we put 2" spacers on the front
extended stock  links 2" and made adjustable
nothing on rear for lift just air Bags

This guy is actually my neighbor! I was wondering who built that.

Absolutely the sickest camping unit I've seen. Though he didn't use it much last year. Guy was riding his ktm down the street on the ice a couple days ago. Crazy bugger.

thats not nice at all ..  to each there own ..    im personaly against (diesel performance )   i dont think those 2 words should ever be together .  im a heavy duty mechanic and i know what happens when u beat a diesel .  and its not good and its not cheap

but having a diesel set up to haul (  thats right haul ) a camper and able to do it through some bad arse enviroments then thats cool crap .. but as long as this guy doesnt try to run it down the 1/4 mile

Wouldn't those tires be terrible for long highway drives? Which I assume a rig like this would be doing quite often. That said, I have never heard of or seen those tires before so who knows.

This build is pretty cool, but driving a 5500 for work I can offer some advice for him. Take a sharpie marker and cross off the Duty on the badge. Should read Dodge 5500 HEAVY.

Thing makes like a submarine in soft ground.

i dont think they are the best i know he has vibration issues above 110 but we think thats all in the rims and tires....

they are a comercial tire believe u can get them in regular semis sizes to...
