WHAT GM SHOULD HAVE BUILT

would also be the mounting location for the rear axle traction bars and had those plasma cut at Zerr Engineering before being welded at Linco. New shock towers also had to be fabricated to accommodate the large ADS Racing coil over shocks with remote reservoirs and dual rate springs for a comfy ride that could also handle the rough stuff when needed. The shock towers are tied together and strengthened by a bolt in brace that was designed and fabricated to run over the Duramax engine and strengthen the front of the frame while giving it a unique look. Virtually all the axle and suspension components were powder coated in gloss black, white or candy blue by Extreme Powder Coating in Troy, MO and they were bolted together with stainless steel hardware to make sure it would stand the test of time no matter what elements it was exposed to.

Moving rearward the chassis modifications continued with plasma cut plates to box the frame as well as additional crossmembers welded in place to prevent

From any angle the custom suspension is nothing short of amazing, the ADS Racing coil overs support the weight of the truck and Duramax engine and use a dual-rate spring setup for a smooth ride that can also soak up the big bumps in the rough. To help make it easy to turn the big 39.5-inch Boggers they installed a PSC hydraulic steering assist system. Looking below the truck you can see that the powder coating did not stop with the suspension and chassis components. The upper oil pan and Allison transmission case were both coated gloss black while the PPE Diesel oil pans were both given a candy blue coating along with the transfer case housings. Custom fabricated LDP traction bars eliminate axle wrap when the loud pedal is mashed. Also notice the FASS lift pump and filter system that is mounted inboard on the frame rail.
