just a quick question about ride height. right now i have the superlift block in the back and thats it. oh and i have the chevy drop shackle along with an AAL. when i do the swap, will i be able to run without a block and still be at the same height? or will it sit a tad bit lower?


also, what ubolts are yall runnin? ill prolly just get some made here in town but i wanted to see what yall were usin..


thanks in advance

 

I am using 5/8" Ubolts I think, maybe 3/4

as for the springs, on a stock truck you can remove the 2.5" blocks and install the 88-98 chevy 2wd 1/2 ton springs and it will sit exactly the same as it did with the 2.5" blocks.

Id suspect it would be .5" lower.

You could do like I did and move the mounts on the frame down and gain even more lift if you needed it. I gained 2"

 

Got any pics of the hangers you made?

 

yea i like that idea. any pics?

that superlift block is roughly 4". so if i take that block out and only run the 63s with my aal weaved in its not gonna be anywhere near as high right?

 

I will probably have to take some new pics because I am not sure where the originals are.

I just moved the back mounts down, so the top holes are now in the bottom ones. Then I made a piece at the bottom of the frame for the new holes.

Then the front I just drilled all new holes at the same distance down. I think I got somewhere around 1.75" - 2" of lift from it.

Ill try to get some pics tonight.

 

well you originally did your swap when you had your SL on am I correct? how did that make it sitting accoring to the SL height?

 

do you have the stock block in?

so the chevy springs lift a ranger roughly 2.5"

So if you remove the 4" superlift block, which is if i remember correctly really is 3" someone correct me if i am wrong. Then you really only need .5 of lift or at most 1.5" of lift if it really is a 4" block

 

yes at one point i had the superlift, stock 2wd chevy springs, and it sat level or a bit of rake.

I had the stock block, BEL-6400 shackles, chevy springs in the rear. It sat good. Pics, yeah Ill have to do some diggin

 

no i dont have the stock block in. i had it in but i put in the aal and the chevy shackle and took that out. sits perfect right now. once i do the 63" swap im not sure what ill do if it sags

 

oh so you had the stock block AND the 63s back there?.....that makes sense now. cuz i was wondering how you managed to keep it level

 

yup that is what i had.

 

how many leaves do you have in your pack of 63s?
