 With as little time as 6 months to complete the project, Jim first brought his ride to the hands of Bobby at Locomotive to work the suspension. While in Bobby's hands, many things had to be installed and reworked to get the Chevy to the ground hugging height that Jim strived for. First off, Bobby would need to ditch the stock materials. The first items needing upgrade were the front spindles and shocks. To take their place, Bobby used items supplied by DJM. Having the correct items installed to bring the front down, it was time to install 2600cc fast bags in the place of the factory coil springs.

With the front done, it was time to work the rear. The first thing at hand was to notch the frame rails for some added travel room. Next, Bobby installed a 2-link set up, along with a pan hard bar. Bobby also installed 2600cc air bags in the rear for adjustability.  With the height corrected, it was time for Bobby to work some magic to get the big ass Chevy up and down with some speed. To help accomplish this, Bobby installed Versa valves and decided to use nitrogen, instead of the compressors/air tank combo as the main source of lift. Knowing that Jim may get trigger happy to show off his up and down capabilities, Bobby then installed two back up compressors and a tank welded from frame rail to rail. With the suspension needs complete, Jim took the Chevy to Luis Chapa to work some miracles with the body. While in Luis' hands, the entire front clip was removed and added to the scrap pile. To take the place of the stock metal, Jim allowed Luis to bolt up an entire Denali front clip.
