Project Country Boy

[TRX501RYAN]

Well i got started on my project, Country Boy, been picking some stuff up, my latest score is some 305/70/R16 BFG M/T's 98% tread left for 600 CDN heres the pics:

Next is the explorer leafs i picked up for the rear on sunday:

The plan for this truck is 6'' pf lift up front and 4 outback, add the 33's and still need to pick out the rims.

Guy from work let me test out his 31's before i lifted it to see how it would handle them first:

I think i handled them fine... lol

Then hauled my friends 22's for him as well lol, talk about a mix of things,

Ill keep you all posted as i go, i need to replace all the leaf hangers, get new bushings for the leafs, as well as belltech hangers to get the rear lift done, up front will be rough country with 4'' coils and 2'' spacers, still trying to pick out rims, ill keep you all posted

i am so glad you did not put the 22's on your truck lol but it looks good, nice score with the mud tires!

Thanks, the 22's are off of a reg cab 06 sierra, they look good on it,


I need to find bushings now for the explo leafs, im doing those with new front and rear hangers and bell tech shackles

[TRX501RYAN]

energy suspension sells a nice polyurethane kit for the rear leaf spring bushings for a decent price, and since they are 2 piece bushings theyre easy to service should you have to take the springs back apart in a few years.

 

[TRX501RYAN]

I believe theses are the one you are talking about, i plan on buying alot of this stuff tomorrow, those, im gonna get axle pivot bushings while im making an order and its apart, wheels, shocks and a pitman arm all hopefully tomoro

Should be in, in a week or so, then i have some vacation time to use up, so i may take some time off work to get er done!

 

[TRX501RYAN]

Well here's little update.... got some parts in....


Hopefullly get the few last pieces to the puzzle, and get started on it soon,

Parts:

Rims:

Mounted in my Bf's

And well... while i was at work... i fugred i could put the truck on the hoist and see how they looked on it with just off the ground, making enough room to clear them, before the lift, so here it is!

More to come, just need to get leaf srpring bushings, ext'd brake lines as well as all the bolts,
