Re: Project: Tow-Rat (Lil' Blue)

obviously the air bags vs coils, no going back on making this thing low. proper low. i ordered the 3" lowering spindles this time. trial and error learned i need them after messing with the C10 IFS geometry the first go-around.

So the tires on it from the Ram are the exact size i'm getting to build with, and i've decided that i like the front wheel placement in the opening. the rear however needs stretched more. more wheel base and getting the axle close to the hitch will both help towing. so i've moved the fender as far back on the bed as i can, was a 10.5" move. with a tire shift in the wheel opening too, i should be right at 12" stretch. will have the same wheelbase as my 2008 2500 extended cab, short bed GMC, but the hitch 6" closer to the axle.

it's a good thing i bought 2 fuel cells to make the tank with before, they will not get split up and made into saddle tanks.
