Your 40 looks fantastic just they way it is... I think if someone needs to paint something it would be the frame showing on your dually...

I did not use coil over's. Check out simple 49 build. He may be able to help you with the info.

solidaxel · 08-04-2015, 12:22 PM

Thanks I forgot you are on air
is it simple49 ?

**CHIZZLER** · 08-04-2015, 09:51 PM

Yes. Simple49. He is running a scott's coil over IFS.

tleeGMC · 11-02-2015, 10:00 PM

Chizzler,

Is there anyway you could post pictures of the hood latches that are attached to the fire wall. My truck does not have any and I am wondering if there is a way to fabricate one or if you know of a place that sales them aftermarket? Thank you for your help.

84blaze · 12-26-2015, 04:28 PM

What fuel tank are you using?

dillonv2008 · 08-27-2017, 10:55 AM

Wow !! I'm currently welding up my 46 ifs bag system. You said you raised the fenders 3 1/2 inches how did you do that and keep running boards all aligned and stuff? Not sure what size tires I'll be running I believe they are are 26" tall

dillonv2008 · 01-21-2018, 04:29 PM

how did you go about keeping your stock steering column. what did you do to convert it so you can run the mustang 2 front end
