver on the front I made. I wanted the winch to be able to be removed when I'm in town. The front receivers you can buy like from curt mfg hang down way too far. I like the way it turned out- tucked up tight against the truck. I'll have to get some pics of the winch off of...

I found some old pics from the install process.... enjoy!

It's a diode to keep the reverse voltage spike from the magnetic field collapsing (when the coil is de-energized) from doing any damage to the truck's electronics. It just drains off the voltage basically.

The air compressor is made by Gast, more of a commercial unit. It has a pressure switch that goes on at 85 and off at 105 I believe. The 'relay' that runs the power to the compressor is a 200A rated (silver contacts) continuous rated solenoid, fed by a 100A breaker. The air tank (cheapo for...

They are Firestone Ride Rite- the kit isn't perfect, but it's ok. I have the leaf spring TSB done, so with 4 leaves instead of the stock 3, the brackets needed to be modified. The mounting bolts from brackets to the leafs are waaaaay too long. They ride awesome though, totally glad I got them...

The inverter is behind the rear seat drivers side. It's always jacked running big wire a long way but it's what I did. The compressor has a 4 awg and the inverter has a 4 awg and they share a 2 awg ground straight back to the batteries. I'd just split it if it was mine and just don't pound...

Thanks! A couple more... Here is the substation, fuse block, gauges (autometer), water temp sender and one with the relays. One relay is controlled by the trans temp gauge itself and turns on a Hayden Dawg cooler/fan and the other relay turns on the hella driving lights.

Yeah for being the cheapest inverter I could find at the time, it seems to work great- built in cooling fan and it doesn't get hot! http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/5KA88 It is expensive because it's commercial grade, made to run non-stop for years! I got it out of an ambulance- it was...

Thanks for the compliments- as for upcoming plans, I'd like to build a roll cage looking thing in the shell to help support weight on the rack without spreading the body panels apart at the tailgate. I want to raise the 5100s in the front up a click from .85 to 1.75, and I need to finish the...

The Family Trailmobile (fixed all the images, check it out!) I've been lurking here for a long time- You may notice I copied some installs of different things others have done (thanks for the ideas team!) -here are some pics. Enjoy!
