Awesome truck man. While I love everything off road, truck racing isn't the highest on my list, but that is one sweet looking truck especially since its a second gen pickup. Good luck on your racing!

It's not necessarily built for lift, yes it sits higher than stock, but it's designed for wheel travel and strength more than anything. The arms are custom built, extended 6 over per side. It's right at about 16" of wheel travel.

Motor is a 22R, ported head, oversize stainless valves, weber 32/36, cam, downey header, no cat, flowmaster race muffler. It's the meanest sounding 22R I have ever heard. DMZ Fabrication built the truck.

I would step it up to the 38/38 weber... way better performance then the 32/36.

Anyone want to trade carbs!

and for the fenders, I'm not sure, probably glassworks or hanneman.
