THINGS IN RED I HAVE

1. Build new frame with 3 link front and 4 link rear. (frame ordered)

2.Custom HP pass drop Dana 60 and Dana 60 rear

3. 40x14.50x17 inch tires most likely Iroks
4. Dana 300 twin stick 4:1 ratio

5. Front and rear Bumpers custom made tied in with rock sliders 12000 pound winch
6. Custom spare tire mount in bed of truck
7. Repainted, underbelly and frame coated with rhino line or some other

The most resent mod... Dana 300 in the truck

You can use all stock xmembers but one unless you run a 2 piece shaft in the rear and can use stock T-case mount/bracket with a little fab

Re: The Sfa_Colorado Overhaul!!!!!!

About 3 foot of air and leaf springs puts way tomuch stress on the front of the frame!!! And racer if u r not careful u to may damage your frame One heavy hit on a hidden under the mud ledge will hurt!!!!
