very nice job.

 

lol....

 

ya sounds like a fuel cell in the back where the spare used to be would be better!

 

Looks good, too tall, but lets not get into that convo again. One thing that I dont like is the rear shackle angle, looks like that could use some major help. Can we get a direct side shot of the rear shackles.

 

rear shackle looks pretty straight up and down to me.......that is the way it should be...

 

the rear shackle should have some angle towards the back of the truck not perpendicular to the ground, and in a couple pics it looks like the passenger side shackle is pointed a hair or two forward.

 

Some quick tech, if the shackle is completly vertical, then very little flex can be achieved, as the spring drops when flexing the shackle needs to be able drop with it (comming closer to vertical), if the shackle is already vertical at ride height it has no were to go but inverted (pointing forward), which can have some bad effects.

 

looks great dude cant wait to see it

 

Looks badass man, i love it.

Have you had it on the expressway driving yet? I'd like to know how it drives and handles from 0-70.

I wanna see some flexing now!!

 

Wow, that is how I want my truck to look!!!

 

I don't know if you said or anything because I didn't read everyone's posts, but what are you going to do with your old lift. jw

truck looks bad *** btw

 

I wonder how you brake too, lol...My braking isint the best with 35s, idk how you guys do it with larger tires..

 

stop sooner

 

Well i have figured that out since i have had them on my truck for 6,000 miles.

I meant larger tires than what i have....35"+

Im talking if i had to stop to dodge an accident or something crossing the road, i would be screwed..

 

That's looking great man... i have a question for ya and if ya could get a pic for me that would be GREAT!

I noticed you moved the front spring perch slightly more towards the chunk than the stock location... i will have to do this as well and i was wondering how you ran the u-bolts through... did you drill another hole in part of the chunk? Also, how did you run a u-bolt on the other side? Did you round off the part where the stock spring perch is?

I appreciate any help you could give me!

 

Just about full (7/8 full). It took me abit of figuring before I realized that's what was causing it.

 

Believe me, you don't know how many times I mounted, cut, moved, remounted, etc. the rear hangers. All because I kept shifting the weight on the rear (moving stuff in/out of the bed while I was using it as storage space). When I finally realized this, I kept pretty much just my old leafs in the bed for abit of weight to get the angle I want (just about the angle of the front shackles). I have a camper shell (probably around 100 lbs.) that will go on the back soon for my move. Therefore I wanted to have that similar weight on the rear and not have the shackle be at like 45* or steeper with weight. And besides, the leafs arn't called long travel for nothing. They drop down a good several inches without a forced flex. Not to mention having the shackles just slightly "back" of vertical (similar to the front shackles) achieves the greatest amount of lift. So believe me, I know where you are coming from and ALOT of thought went into all of the engineering; those hangers arn't the only thing that I re-did more than once!

 

Opinions are like ***-holes...

Just giving ya some sh*t!

 

I'm upgrading the stock Waggy single-piston calipers to Bendix double-piston as well as using cross-drilled rotors.

 

Lots and lots and lots of GRINDING to get the fit just right!

 

Already sold the RCD dood.

 

Im glad to see some people still have their funny bone...

 

NICE, keep us updated on that.

I would defidently give keith a call when you need brake lines for those new brakes.

 

That's what I thought... looks like I have some grinding to do this weekend!

Thanks alot man!
