Birdman, you are correct...we are running 4:11s.

Here we are prepping the front axle to be hot tanked, we also removed the spring perch pads so we could relocate the new set.

ssuth9 · 10-13-2015, 05:30 PM

Wow, looks great..

MetalWorks · 10-16-2015, 01:58 PM

Here we are undercoating the cab and box.

ssuth9 · 10-16-2015, 02:14 PM

Looks great.. What are you using for undercoat and inside the Bed?

Thanks, the undercoating in Raptor, and we are sending the box bed to be LINE-X coated.

Here we are prepping the axles for paint, then shooting them black.

MetalWorks · 10-20-2015, 11:35 AM

Loose components are in paint.

MetalWorks · 10-20-2015, 11:37 AM

We blasted the hardware, then sent it off to be nickel plated...looks pretty sweet.

Nice touch

7dee2 · 10-22-2015, 12:56 PM

Very nice, curious if you guys top coated or added something to get the chassis paint to a semi-gloss sheen and if so what you used? It all looks great!

DWilbur · 10-22-2015, 02:57 PM

Thanks...we used "No Rust" on both the frame and axles, no changes to it, just how it came out of the gun...has a great semi-gloss look to it.
