ah so they are jeep wheels?? ill start looking then um so you can raise it with the torsion bars??? lol me and my friend andrew were talkin bout that and i was like i think i can raise the fron a lil with the torsion bars he said no lol bad ass well we will see how this lift goes n if i need to ill do it lol

 

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET i just scored a set of 5! jeep wheels 5 on 4 1/2 15in wheels WITH tires for 50bucks!! hell yeah now i am set untell i get the mud tires!! hell yeah

 

OK so i have a problem, i put on the 3in body lift on the cab I LOVE IT but .... my throttle linkage is ed up, ok so i lifted it set it down bulted it down and was going to drive it i got in to start it and my gas peddle would not move! at all. so i was like wtf.. i started it and everthing was ok then i pushed my pedal down n it stuck, i looked at it and what it is, is the throttle linkage bracket is it too high i unbolted it and then everything was fine, besides the idle woudlnt go down cuz it was just haning there basically. so my quesiton is how do i fix this? i looked it over and the best think i can think of is to get some spacers to bring the bracket forward towards the engine, then bring it down a lil that way its bout where it was stock????? thats the only real issue i have had other then my fan was hitting a hose clamp and stopped spinning so i over heated lol. any idea thanks sorry for the long message.

 

Any ideas on the throttle bracket?? i am thinking to relocate it?

 

Any particular reason that a thread about a 1980 truck is in the 86-95 forum?

 

This is where Abe is... if you want an opinion go to where the pro lives.

 

sorry thats my bad i am new didnt find a forum for 1980s ... thanks sorry too

 

yeah you have to get a spacer, i forgot about that, i had one laying in my tool box i used, i used like a 3/4 inch aluminium spacer i had, with a longer bolt adn bam, problem solved

 

yeah but see my problem is is it needs to be mounted lower?? did you ahve that problem? but yeah i am getting a spacer for them tommorrow not sure if i need to mount it lower or what....

 

well mine was a 2inch bodylift, not a three, so you most likely need to mount it lower. did you get a shifter extension? do you have the extended tube for the gas tank?

 

no shifter extension and i drove it already it is fine but do i still need it? and no i dont have the extended tube for the gas tank lol

 

well your gonna need a longer tube for the gas tank, so dont lift the bed til you get it,
and i hate having the 2 inch body lift and that short stick, the shifter extender just makes it so the stick is the height it should be.

 

look how short the shifter was:

 

oh i dont mind it shorter its alright, and where do i get that extender???? lol

 

the shifter extender or gas tank tube?

 

yes. where would i find that and how much would it cost do you think? or would i have to make it basically??

 

opps gas tank extension thingy

 

do you have a second mode of transportation?

 

mine came in my kit, just take it off and run it down to ace hardware or whatever local place around you that has tubing at various lengths and pick some up and hose clamp it on there

 

OH NICE and yes i have a car lol ... ill do that tommorrow then so what kinda metal/plastic or rubber tube should i get??? and how do i throw it all together?? sorry if im asking stupid quesitons lol i normally dont do 2wd work but its my truck n i want it big n better hahaha Im hopefully getting a 4x4 soon
