i have the full air ride kit ordered from airbagit.com it should be here in two weeks. i ordered the satin black wrap for it should be here in a week. the new bed will be here tuesday hopefully. i am waiting to do the motor swap until all the rest of the stuff is done because i drive it everyday and kinda need it. the interior is done already ill get pics soon. i am going to make a new rear end cover tomorrow and incorperate the watts link into it to get rid of the panhard bar. i am looking for a srt hood and front bumper still so if anyone has a hookup on them please let me know.

Pretty neat project. Can you help me out with the train horns though? They seem to be a common thing in the bagged world, but I just don't get it. Lol

I would hope with 902 he wouldnt need a auto too make it in 11's..nice build

thanks, i just want a set of train horns, i gues the air bag world uses them because they already have air on the car/truck i guess. and the duramax choice was mainly because i bought the truck at a good price and already had it, plus i want the efi live lope . ive had cummins and they are great. i just want something a little different i guess. everyone seems to put a cummins in another truck but very rairly see a duramax in something other than a chevy expecially a 1500 dodge mega cab.

Thats alot of work, Ive considered putting airbags on my 06 3500 Ram. It rides pretty smooth but the trailer w 2 cars drops it alittle when you have to pull a car all the way to the front of the trailer. I'd love to have some of those badass wheels too.
My truck is strickly a work/tow truck. No thrills not much of anything other than CD player. It doesn't even have cruise. There was a guy delivered a Buell to me in a black Chevy that had a really bad sounding Duramax in it. I was highly impressed with it, I know the GM guys love them. I'm not much of a Dodge fan but the Cummings has never let me down other than blowing a fuel line (dealer fault). That thing will start first time reguardless of how cold it is, I can't say that about any of the Fords Ive had. And it will pull my 48' with two cars up anything east of the Mississippi without slowing down.
It's gonna be a cool truck when your done!
