Never had to back up where they got you stuck?

Mach2_nh · 03-17-2009, 04:08 AM

Well i don't know if i would call it hardcore but its not going to do this stock.

toddw · 03-17-2009, 04:35 PM

When you guys are calling out 63" Chevy springs, what years and models are you using for a doner? I may try running a set on my low buck pre runner. Right now I'm running stock early 90's F-150 springs.

Thanks,

It is, worked for stopping the vehicle. And in case you were wondering, it's not being pulled/stretched in that pic.

Ya, it's a 1980 chevy 1-ton single wheel, d60, 14 bolt, 350,th400, 203-205, locked front and rear, full hydro steering with 38.5 boggers. I had to take 40 inches out of the frame to make it fit. I use to wheel it as a pickup but decided I wanted a more narrow body, and the jeep body was free, so that what I put on it.

Thanks,

They come in any newer body style GM trucks, try 01 to present. i got mine out of a 05 2500hd, wanted them for a little better towing in my 85 fullsize.

I believe the 2500 are 4 leaf packs with and over load and the 1500s are 2 or 3 leaves with an overload.

JeepXLC · 03-26-2009, 01:05 PM

why aren't there any tj's in this thread?

yeah it's mine. and yeah it's got leafs at all 4 corners, and yeah it way outperforms my short arm links, and finally yes it was way less costly than doing a 4 link on full width axles.

This is a sweet thread, and some bad ass jeeps

I get so tired of the ppl that think the only way to wheel is with $2000 worth of links and coilovers
