Cougarfreak,

YOur truck done yet?

 

Well it's not exactly July... but It is wheelable. Took it out to Eagle Lakes for a test run and she did great. I now know skid plates need to be modified to protect better... dinged my front diff cover!!! Skids are the next order of business, and the sway bar. Then Exo and front bumper.... should be fully completed for winter wheeling... What a ride!!!

 

wow! looks great!

 

Well I finished my traction bar and am finding that it binds at the slightest droop of the rear suspension. I think my geometry is way off. the axle doesn't move back and forth while the suspension is cycling as much as I figured. I have some weak pics of it on my site. I have seen some with no traction bar but have bump stops near his hangers to minimize S-ing the leafs. I guess with Chevy 63's that's a common place to break the main leaf. Are the bump stops also minimizing axle wrap?

 

Yes, but the rear axle seals are leaking and I have a leaky head gasket. addressing those this week at a friend's shop in Vacaville. Where you at ? I can't get ahold of you by phone or by e-mail or website. You alive and well?????
