So this is just the rear set up....
It has explorer 1998 4 leaf springs, belltec 6400 drop shackles, and 2 degree pinion shims (i think i put it in right..thick side of wedge in front)
It only gave me a 2.25 inch raise in the rear... AND the trans is not in the truck (being rebuilt) so it's prob more like 1.75" to 2" I was under the impression it should be like 2.5" to 3"???
I'll be making front spring perch shims on my break lathe from some old hubs we had at work. I figure I measure center of wheel fender to ground on rear and front and make the shim a little thicker>???
Rear 34.25" to ground
Front was 32" to ground
So i'd make a 2.5" spacer???? and trim as need be?
