Good looking snorkel, good job!

Thanks man, when I get some more monies I'll try to find a top and finish it off, found out some good news today, I will be able to work on my truck in auto class, so it will get new ball joints tone ring and a free brake job, and whatever else I need to do to it.

If I had a 2wd I would build a prerunner, extend the beams and radius arms and jerry rig some steering and your set

Finally a legitimate update, my truck has needed balljoints for way too long, so I talked to my auto teacher, and it turns out I get a discount at Baxters, so I got all 4 moog ball joints for 150 bucks and were going to replace them next week.

Notice the list price compared to discount price

good deal Benny

it will really make a difference.....

After that my plan is to get some heep coils and new shocks, and ill use the f250 shock mounts I already have

 

[Bennybooster]

went to the auto wrecker today to look at parts, and happened apon an exploder with the leafs almost all of the way taken off and found out only 20 bucks for the pair, then I found a B2 that appears to be lifted and it has rancho shocks, so I ran home to get tools, come back and there closed, I didnt know they closed at 2, so now I have to wait till monday, thank the lord I dont have school that day

Got my Sploder leafs

Each leaf only has one spring clamp on it, any Ideas on either where to get 2 more or how to make one?

got a tone ring for free, so I can finally have ABS again

And got the hardware so I have some extras, and got some extra lug studs for a just in case box

And while I have the front end apart I am going to measure for shocks with my f250 mounts

Bought a High Lift Jack for 20 dollars like an hour ago

 

[railman]

I wouldn't worry about the clamps for the leaf packs....they would just limit flex....

nice score on the Hi-Lift.....
