Nbs sierra front suspension redo

Brett, I'm referring to my trade offer. There's a thread and pics, not making any of this up...

Im just saying what it looks like now. It doesn't have that steering wheel, dash pad, bezel, headlights, corners, or wheels anymore.
 
Loved Del's truck, nice to see it's in good hands. For now at least. :rofl:

The guy that owns it now is an older guy, and I would hope the work I do will get me a customer for anymore work he needs on this truck

Just watch who you get to work on your vehicle...sometimes theory isn't always transferred into implementation...



I was brought this truck to do a revamp on the old front suspension.
There were plenty of bad things going on with current setup
Ball joints were extremely loose in the lowers because they weren't the right ones. The lowers had cracks. There was grease everywhere from the ball joints.

The good, the truck has ART arms and fox shocks.
Truck in it's current state

I called my buddy at ridetech I've been dealing with since 05 and he hooked me up with a new set of lowers for no charge.

Had a previous customer sell his truck and he have me the specialty suspension brackets I was going to use on his truck

So I decided to use these on this truck. I tried out 3 different spindles before settling on the nnbs stock spindle.

Truck has shaved taillights, chrome 24's, and stock nbs steering wheel. Entire interior is stock with all plastics dyed black, black leather, power captains chairs and black suede headliner.

Yeah, was talking to josh over at ridetech just trying to figure out the appropriate ball joints for the 1st design arms or just get the new style weld in cup, I sent him the pics, and he called me back and told me since I've been buying from them for almost 10 years and wasn't being an asshole about it, he was going to ship me a new set for free. Saved me a ton of work I couldn't afford to use on an already quoted job.
