Re: 99 Silverado Buildup
crap i havent posted anything in a long time. had to ditch the bed idea due to the design.
decided to go a different route, got some new parts: -long travel deavers -10 bolt rear end with 4.56 gears and factory limited slipped -32 gallon fuel cell -LED lights -finally put my 4 35" bfgs on! along with the new deavers came a new bedcage. very very similar to the design before but with some tweeking and some more dimples! ha ha. ![]() ![]() ![]()

negative man, this project is for me and me alone. not making anything for people anymore, not even bumpers. dont have time, between 50+ hours at work, riding bmx at night at the skatepark, and working on my truck, i just dont have time for that right now. plus this truck takes alot of time and its a future race truck. racing the 1000 is in my blood and my grand father and father did it for years so its only natural for me to want to do it!

double it up thickness wise or amount wise because its 1/8 inch and there is another bracket on the other side. its secured very tight on the other side as well so there is no movement when its on. i went through an entire desert season with no problem with that design. this next one i might make out of 3/16 cause thats what i have in the shop right now but otherwise the design has been good.

Re: 99 Silverado Buildup
That jack bracket will not break.
Good to see you got deavers. Is this why you built the new bedcage to match the travel on the new springs? You may have issues with axle wrap but since your only running a limited slip you may not. Under sprung might have been the safe way to go but you'll know once you test it. Why not run the stock tails? Get the 03' up they look good. looks good |

Re: 99 Silverado Buildup
it actually is pretty snug in there. i thought the same thing and the first time i went out i kept checking it over and over cause i would hate to have it buck out or something like that and break a good jack. no wear and it held on the whole time. as a matter of fact i cut off the mount the way it is and adapted it to the new cage.

Re: 99 Silverado Buildup
got the fuel cell mounting in, and hand built some straps to hold down the cell itself. not 100% done. just need the final mount for the straps to hook into.
