your rollin 39's with 6" of lift in the rear????????

is that due to the D60

i finished an allpro sas with the 4" springs and i am 10" over stock (and i or allpro dont know why) and need to match the rear

I'd like to see a couple of pics of what you've done and I may be able to give you some ideas. I'd need a side pic showing the front 6" taller than the rear.
The shackle angle on level ground front vs rear and the spring mounts front vs rear.

The Dana 60s themselves don't give much if any of a lift - maybe an inch. I have trimmed the fenderwells in the rear. If you couldn't tell then that means I did a good job

I do rub a little, but my springs are reverse arched at that point. In order to level out the rig I need to add 2" blocks in the rear. I do this by welding in a block of 2x2 square tube, not by using blocks that just sit on top of the perches. I also make these about 8" long to reduce the axle wrap. By adding this additional 2" of lift, I'l be able to block the uptravel right at the point where it would rub, without sacaraficing any articulation, in fact, I may gain a few points.

The disadvantage is that it would be even taller. Currently, my width is about 82" outside bulge to outside bulge and I've gained about 1800 lbs (if my math is right) in axles and tires. This improved stability with the lower weight and wider stance should more than compensate for moving the rear up 2". This would take it up to the height that I had before I converted to the Dana 60s.

Gibby I hope you can help Customcruiser with his truck, I don't wanna see him running around PreRunner style forever, he's gota get ready for the 4ROC NC trips soon. Maybe I'll run my 85' (w/ reverse arch springs and worn out shocks) up some ramps here soon and get you some shots for this thread, I wish more ppl. had ramp shots to keep this thing going.

Since I've made just about every mistake in the book, I might be able to see what's wrong if I see some pics. I have some ideas, but I don't want to sound stupid. I'll wait to see the pics before I go off sounding stupid LOL
