We’ve had a lot inquiry from customers and follows asking about the full build plans for Project Ascension, our new 2017 Ford Super Duty diesel truck. Along with being used as the test mule for the new BDS suspension systems to fit the 2017 F250/F350 platform, this truck is getting overhauled in a matter of a few weeks to be debuted in the BDS booth at the 2016 SEMA Show in Las Vegas Nov.1-4, 2016. While all plans aren’t set in stone and other accessories will likely be added later as they come available for the new platform, the initial build will include the parts below.
