Holy Cow, new page already? It hasn't been much more than an hour and a half. Good thing there are photos on that last one, even though it's not of my own rig. hahahaha.

I stopped after the first one. It would be drivable, but I didn't want to mess around with it till I found out if it was tacked or not and be beating on it for no reason. lol.

good luck with it, if you dont feel like drilling you might be able to take a screw driver to the side of the nut and hit it with a hammer. those welds dont hold up to much usaully

na this hasn't convinced me yet. And have you forgotten my truck is now raked in the back by at least 1.5"-2" ??? But I agree both your trucks are sitting on the overloads almost as bad as I was.

Now what we can do for at least the 88 is build up a custom pack using some of my old springs to bring the back end up.

The 92 has different leafs in the back then the 88. So doing it on yours with at least my springs isn't gonna work.

yeh...was kinda thinking that any increased lift on yours would be bad at this point.......so I guess in your case BJ spacers would be 1st.

looking at Joe's.....looks like maybe an inch-and-a-half of space.......does it make sense (i think it does) that the sag is much worse with the motor out?

oh yeah definitely, that front end must have came up by at least an inch and a half. But it's definitely on it's overloads.

I think we should try assembling the two packs together. Especially if it's not gonna see off-road at all. Just remember the trouble we went through with my springs. Although his is pretty clean so no telling how easy or hard it will be.

Slight change of plans, might not be as funny as originally thought since I couldn't find what I was looking for. Got to wait for it to dry out some though.
