Can’t wait ti see how it handles. I’m watching, I’m going ti do mine next winter
Keep up the videos!!!!
Thanks Man!!!
Build is coming along nicely!!! Are you going to get the bed lining off the truck and paint it at some point or are you going to redo the bed lining?
Not Sure Yet, it’s pretty old and pretty stuck on there, kind of like the old bed lined patina look haha
@Kole Richards it looks good the way it is I was just curious. Definitely has a sleeper look to it.
Any more updates on the LB7 you just picked up coming up or did you already flip it?
@@kylew7505 Videos to Come! Just Want to get the First Gen Wrapped up so my Bay is open, and can work on it!
@@KoleRichards sweet!!!
I think that's bad ass your pops enjoy working with you that's cool
Can I get the link to this please and thank you
Power to you hope your channel blows up.
Appreciate it brother 👊🏼
Finally finished my search of over 2 years to find my 1st gen
It's the identical age as me and even sold on my birth month spec the way I would order it if it was me. It's a dream come true just shaking it down over the last few months.
So how much difference did you notice over stock? And did your turning radius increase? Thanks
Way better then stock, turning radius decreased cause crossover isn’t meant for stock height vehicles but didn’t effect me!
Hey Kole, Does your steering arm make a thump noise when turning the steer all the way? I’m thinking mines does it because of the bends in the tube and rod ends.
Can’t say mine does, mine hasn’t made any noises that I have noticed
Did you lower your gearbox?
@@RolonELWelda there kit relocates it for you, I believe it is lower
Weird, plenty of room on my FFS kit
Yeah I wasn’t to concerned haha nothing a little crescent wrench can solve haha
Exactly looks like the tie rod is put in upside down mine swoops under my cross member and they installed mine
Great video. I am going to move that bend a little. I had reasons to keep it tight but I do want to try to avoid unnecessary modifications. The zero lift steering is tight and was a mod most people said you just can’t do on a non lifted truck most of my life so the time came to make one. If i do move the bend down more than necessary, another change or advantage we can do is shorten the axle steering arm, then you will get all the steering back. Just takes a lot to change production parts for a small company like us. Much appreciate. We will keep in touch
No worries Darrell, appreciate you watching the video and I honestly have no complaints with the kit! Little Modifications for better steering that is aftermarket I think is just par for the course! Only other thing I did notice is my leaf spring makes contact with my pitman arm bolt I’m assuming on bumps and stuff little to much negative arch in these 33 year old springs 😂
Bad ass builds coming out nice
Kole I just noticed there was no spring on top of your king pin bushing when you put the cap back on. Or was it stuffed inside the cap around 5:19?
It was just stuffed in the cap, Appreciate the heads up!!!
@@KoleRichards oh copy that. Good deal.
What happens when you take it to a shop for a front end alignment.?
Tie rods and crossover heim joints can be adjusted

I have a 1991 D250 or 2500. Where did you find those headlights? I'mglad I stumbled on to this video as I'm starting the restoration process of my 1st Gen
Amazon my guy was like 80$ best money I have spent it’s like my second video on the channel just look on Amazon for a 5x7 headlight
@@KoleRichardsso a couple of noob questions. First are they sold in pairs? Second do you need a new relay setup or are they plug and play? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for any help. I appreciate it
@@alandowney4458 in pairs and plug and play!
@@KoleRichards thank you very much.🤓
Nothing like spending that kind of money on a kit and end up having to drill bigger holes and clearance your crossmember
I think drilling the knuckles is pretty common but yeah crossmember would of been nice to not have to!
How much to do this setup?
I think I was around 1600$ from Farfromstock
@@KoleRichards ahh that’s not as bad as i thought. i have a 87 but it’s gonna be a hunting truck once i get a cummins so i was trying to see if it would be something i would want to invest in. tight steering is very nice to have though lol.
thank you for the response
nice 🤙 boutta do this on my truck. how long did it take you guys to do this?
This was all filmed in a day!
@@KoleRichards how many hours would you say?
@@samonaballs123 5-6 I would say
