I'm tryin to set up my shock mounts and need to find a way to twist up my suspension, only problem is the truck has no motor so i cant just drive it up a ramp. any ideas?

Find a cherry picker and lift the truck up with that. Then you can manipulate 1 tire with a highlift or other means.

Two jacks and some blocks...

You could drive it up the car next door.....

Use the commuter car as a ramp :D

Mazda RX-7's work real good.

Worry about shock mounts after installing motor?? motors gotta add weight.

i'm with kyoder wait til the motors in. and whatever you do be careful we've seen the pics of you doing the axle swap in the street :rolleyes:

Hey man i only dropped it once, and i was playing with the Hi-Lift at the time. it was a perfectly safe fall, hell i didn't even scratch the paint, or myself.

I agree, shocks are the last thing I worry about mounting. Once the rig runs and drives take it to nice place that you can twist the suspension and get out and start measuring. Then you wont have shocks that limit your suspension travel.

I just tested mine with an engine mount, ran a chain thru the holes in my wheel and started lifting, works great if you don't care about the wheel finish

I tried it with the cherry picker, but i just maxed it out.. I am waiting till my bud has his overhead lift hooked up so I can test it there... I have to say, just wait.. you;ll just be hitting your head later.

I used a 49 Ford show car/drag car last month:eek: The guy was very unhappy. Finally that expensive insurance payed off!
