good glad you got the front done, now bring back coil compressors before thursday afternoon. :flipoff2:
didnt know that you had to put in the c bushings before everything else. so me and tommy tore it all apart again yesterday and got all of it finished except the shocks. pinion angle looks a lot better
anybody have some words of experience before i do the rear shackle reversal?
Do F350 hanger, didtch blocks and get new u-bolts. Would you rather replace schwecked up springs down the road and the u-bolts or just the u-bolts now?
Robert, measure the diameter of the axle tube and length for the u-bolts. I have an assortment of them back home that are sitting in the box. I have one's that fit 3 1/8" diameter axle as well as 3", the length's should work as well. Let me know.
the ones i have are 10 1/2". so i guess i'd need around 7 1/2. i'd guess the 9 inch tubes are at least 3 1/4. i dont know exactly
i got shocks for the front today. none for the rear for awhile. all i need to do is the shackle flip
if you jsut flip the hanger you have now you get like 1 and 5/8 inch of lift. Also do like i told you and move that new f-350 hanger farther forward.
got any pictures of yours?
All of the u-bolts I have are the length you're looking for. I'll bring some back if you'd like on Friday or so.
yea, bring em
go look at my truck like i told you to monday afternoon when we talked, no i dont think i have any pics.
Got the lift finished and took it to 47 on Sunday. Worked great. Waiting on new shocks for the rear and will probably need to lengthen the brake lines. Fixed a leak on the pass side caliper. Bleeder screw is frozen and i can't get it out. Probably will buy a new caliper.
I guess I'll move on to tires, exhaust, other shat. May also be doing a trans/tcase swap in the future. I'll post some pics of it if I can find a camera.
The back was level when i first let the jacks off of it. I guess it settled some.
Looks good robert :gigem:
Yea it does look good and the tires don't look bad on it either, of course you should go bigger though. :cheers:
looks alot better than the zj

i think i want to put a flat bed on the back of my truck. anybody seen anything cool and functional? i think i want to keep some metal above the tires.
i have insurance and registration now
I've got a set of 35x12.5x16.5 bfg muds to be sold. Actually 2 sets. One set for whatever you want to offer and is about 5 years old with 20% tread, another of the new style about 2 years old with 50% tread. And I'll throw in a 35" ssr or 36" goodyear for a spare with either, neither with tread.
why karl had to make some kustom ones
No, Karl is a rich ***** from east texas that won't spend any money at all on offroad stuff and I think he enjoys doing things as wrong as possible.
check summit, they've got plenty.
That'd be cool to do a flat/tube bed on your truck. I have several pictures of different rigs with tube/flat beds but I can't post them until I get my computer back.
tommy suggested this one. might be cool. hard to tell on CAD
Bring it inside the tires. Being able to maneuver around trees much easier without a bed is totaly worth the loss of storage space.
Numero Dos looks alot better, I like the dovetail flatbed look.
Flatbeds are sweet. :gigem:
you don't have to worry about body with a flatbed, even if it sticks outside the tires, you use it as a pivot/slide and don't get your rear tires hung up on stuff
kopecki you got a 35x16 that'll hold air?
noQuote:

need exhaust on the truck. ideas?
tail pipe out the back, its too loud inside with a dump
as long as possible, and think your a homo for taking the spool out.
yeah why did you take the spool out?
