ya, much taller than I actually wanted. Im sorta disapointed in the 3" springs up front. Might eventually do RUF.

Drove down to Austin today and bought some 35" MTRs already mounted on toyota wheels. I'll put them on later today.

front doesnt want to flex as much, maybe ill try loosening the shackle bolts a little..



<BR>
Should the rear springs do this??::

Nice truck. Make sure you make a lift bracket for your LSPV, or eliminate it. You probibly have almost 0 rear brakes right now....

The rear springs will do that when flexing. It definately looks like the rear shackle hanger is too far back. The angle at full compression in the pic is what it should look like at ride height. Lookin good though.

Nice looking rig.

Your workshop looks suspiciously like a dormroom.

Its actually my barracks room(im in the Army), but close enough. 90% of the work has been done in the parking lot or my room, heh.

Today i put the rear locker and 5.29's in, so i have matching gears front and back now. Finally.

Im going to order a rear driveshaft from High Angle, im getting some pretty horrible vibration. Then probably just build a square tube shaft for the front with the extra parts i have (assuming the flanges are the same bolt pattern. havent looked yet)
