Looks Nice good job, what kind of handle bars & riser?

the bars are FLY aero tapered with the rox adjustable riser with a FLY adapter...if you go this route you can get away without having to add cable extentions but i added a longer brake line

nice job how did u make them foot grips, and i bet that paint on the runner boards looks better in person too. awsome job man

also what did u do to get the suspension to get that high

those are rox grips...you can get a pack of 12 for around 30 bucks with rivets included....be careful when positioning and drilling for the the grips so that you dont drill through your heat exchangers;)!

where did you get those lift brackets?
Click to expand...

a buddy of mine has a machine shop and custom made the bracket plate for me from carbide steel... theyr very strong and dont flex at all.

p.s. i could probrally make more from the same template now that all is done for mine. PM me if your interested ;)!

how much relocating was needed?work involved?

well the whole procedure involved lowering the two bolts holding the rearmost suspension mount to the tunnel, lift the *** end of the sled and support it with something so that the skid can be brought down. then place the pre drilled mount bracket to the inside of the tunnel, get a good mark from the pilot holes in the bracket using it as a template and drill. my tunnel has reinforcement plates on the inside of it but i added outer tunnel plates just to be sure i am not jepardizing the strength of my tunnel. then i bolted on the upper end of the plates to the tunnel with boltheads on the inside of the tunnel 3 bolts on each side. then remove the outer bushing on the suspension and reassemble. i love the way the sled rides and handles with the new, more aggressive stance!:WayCool:

i guess you cant possibly say that i may like the colors black and blue for my sled....hopefully not as much for me this season...lol....i did actually paint the tail light sides, top and bottom....it took about 10 coats of spray.
