Thanks guys! The 3rd gen grill wasnt hard at all to put in...doesnt quite line up up with the side markers but you can do some trimming to make them match....I wasnt too worried about it.

Makes me feel good that people are liking my truck.

So I got my 63 spring swap done. Had it done by Creeping Rocks Specialties. Travis did an awesome job! Got it done in half a day.

Few pics

Springs in


Shackle angle is awesome


Re-located shocks....getting longer ones soon.


Ill get some pics of it later sitting flat and flexed.

 

Nice! Awaiting pics!

 

Ok so I took her out a little bit earlier today...this is what I got.

Here she is sitting level. Rear axle scooted back just a touch.

Flexed in my buddies ditch lol

Need to do some trimming. I need a more solid from end too

Need longer shocks....those will be ordered next week. I have little more room until im on the overload.....shocks maxed out.

Found snow along the way.

Slid in the ditch and hit a tree



I made a video too....uploaded it to Youtube with my phone....now I cant find it lol Ill get it up tomorrow.

Hope you all like it.

 

Wow, that looks great! It sits perfectly level. How's the ride with them springs?

 

Thanks man! Yeah it rides realy nice actually...I love it already.

Dont listen to them. SAS are over rated. Most people that do them havent even taken their IFS to the lmits.
Not to mention your truck will go more places than alot of solid axle rigs.
The springs look pretty good man.

 

Ditto-I have no plans to SAS my truck but I feel like so many people act as though a solid axle is something you can't do any serious wheeling without.

 

And rattlewagon is a very good example.
And now you will be as well!

 

Yeah Im content with IFS. I like to show up all the solid axle guys when I can go just as many places as them. I think being locked in the front helps make up for lack of arcticulation in the front.

I love these sprnigs so far...havent really tested em yet....I need longer shocks.

 

I"ll be there to wheel IFS soon. but im broke and cant pour money into my rig.
For some reason i just keep buying guns

 

You commin down man? I need an IFS buddy lol I broke friday...lost my brakes up granite...that was a fun ride back down lol

Guns are good though...I never go in the woods without something.

 

Looking Good man! If I get any time in the next couple of weekends, I will be heading up wasson canyon. Should get hit with some good snow this week, I let you know!

 

Thanks man! yeah for sure. Im always down for wheelin with new people at new places!

 

Nice build man gotta good set up

 

Why thank you.

 

My 2 cents run what u want i dont need to sas but i am because i think it looks better than ifs but my did is going to take ny ifs and put it on the rear of another truck we have so to each his own!

 

Yeah im content with IFS for now....my truck does really well for what I do. If I ever get another rig again and make this a wheeler only....then ill get crazy with it.

 

Yeah, im movin back down in a few months. Have you been through john peak?
Yeah im gonna start budget building my truck. welded the rear.
Make cheap sliders, anything that can be done on the cheap haha

 

Nice man. Lookin forward to it. I havent been up there no. Any good?

I want sliders....I put a good dent in my rocker panel....playing on a log pile at my house lol Damn near rolled it. That would have been embarrasing.
