scaled the truck this afternoon.

Left Front 1498
Right Front 1398
Right Rear 975
Left Rear 950

that is Sprung weight.

why is there so much difference between the two sides, shouldn't it be relatively(sp) closer?

zabeard 11-21-2008 09:05 PM

steering wheel, battery, power steering gear, front driveshaft, tansfer case. etc... all on the drivers side.

My estimate of 1200 per corner up front is looking to be pretty good.

zabeard 11-22-2008 06:10 AM

that is it. good guess on that.

So is that when your starting on it i wish i was closer id like to see that thing in person i geuss ill have to wait till may 28-31.

zabeard 12-01-2008 08:05 PM

Some where in that time frame. We will see. I am in no rush now that I have a DD, so when it gets done it gets done. I may not even do it this winter. I am not really sure at this point.

zabeard 12-06-2008 06:00 PM

Spent a few hours on it today. Just some tear down. Too much stuff around the bender to bend tube right now.

Glad to see your getting rollin Zach. I'm sure once your done with school you'll be very busy with this.

Dang your truck spends a lot of time under the knife. Looks like it's coming along nicely. I weighed my truck recently and it was about 4400-4500.

After talking to Andrew and using the Billavista calc for spring rates, I am going to go with the following.

14" Sway Away Coilovers 2.0" body
Dual Rate kit
12" 250lb/in tender eibach coil
16" 350lb/in main eibach coil

I want to call poly performance at lunch to see what they think and maybe order them today.
