Holy Ginormous block batman!!

Ya, i dont lile them either, but it was the only option i could afford at the time. maybe in the future i will move my spring mount under the frame or get bigger springs. I already running 6in springs with 2in shackles.

Thanks for the pics. That gives me a much better idea of how to set mine up. So how tall is the top of your bed rail. A 6" leaf, 2" shackle, and that 6" block should put the bed at about 6 feet tall

Its a 5in rear block that I have, not sure on the rear height but I can measure tomarrow. Do plan on adding some traction bars down the road. Just want to get the 4 wheel drive done first.

 

[koa's93ranger]

Ya take a measurement if you could. I'm curious as to how tall this thing is

 

[Ford78]

The measurment to the top of the bed rail on the Box is 59.5 in. and thats with 35in tires.

 

[koa's93ranger]

Thanks for the measurement. I'll compare it to my setup tonight. Haven't seen my truck in a few days. Cut myself open while putting drop springs in my brothers car. Waiting to get rid of these stitches so I can get back to working on my truck

 

[koa's93ranger]

Was that measurement take by the tail light? Or at the front of the bed where the cab ends?

 

[Ford78]

It was taken next to the tail light.

Did a little hunting this morning, so on the way out i thought i would play a little,

Did you whack some geese/ducks or what. Duck season opens in two weeks here. Getting pumped. went deer hunting on closing day a got a pritty good but not too big forked horn. It was the last day of the season so I took it.

 

[Ford78]

No just did some squirrel hunting. Duck hunting opened last weekend for us.but never got into it. Deer hunting opens up the first week of Dec for shotgun for us.

So i have the ruff stuff 5" shackles for the rear of the front spring. I have been experincing a little shifting from side to side when i do a sharp turn one way then turn the other way right away. I know the rear spool is really pushing when im turning, which i dont mind. I also know a trac bar would fix this, but the truck handles really good other wise. Would welding the rear shackles together (like in a H) help the shifting some?

 

[koa's93ranger]

I've herd that welding it does make a difference in stability an you can feel it. Not that I know personally, but that's why I've read. Box I the center and make sure all your bolts are tight and bushings aren't worn
