Re: Bartmans AD-S10 Chassis Swap

Welcome back to the new section and good to see you're making headway!

I dropped mine on 4x4 blocks to get it nice and low. The transmission will require a small hump, about 2" in height, so not too bad. if you decide to keep it that low, you will find the box a bit high and as so will require a few choice mods. You can either leave the box that high, drop your fenders (about 2") and will require taller filler panels between the box front and the running boards, or, you can drop the box back down those 2" and raise the bed floor up to accommodate.

Personally, I like the look of mine with the box a little higher as it really helps to offset the look of the tall cab on a low box. I did have to fab the box to board filler panels though... not hard IMO. Then when you do a 4/2 suspension drop, everything comes right back down (I'm running 28" tires on mine).

Cheers!
Ted.
