Thank you gmanf. I love the way it looks on that wheel tire combo. She's rubbin tho for sure. Don't want to do any more cosmetic surgery on the back of the fender soooo, I order 6 inch lift springs. Gonna take tham prob a week to get here so on Sunday I am going to build some upper 4 inch spring spacers. It just needs to sit higher! So that's the game plan. Gonnaa do some moe tweaking on her today will post some more good pics.

 

nice looking rig. I envy the underside as much as the top, still looks painted and pretty clean with practically no rust. Must make removing parts a snap!

 

Yea I am def blessed that my ttruck was very well maintained by the previous owners. It runs perfect, and is very clean underneath. Things came apart very easily. The oly thing seized up is the inner bolt on the passenger side tie rod coupler. (Which is why I haven't finished aligning it). I am going to get that smoothed out this weekend.

Btw the rubbing was a piece of my fenderwell that I apparently did not cut all the way off. Lol. Pulled that off and straightened out the inner fenderwell with a hammer, and viola, almost all of my rubbing is gone. Still gtonna lift it a lot more tho!

Just wanted to post a completed underneath shot from the front end. She's sitting in a grosss paking spot, but that mes is not from my truck lol.

 

It looks like the camber is off a little bit, like the top of the tires are leaning out away from the truck more than the bottom.
Even if I'm wrong, it wouldn't hurt to do some measuring to ensure you don't wear out the outside edge of the tires prematurely.

If it is off then you could probably fix it by making the drop bracket a little bit wider to push the bottom of the tires out.

 

Thje camber is off a alil bit, but that camera angle in that pic is weird, the top of the tire is actually in a lil on the passenger side. But the toe is the main problem. Def need to fix both this weekend.

Tryin to decide if I should paint the suspension components. Gonna be doing a lot to fix up the truck, and was thinking about painting some of the under carriage/suspension. How you guys feel about that?

 

what about this




front and back side to side i think would add alot of strong

 

It bmost def would add a lot of strength. It is built with two pieces of 1/8th angle next to each other making half an 8 beam, plus an 1/8th strip the whole way down, I don't think that strngth is an issue. I am going to do some measuring tomorrow to make sure nothing has tweaked.

I am also making the 4 inch lift cups for the top of the coil springs, and also gonna take the shocks of the isuzu and put them on the dodge. Also going to be making sway bar extensions. Going to basically finish the job up front. I will post plenty of pics of that work.

 

Made lift cups today and no more rubbing, gonna do allignment, and shocks tomorrow. Will be posting a bunch of cool pics. Stay tuned!

 

Lift cups worked great, upper control arms are to short, and it throwing my camber off bad, as you can see. We are extending the upper control arms a full inch to give me good camber, and ball joint angle. Will be posting pics as work comenses today. Should be pretty smooth sailing.

 

I'm glad you caught that camber issue. It would suck to wear those tires out faster than they should due to the price of them.
Keep the pictures coming, that truck is looking pretty good.
