Wow it's been 2 years. So many things have happened in life since I started this build it's crazy. I didn't do a lot to the rig but did add a 2nd fuel tank. Its an aluminum tank that I modified to fit and a transfer pump to fill the original tank. We bought land building a house and moved so RV...

Thanks you too have a nice rig. It was originally 10 lug S110 rear and wide front axle I used 10x225 to 10x285 adapters for these wheels. I saw one like urs for sale on auto trader with the 40" tires already and it looks great but rear is a very tight fit u dont have much to cut out over...

1. 2014 according to the door sticker 2. about 3 inches that all u need to fit 40's but i do need to cut the fender and bumper a bit 3. still stock gear ratio what ever comes on Cab and chassis i think there is only 1 or maybe 2 different once i don't remember what it is. Drives fine i dont...

Thanks. more to come. I am working on a larger 12v refrigerator (stock fridge in these kinda sucks) and aux fuel tank that will fit between the frame rails in front of rear axle. so stay tuned in. also already purchased storage boxes for the rear bumper this is going to take some time to get too.

wow this is a cool build

So I read up on rear track bars and because I could not find a kit available I decided to make my own. I bought a adjustable track bar and grade 8 bolts from tractor supply and got some metal for brackets. brackets are welded in one on the frame and one directly to the rear axle housing. I set...

Hey I remember you. Thanks hows urs coming along? did u get to replace the battery tray? I think thats what we spoke about. I bought it on amazon "AP Products 015-201512 Slim Shade" is the one i have its about $75 now.

Hey thanks. lad to see there is more of them out here. i need to update this thread with some more info. i did a rear track bar and some interior mods/improvements. House projects have kept me busy this summer a bit.

Sorry for late reply. Missed the email update. Stock 10 lugs pattern is 10x225. Semi truck lug pattern is 10x285 so u need adapters to be able to bolt them on. Now there are companies that cut alco wheels to the same 10x225 pattern so they are bolt on. But I was only able to find them as...

Oh it looks like it will work very well and look great. If I had more time available I think I'd build one too. At this point I had to buy one but for me building would be much more fun.

thats a nice rig. Good job on the build.

So I installed the tires and balanced with about 16oz of beads from Amazon. Did the install myself actually easier then I thought it would be. So far drives fine sometimes speeds under 40 or 30 I feel some vibration. Here it is.

Update with pictures. U can see in the photo that the jacks are totaly hiding in the storage position if ur looking from the back. Also little hooks are visible that's how they hold up and away pressed against the frame rail and incase they come loose on a long drive the hooks will hold them up.

So the rv is very stable and does not really bounce inside when camping but still could be better. So I bought couple square trailer tongue jacks with extensions and welded them to the rear bumper in the gap that between rv and bumper. I cut the handles off and welded a lug nut there so I can...

I guess I missed this one update. So after a 3.5 inch lift in the front I knew my caster is going to be way off on the alignment rack. I modified my stock radius arms by expending the bottom holes about 3/8 of an inch and was going to weld in washers to make them still be very strong. This...

Went to a park for a few days so the kids can run around weather was amazing so it made for a nice relaxing mini vacation Rig handel's well on the road and the new stabilizer jacks I made work good. I'll share that in a little.

Under the rig where the stock one was.

Mine? Stock spot. I pushed it closed to the axle because of weight balance. But it fits there nicely

They are steel. After reading hundreds of pages decided steel being stronger that it will be safer. I did buy aluminum 1st and had to return them because of quality and engineering issues. Long story. Guys that sell aluminum don't recomend going less then 1.5 inch width because of risk of them...

Latest update. Onboard air So with commercial tires I know I can't really air down for rough terrain but I still wanted air to be available incase I do need to change the pressure in tires and also in the rear air bags. So I installed a craftsman air compressor in one of the storage...
