63's & RUF almost done
http://thumbp14-bf1.thumb.mail.yahoo...1621&fid=Inbox
Front leafs are sitting on frame, shackles are being built tonight/tomorrow So front will come up a bit (5 leafs) Rears will get a Chevy bottom overload to compensate the front height.. (3leaf + OL) overall looks like about a 2.5-3in lift.. |
pics not working..

wow looks really nice at that height.

Clean truck
I like that tripod style jackstand next to your truck:D Would be great for bumpers/slider work |

I'm really happy with the result.. To give you an idea.. The blue truck has built up rears with RUF running 6 leafs on 36in Iroks.. Mine is 63's & 5spring RUF on 32's http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1327463785 |

Will get pics tomorrow & post.. |
cool thanks, funny story... My buddy that is helpin with the fab work on mine said he found some springs and threw them under the front one day... they are a few inches longer than the toyota rears I was going to go with... When I asked why, he said he thought i was going to put 63s in the front... lol I explained that the 63s were going out back and the rears up front... But seeing how its all mocked up I actually wouldnt mind runnin the longer springs, just haven't started on the rear shakle mount yet lol
|
I would think you would have to build them up quite a bit to make up for the weight of motor..?
Where would the axle be located with 63's up front? |
He dug up some other springs and put under there... they are off of a ford or something he was trying to save me from buying 63s as he thought that was what I was going to run up front... the ford springs are just over 50" i think not positive... they are pretty stiff
|
Copy..
For what it's worth.. I am very happy with this set up & finally understand what all the talk is about.. Tomorrow we hope to get the truck on the ramp to take measurements for shocks.. Torn right now between the 5150's & Fox Evulsion's Like the resi's on Bilstein's but being able to rebuild the Fox's is appealing.. Still need to extend rear brake line.. Next up is Hi-Steer & install PS I will be selling these tires to another friend & most likely going the a 35.. Then 5.29's & leaning towards air lockers.. |
