Now its a truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have you jumped on it to see how much more flex it gave you???

 

[Dakota83]

i jacked the rear end up but the wheels idtdropp as much as the could..i dont know why

 

[dangerranger83]

They need the chevy springs plus the chevy ones can be re-arched to give more flex.

 

[Dakota83]

shocks could be holding it up, pretty common from what i understand. the wheels and tires give that truck a whole new attitude.

I had the same. I moved my shackle hanger back on the frame to allow full drop of the shackle . in the stock location the spring and shackle would bind, not allowing full drop . just what i found when i did mine. btw truck is looking bad ass.

i first did it with no shocks so i know its not the shocks...i really don't want to drill new holes for the hanger..im putting it back for now do to the rubbing and can anyone post their pics of when they flared their stock bedsides

btw truck is looking bad ass.

thanks...i think it looks way better then with those crappy stock rims lol

 

[nate09]

in terms of a height difference after flipping the mount, did you lose height over stock?

 

[Dakota83]

yeah im pretty sure

 

[dangerranger83]

How much did the tires and rims come out to be? What brands too? After I do my SAS my truck is going to look goofy with stock rubbers.

 

[Dakota83]

two are cragar soft 8 and the other two are just plain steel wheels..thats what i was told when i bought them. i paid $100 for the rims and the tires were free..ill look to see what kind they are but their 31/10.5/r15

 

[Dakota83]

the tires are Dura trac kevlar..just came out 2 months ago

Thanks. I just relize that you live in Cali. Your going to have to get that truck emission tested. Is it going to be a DD or recreational vehicle? I know somebody on here that is having a hell of a time trying to get his 2.8 to pass emissions.

Wish I could get free tires like those.
