I put 30psi to a 6.9 at 4200rpm pulling for a summer.

I couldn't blow it up. The next owner though, got it accomplished. Haha

By Saturday night I had figured out how I was going to be able to build the back frame, so it would work with the suspension and axle. Got the steel cut and tacked then ran out of welding gas

Sunday got the frame welded up. Then put truck at ride height about 5". The brackets for the axle in the 4 link kit where for a 3" tube mine is 3.5" so a bit of grinding opened it up. Ready for Monday
