didnt plan on it, they have been replaced once before.....once i get to sanding on it tho, it might be a diffrent story, but looks ok from the inside...

gringoloco · 01-07-2008, 12:46 PM

Mmmmmm... LS7. Watching this one from 'afar'...

68 short step · 01-08-2008, 02:19 PM

did some more firewall smoothing (made it symetrical, by rounding the pass side off) and also started the process of capping the wire gutter...
my rust inhibitor should be here mid next week, so im on a holding pattern to replace the rockers, floor section, front and rear cab pillars, etc...

71Hulk · 01-08-2008, 03:34 PM

The grey quad cab Ram on that site with the cuystom 5-8 slam is mine and I am the originator of the 5-8 drop on 2002 and Up Rams. I perfected it on mine and did what everyone said couldnt be done by using a 305/40/22 (31.5) tire on a 22x9.5 rim on a drop bigger than 2-4. 4-6 kits require a 30" tire and I was able to make mine work after alot of modifications.McGaughys is the only company with a drop larger than a 2-4 on 02 and up Rams with their 4-6 kit,and I took that kit and made changes for a tried and true 5-8 on mine and I am the only person selling a 5-7 kit for a 2002-UP Ram. I actually work really close with Mcgaughys on the Dodge Ram stuff because they cater mainly to Chevy guys,and when an issue with Dodge Rams comes up they call me. When the suspensions changed in the front of the 06 and up Rams I was lowering them before kits were out,and found out the coils were not the same from 02-05 and sent Mcgaughys factory coils to make their new kits coils from.

I just decided to cater to the Rams while I tried to get a name for myself and build my business for a while. I have been doing mechanic work for now over 20 years,and have specialized in suspension,brakes,alignments,exhaust and under car.I have done a few air systems here locally but most of my drops are static.

Another cool build!! Keep it up 68 SS.

LooseCannon · 01-10-2008, 03:01 PM

Am I the only one that's not seeing the pics?

SunTzu · 01-10-2008, 03:51 PM

68 short step · 01-10-2008, 04:07 PM

i did some rearranging on my photobucket account, guess it "x" the pics....i got them fixed now, so LMK if ya'll still see the "x"

SunTzu · 01-10-2008, 04:16 PM

Yep I can see them now, thanks for fixing them.

All I have to say is

Wow, I think I will run out and check my rockers.

68 short step · 01-14-2008, 03:33 PM

ok ive been doing some work...the rust inhibitor came in, and i applied 2 coats ( silver) of the rust bullet and one coat of the protective finish (black) per manufacture recomendation....also got the inner rocker panel welded in, lower kick panel, front and rear pillers...temperarely screwed the outer rocker on, hung the door and front fender to align the rocker as needed.......after lowering the front of the outer rocker bout 1/8" i had my 3/16 (well a paint stick) gap i wanted....i then noticed that the door has rust issues towards the lower front, causeing it to seperate and bow out (seen in pics)...all-in-all the rocker is flush with the bottom of door/fender/and cab corner....here are the pics..

68 short step · 01-14-2008, 03:37 PM

68 short step · 01-14-2008, 03:39 PM

and pics of the bowed out door

Rokcrln · 01-14-2008, 03:48 PM

Looking good! When looking down the bottom of the door can you see it flare out? I have had this before but it was the original cab corner that was out and the replacement rocker don't help by having a slight crown to them. I had to cut the cab corner loose and work it out for a perfect door placment. I think it was on the Lemondrop build.
