Nice man… that kit works great and is cake to install. This is from memory, and my brother could clarify if I am wrong. 8 gal tank, 2 Viar 490’s (100% duty cycle cap), 1/2" valves and plumbing all over. Tire will be around a 26" I think he said. we is looking for new old school 16" steelies, but they seem to be hard to find. So we might be getting some stock steelies and running a smaller tire width wise up front on a 7" wheel or what ever they are wide stock. then getting the same wheel widened out back to a 9 or 10 to get a wider tire out back, to keep with the hot rod theme he is going for. > [@FS: 2005 RR EVO 8 \*\*PICS\*\*](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-2005-rr-evo-8-pics/26945/111): > > will do if i had ur number! lol ill try and drag v8lonoma with me 2 lol PMd, I thought u had it. ---

viar 480’s will work great on a 8 gallon. should get some good speed out of 1/2" to. thats awsome that this thing will lay on a 26" tire. whats the plans for the bed floor? you doing a raised/factory floor, sheetmetal? ---

TBD. Not sure yet. the bed will get mocked into place soon and then we can put all the stuff we need in place to see what we can do. We also wanted to flush in a beer cooler in the bed also! The back frame behind the axle those mounts are for the tank and the two compressors. then above that we will mount the cooler, and the fuel tank will be behind the cab, flush into the bed floor. More than likely it will be a raised sheetmetal floor, a few inches below the bed rails. Then maybe put a snap on cover, so when you unsnap it its a LOL when there isnt more and an inch of storage under it! haha ---

It more than likely will be a smoothed out bed, raised how ever high to clear the top of the air tank and the fuel cell, then tub it like you said. ---

Pass side floor is done U channels are in on the drivers side, just need to skin it and start on the tran tunnel. The body drop looks like alot, and it was, about 7" drop total over the stock body/frame… but we measured my ranger and we only lost 2.5" of head room in the cab. Custome floor FTW. ![http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk94/kkkustom2/truck5.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/3/6/360882a1771248e63a3d66eea17b6528002decd4.jpeg) ![http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk94/kkkustom2/truck4.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/1/812bdaed03edd7817c7669375dbc6a8dad870c74.jpeg) McFlurry poped in to see the show and lend a hand. We got the bed sectioned and cut down to match the rockerless cab and front fenders. then we cut the center out of it and put it in position. ![http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk94/kkkustom2/truck3.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/7/e/7ef79426946f3e86a4e73001ac5c2fa1c2d4ae69.jpeg) ![http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk94/kkkustom2/truck1.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/1/5/15c9b2638000b64a7d0c4b39a5b5030dc412f034.jpeg) > [@Dow cracks 14000!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/dow-cracks-14000/32493/41): > > Needs more low.

As it sits now, the front fenders tuck the center hub cap on the shop wheels! **With the rest of the body drop, We think it will tuck front lug nuts, and maybe axle hub in the rear!** Quoted for truth.
