Chris' 1794 Build

Looking beefy with the new shoes!

 

awesome build! Gives me some ideas for my 1794

 

You’re truck is looking good, Chris!

I’m hoping, as everything seems to be opening up a bit, that you and the Fambly will make your way back here for a visit soon. Keep me posted on that AND know I’m looking forward to my yearly update on Crocket! I hope y’all are well!

 

Installed some firestone air bags and Daystar cradles. My leaf springs are starting to flatten out, likely from towing, so I put the bags in to help with that. eventually in a year or so I will replace the leaf springs with some heavier rated ones. I need to go weigh the truck to see exactly how much I weigh with the 46 gal tank, 37's, sliders, full size spare, bed cover, front bumper, and all the additions inside the cab.


I put the air bag fill ports as the license plate bolts for easy access and I did not want to drill a hole somewhere or climb under the truck to access. I may one day add the wireless airlift compressor setup so i can pay with the pressures

 

How much did the truck weigh?

 

I have not weighed it yet. I would guess I have added 6-700lbs of weight to the truck of stock weight.

 

neglected my build tread for a few years apparently.... Just had new tires installed this morning, I decided to downsize just a bit to 35s from 37s. I loved the look of the 37's, just wanted to get a little more power back when towing, hopefully be able to use 5th gear on the highway towing, and hopefully 1/2 to 1 mpg better, especially when towing. We want to do a big road trip in the next year or so and getting 6mpg hurts when i used to get 7.5-8 when I was on the 295/70's
