Another FNG


For now I think yes then down the road was thinking the Chevy Leafs

Did you use your stock shackles with your conversion?
Mine has brand new shackles I was wondering what the conversion takes for the rear He would sell the stuff to me for 200 then I need to get the other stuff but the 6 inch kit is http://www.ntwonline.com/83-97_RANGER_6_SPECIAL_W_SHOC_P12793C787.cfm

I didn't use my stock shackles i used 2" lowering shackles off of ebay (same as belltech 6400s) they were like $30-$40

Alright, let me come up with the combinations for the different amounts of lift do for the chevy leafs....

63" springs, extended shackle (not flipped) w/o stock block will get you around 3". (minus the overload leaf on the chevy leafs, just 3 chevy leafs)
This is what I tried and it sat .5"ish too low in the back with a 4" suspension lift..

63" springs, extended shackle (not flipped) with stock lift block will get you about 5" (minus the overload leaf on the chevy leafs, just 3 chevy leafs)
What I plan on doing when I finally get off my ass so I'll have a slight rake.

63" springs w/ overload leaf, 2" extended shackle (not flipped) and the stock block will get you about 6"

All you need for the chevy leaf swap is about 8 half inch x 1.5" in length grade 8 bolts and nuts, the chevy leafs, can almost guarantee you'll need the extended shackles for enough lift..., And maybe 2 3/8 grade 8 bolts and nuts (don't remember the length, depends on how many leafs you end up using so maybe 1.5 or 2" long, might as well grab both lengths) to replace the studs holding the chevy leafs together IF you take a leaf or 2 out of the chevy leaf pack. If the bolts that hold the leafs in the hanger and shackles are rusted or old, they are 14 millimeter x 4" in length, i got mine at napa but reused most of my old good ones, they can be pricey.

If you got any questions, don't hesitate to ask, this swap is very fresh in my mind, lol :icon_thumby:

And for what its worth, you might as well do a chebby leaf swap in the first place, its cheap and awesome, and much better than stacked blocks.

So you got the lift FINALLY! woot! Looks like the ttb lift is far less complicated than an IFS lift (not that an IFS lift is all that complicated, god you have so many less parts looking at a picture of all the parts together in the tech library) Take lots of pictures, Having a torch must be nice!
