Yes Junkie, I am in the process of puttin' a 6'' Skyjacker class 2 in. I never realized how much work it really is. I wish now I woulda paid 'em to do it no. The old brakets and cross mamber were a real b1tch to get off cuz they were riviited. And I burnt a hole in the spedo cable with the torch, and hit 2 of the sending unit wires going in the treansmition.
Junkie, I just did that tonight. We'll see how it elighns. Will it help? I'l also have pics soon of everything.Reg cab 4.0L...
What I would do, is put the drivers side axlebeam in the top hole (big bracket), and the passengerside beam on the bottom hole (cast bracket).
For reasons I have not yet been able to figure out, Skyjacker positions the holes a bit different on the passengerside than the driverside
In some cases, I've found drilling a 3rd hole between the two that are there (on the cast bracket) to be even better still.
It should help, yes.
Thanks man. I allready go it all in and everything tight. I used the holes you told me. I allready got the cast iron bracket in (that was a major b1tch taking out the original one) and don't feel like taking it out to drill a hole inbetween the the bottom and I don't feel like taking it out to drill a hole now cuz there. Does it really matter? If they have trouble aligning it then I might eventuall hafta. Also I wish I woulda spent more money and gone with new leafs in the rear instead of a block, I hear blocks suck and I will get wheel hoop, and it also look "cheap." I'll see how the blocks work, if they work fine I'll leave 'em, if not I'll be gettin' some Softride Skyjacker leafs for it here very soon.
