The never ending project
So when i first put my lift on my truck people asked if i was done with it. I jokingly said its a never ending project. Well little did i know that is was the truth. It started with one ver rough night of mudding the night after thanks giving. I destroyed my front carrier and had my half ton axles regeared but the truck never rode or drove the same. So i bought some dana 60's and put them under the truck (see DIY section.) After i completed that my friend traded me his 37's for my 35's. so i drove with them on for about 2 weeks and they were rubbing when my suspention would flex. So that brought on a need for me to install a 3" body lift i had laying around. when i decided to do that i figured i would order some replacement leaf springs for the rear. I ordered some Fabtech 5.5" lift springs to match the front and when i started looking under my truck at how had the install would be i deicded it would be easiest to just remove my bed, sence i had to take the bolts out for the body lift anyway. Any way i figured i would let you guys see what i have been up to. So here are some pics, hope you enjoy.
the truck rite after i did the Dana 60 swap.
The truck how it sits as of tonight
needs good washing before the bed and leafsprings go on.
The 3 inch body lift
The Dana 60's
the oil is from the old gasket that i replaced. tried cleaning it and this is what i ended up with.
the reason i put the body lift on
the reason i ordered the rear springs (stacked blocks)
The reason i removed the bed
Can anyone say snowball effect????? But i think it will be worth it.
I got camera happy and snapped some pics of my bike to show all of you.
What do you guys think of my undertaking???
