I'm hanging the 44044s this week and was wondering how much there going to flatten out. Any chance you could give me a eye to eye measurement?

:beer: :)

Shipping my steering box to Lake Rat this week!
:flipoff2:

wow... OS work'n on the rig.... what'll be next ;)



sure, I'll run a tape on them tonight, they should be nice and settled by now :D


I used the listed 47" for setting mine up, then played with the shackle lenght to get them like I wanted.


Keep thge clamps on them. Don't listen to Hooper. I've heard a number of people brealing waggy springs, and most all of them run no clamps... they flex pretty darn well on their own.


FYI, I extended the frame when I did mine, next time I won't, no need, they are only 1/2" longer in the front than the stockers. I was originaly running some IH pu springs...

Uh huh. Don't take the clamps off. Rusty hasn't needed to, and look how well he does at the mall.... ;)

OS: The springs are sitting right at 46.125-46.25", with about 3" of arch.

Thanks a bunch! :beer::D:beer::D

OS- where did you get your brake lines? What type are you using? I need a set for Amanda's junk!

Stockcar products has the banjo bolts and all the brake fittings you will need. Did you swap a chebby d44? Yours is 8 lug right?

Yep! 8-lug Chebby D44 w/PartsMike Hy-steer components. Now I need brake lines. Where is Stockcar products located?

2wd Chevy PU lines.

Work great, nice and long, correct fittings for the caliper, you will need an 3/16" Inverted Flare to 1/4" Inverted Flare adaper(s) to addapt to Stock Scout hard lines, or get some 3/16" Line and bend up a new front hard line hoop.




or you could build your own as OS suggested.


Also heard recently (not experianced) that Chev VAN lines are super long.....

Thanks Rusty! The stock lines are sh!t! So I'm running new 3/16" hard lines. I'll check out the Chevy flex lines :)
