Looking at your pictures I love the ride hight, looks lower than my 3" TG kit! Are you right on the bump stops? it looks clouse. I keep hitting my bump stops and there still the rock hard TG ones, I need some with some give like yours, they Energy?

Trucks looks great!

i'm actually running 4+" of up travel (25.5" frame height, 37s at 30psi). i'll try and snap a pic of the current setup, but it's really just this without the spacers welded into the u-bolt plates:

(might be a little hard to make out in this pic)

the bumpstops are pretty soft, definitely a big step up from the solid TG ones. i picked them up from Poly Performance a while back... can't remember the brand.

 

i didn't know that the 2wd oil pan fits it perfect? does it matter between v6 and a 4cylinder oil pan? i think i might have to do that for clearance but i was having problems taking out the oil anyways because of the tranny plate was blocking the bolts from the back of the oil pan and i try to take that plate out but was having a hard time too. Also did u ever do anything to ur stock e-brake cable or u just left it with no e-brake.

 

i used a 3.0L 2wd oil pan, tray, pickup, and dipstick/tube. and yes, everything bolted right up. i highly doubt the 4cyl pan would work... unless you have a 4cyl, of course. not sure what "tranny plate" you're referring to, but i did have to pull off the two braces that connect the motor and tranny to get to all the pan bolts.

i haven't taken the time to figure out the e-brake situation yet, so at the moment it's disconnected.

 

Nice Mike!

I'll have to swap to some bumpstops like those ones, I'd really like to go gas ones too...

tha tranny plate is the one that protects the clutch from dirts and small rock from getting in the tranny. thats just what i call it im not sure wat it is really call.

 

Thanks a lot, I will need to do that mine are driving me nuts.

If you have a better picture or have time to get one at some time that would be awesome.

Jeremy

 

that plate on mine utilizes the same bolts as the supports, so it came out with them.

i'll try and snap a couple better pictures soon.

 

im having a big issues on my runner now, wat i did is that i welded the 3/8 pad on the wrong side of the axle perch and also i move my hanger from the front 3" forward and the front rear perch a little more than 3"forward so now after i put up the axle and trys to jack up the axle the HD leaf spring isn't lifting the car at all and wat it did is that the leaf springs push the shackle all the way back and it got stuck so i have to use the stock jack to get the shackle to pop back out. the shackle moves about 90 degree. hopefully u get wat im saying. maybe i have to move the front rear hanger back 2 more inches.

 

oh and also i have problem with the wheel stud too. i went to Autozone to buy new studs for my axle and i bought the short ones so i took it back and brung them the old ones and they said they don't carry any stud that long. thats F up so now i don't know if the dealer haves it and how much will it cost. need someone to help me out where to go find them wheel stud for my 85 str8ght axle.

 

how the hell did you move the front hanger 3 iches forward?? everything you said makes absolutely no sense to me. and when you do this kind of stuff you should take your time not just throw everything together so its safe and doesnt end up killing you or anyone else.

 

well i got a 3x2 tube which gives the car 2" more height and also trail-gears front spring hanger so total i have about almost 3 !/2 inches more height for the front. and for the front rear instead of using trail-gears jig and cut a hole through the frame i bought a standard hanger and welded underneath the frame and moved it 5" forward from stock position in the front rear. so now i have a problem with the front rear because the shackle is not working for me. so i might have to move the front rear hanger that i welded underneath my car back 2" so that the car will sit on the leaf and shackle at a right angle so it well be the same as the front because i might of moved it too much in the front rear.

 

step 1: learn how to type and spell like a normal human being

step 2: figure out exactly what you're trying to say and get help with

step 3: start sending PMs, or post it somewhere else
