rockhumper_3 · 07-07-2011, 12:36 AM

shackes. these should hold up well.

rockhumper_3 · 07-07-2011, 12:38 AM

steering. just installed it right before i went to bed.

rockhumper_3 · 07-07-2011, 07:01 AM

gonna button up my steering today. waiting on brakeline adapters then she'll be a driver. im going to do the shocks next week

rockhumper_3 · 07-07-2011, 07:08 AM

who makes the best ram assist kit to get? that wil be next on my list

farfromhome63 · 07-07-2011, 10:42 AM

Nice, your gonna need longer shackles for those springs. I was using 7 inch eye to eye to get full flex.
Be carefull those springs also bend really easy, you might pick up another set and use the longer leafs so you double them maybee even cut them so its more progressive.

Now I need to get my ass moving.

rockhumper_3 · 07-08-2011, 12:51 PM

they are 6" shackles. im gonna have to limit up and down travel. up for fenders and down, because at full droop my pinion angle is totally fawked. oh and i have to run a bent tie rod because my secter shaft is dead nuts above my tie rod and only about 2.5" above it. things get really tight and tough when keeping a truck low.

rockhumper_3 · 07-08-2011, 12:54 PM

oh and what vehicle did you have these springs under?

rockhumper_3 · 07-09-2011, 12:14 PM

bleeding the brakes today and taking her for a test drive

rockhumper_3 · 07-10-2011, 09:13 AM

did the old 70mph test. she drives great with 0 issues. im extreemly happy now

rockhumper_3 · 07-12-2011, 02:07 AM

need money for adapters now.

rockhumper_3 · 07-12-2011, 02:08 AM
