[IMG][/IMG]Well, I finally found time to finish up the lift install that I started weeks ago[ darn O/T]Here's a couple of pics. I'll call phase 4 done now.

 

lookin good, got any wide shots of it to see the height?

 

lookin' good mang .

 

Looks great...33" Mickey's? Debating going to 35's, but truck seems to run great with 33's (maybe got lucky and it's got 4.88's) My unknown 4" springs on my '81 are way too stiff...what springs did you go with?

 

Finally got around to finishing up making the greaseable rear shackles[darn work O/T]. Took it out into the back of the acerage just to see what still needs "tweeking". Now I have to find time to lift the box 2" to match the front body lift & put on the rear "body armour" so i can have something to bolt/screw the new Bushwacker fender flares onto in the rear[lol]. The "lift" is a conglomeration of parts that started out as a used 4" lift. I had the springs "matched up", I diamond cut the ends, polished the leafs, Teflon coated the friction surfaces and made my own rear shackles to get the ride height to what I wanted. With trail gear on board, it should settle at 3.5 inch at each end. {Note: it had to still be able to fit under a 7' garage door, hence, my choice to "start" with 33"s, 3.5" lift, 2" body lift.}
The gearing will have to be changed out sometime, looking at 4.88 and maybe a 4:1 in the T/C.
Snorkel [parts sitting here] Lockers, Rollbar, suspenion seats,V6 or small block, etc,etc.......LOL, it never ends.

 

Did you make that front bumper? Looks great, perhaps you could post some close up shots of it and some more description.
