this will be kinda a pick up post for l2en's sad sad post!.

I took the rear shocks and my steering stabilizer off and painted them silver and then cleared them.........then put the black boots back on them......match my truck now and are not all rusted! I still have the front 2 shocks to do but they are going to be a PITA to get off........

I also put on my diff cover last week! i love it......i am still considering painting it!

and a couple weeks ago i did the second factory fog light switch mod....i hooked this switch up to my projector lights.......i just cut the stock bezel, then used bondo to shape it....i still have a little work to do to it yet!

 

oooo btw......dont say nothing about the stacked blocks.....i have chevy leafs to put in and shackles to go in......

 

At least someone out there is enjoying their truck

 

ahhhhh you will have another one.......just at a fork in the road!

 

Looks good man, as much work as you are doing to it just keep it.

 

i was so about to man!! But you gotta do what you gotta do. At least youve got a factory block in there to hold things straight. Stackin blocks is pretty common in a lot of lifts ive seen installed lately.

you have any other pics of how that stabilzer is mounted to the crossmember? i am doing mine tomorrow and the crappy black and white pics on the instructions suck!

 

i am going to i think! I am prolly going to get gears by the end of next month......you should come down and help me install them!

 

looks good man..

you still selling?

 

HAHA if I was only closer man. I have alot of stuff coming up thats going to drain me so thats a no go. Wish I could.

 

that isn't a bought stabilizer......the upper bracket on the crossmember is a stock '79 F-150 stabilizer bracket....it is the bracket that attached to the tie-rod and the other i had my cousin make in his fab shop...............i had the steering stabilizer shock that was new, and have another if i can figure out how to make a second stabilizer work i will install it!

i just held the bracket in the center of the lowest point and marked it with a sharpie....then pilot drilled then drilled the 2... 1/2" holes......the i put the shock on that bracket and pulled the cylinder out half way, put the other bracket on the tie-rod and tightend it down.....hope this helps!

 

Very nice man looks good

 

yea if someone shows up with $9,250 it is theres!

 

yea......i wish there were some more ranger guys around here, with in a 1 hour radius, that know what you, beard, and stone know........i know some but what i dont know you all do.............i dont want to pay $500 to have them installed and have never done gears before................
