Thanks.

The 3 springs, that's the way the guy was selling them on ebay. I'll probably sell the third.

Working by myself today so it's a little slow going. Right now I can't get the pass. side bumpstop to come off. So before I go ****ing nuts, I figured I come inside and cool off.

I also need to get my friends hi lift over here. I can't get the leafs up in there without the truck being higher. I need to just go and buy myself one. On with the pics...

New shackles and u-bolts.

Driver's side bump w/ extension. If I can ever get the damn pass. side off it will look like this too.

Alright, beer drunk and cigarette smoked. Maybe now I can get that thing off.

They give you bump stop extensions with the kit. So I'm using them.

Don't know if I'll ever need them to be there, but they're going on!!

Damn bumpstop!! bayghywae byejhut6rd yhdsghdeshgtdfsh :headache: Need one of these :439:

Looks good man, I might be interested in that third spring, how much are you looking for it.

seed60 10-25-2008 05:50 PM

I'll probably put it on ebay to see how much money I can get out of it. I was thinking $150 or so.

Gotta recoup some of this money I been throwing at the truck.

99ranger4x4 10-25-2008 05:51 PM

yea.. but then you gotta buy another leaf pack, and then you'll have 3 unless you can find someone just selling one as well. or the company will sell one individually.

04blackedge 10-25-2008 05:53 PM

You can get them individually off of summit

seed60 10-25-2008 06:02 PM

99ranger4x4 10-25-2008 07:58 PM

edit: actually they may be 4, he's using the RCD shackles.. if they are 6 he's gonna have a hell of a rake probably.

04blackedge 10-25-2008 07:59 PM

rangerboy101 10-25-2008 08:23 PM

zabeard 10-25-2008 09:02 PM

yeah they are 6"

I am not sure how you are going to use those Ubolts.... but hey looks good so far.

seed60 10-26-2008 09:24 AM

A friend came over and helped me finish up for the most part. I forgot to do the drive shaft spacer. So that's getting done today and I still have a couple loose ends to fix up (recheck everything, breathers, coilover adjustment, and ...).

Almost done....

Yeah, the u-bolts are long. I wasn't sure if they would work at first without the stock block. But there is just enough thread on them to get everything tight.

I probably need to hack them down some.
