Well first time on Red Cone/Webster yesterday. I think I removed a little bit too much from my Superlift rear 1980 Toyota pickup springs. Kinked both springs coming up a ledge which totally jacked up my pinion angle. Also my rear brakeline got caught up and ripped in half (I knew I should have tied the bastard off :shaking: ) Luckily I had an old front brakeline in the bed and was able to find a bolt that could plug it most of the way with as little pissing as possible. Anyway had to come down the steep hill with no brakes.....that was a little hairy but made it out just fine. I wish I had that good of a view everytime I worked on my truck :flipoff2: Ive got new rear springs that are about 8 inches longer than stock so now I just need to figure out how to get them on!

Your question is how to get the new springs installed? If so please elaborate

just make longer shackels to get it to fit.. or make some new perches for it and the shackels

luvmeye22refi...I live in breckenridge just a pass or two from red cone/webster. If you need any help getting your 'yoda fixed, I can lend a hand. I have a welder if you need to relocate the shackle mounts.
I haven't made it to red cone this summer yet; how is it? I'll be doing a little sunday drive over gerogia pass this evening then heading to buena vista to try caranage canyon w/ some friends.

Got the brakes fixed just dont have the experience with springs and shyte nor to i have the hookup to put them on. If I had the hookup they would be on now. Have a shot of getting them on by friday.....if so we should meet there. I would love to do red cone with brakes :flipoff2: Red cone was good though I loved it.... excellent view and a fun trail despite a bad day with the rig. If you really can help with the springs I will buy new spring hangers and drive there, I just dont want to be a pain in the ass. If you have time and energy to burn though please email me it would be greatly appreciated and paid back in a good way.
