Cut my rear leaf spring shackles out. Im gonna take them to friend to drill the holes and then I'm gonna round off the corners.

 

Leaf shackles are done. My buddy really Helped me out and rounded off the corner for me too. (They wouldn't be that good if I would of rounded it by hand with a plasma and grinder)

Now, I can finish the rear suspension and get the 14 bolt under the toy

 

I also order some wheels the other day. Raceline steel beadlocks. I can't decide on tires....

 

Truck is gonna be the tits What part of Georgia are you from?

 

Cumming. Im north of ATL.

 

Got some stuff done over the last couple days. The wheels came in and I welded the rear hangers on...

 

Gotcha. I work for Forsyth county, live up in Cleveland.

 

The 14 bolt is in!

 

Took the 14 bolt back out to paint it for final assembly. Tommorow i need to pull the leafs to paint them too. I also bought tires! More info on that later

 

The tires showed up! I ended up going with 39.50 X 15.00 Super Swamper tsl bias.

 

I mounted the wheels and tires. Was a PITA like all beadlocks are but im done with all 4. I also painted my rear 63" springs.

Truck is looking awesome man. Cant wait to see it finished. When you get it done let me know and we can hit some trails in N GA.

 

Thanks she's getting there. We can definitely go wheel when its done.

 

Re-assemblied the rear end for the last time. I also put the gas tank back in and replaced all the rubber fuel lines because the stockers were rotted out. I also put the rear caliper brackets on and made a list.

 

Pressed the rotors and new studs in the rear hubs yesterday. Then put the hubs and wheels and tires on to see how shes gonna look.

 

Looks good.

 

I have been fighting with the rear brakes and I finally got the calipers pins to clear the rotors. I also painted the calipers because they were rusting just sitting in the shop.

 

Looking good! I really dig those wheels!

 

Looks great!

 

thanks. I'm really likin the wheels so far.
