I was plnning on doing the shackle flip. Maybe will just stick to the plan. Lol. You got a couple of inches out of it?

I know that the blocks are tapered to not throw off the pinion angle. But will will do the shackle flip. Maybe today, we will see.

 

got about three inches exactly my rear used to sit quite abit lower than my front so i did this now my rear is a tad higher.

 

That's good to know for sure, what size ties you runnin crawlin? I am going to do it on sat. To much customer work to have time for my own. But that's not a complaint.

Also going to start building my fan shroud tomorrrow for my twin elec fans I bought and never installed. Think I am going to make this the offficial build thread...again. lmao.

 

I have a question, does anyone know if the 1500 spindles are same as 2500? I want to run a 3 in lift spindle, and have an opportunity to get a set for cheap. Just not sure if they will fit beefy. Preciate any input available.

 

pretty sure they are the same but if you measure yours up I can take the ones I have sittin in the shed and give you the same measurements back to verify they are the same

 

I'm running 37x12.50x16.5 military tires they run about $100 each. i had to do some clearanceing on the rear a little bit but that was only because i do alot of extreme offroading.

Red, that would be awesome, can you verify the # of bolts holding the hub onto the spindle, and measure the hub seat diameter? Also the rise from the upper edge of hub seat to the lower edge of upper ball joint mount. Thanx! I will measure mine 2morow 2 verify.

Crawlin, that's sick. Wish my tires were that cheap, where do you get them? I already got the bolts to do shackle flip, just gotta do it. Were the shackle hangars able to stay on same side, or did you have to cross them over?

 

Here some measurements, sorry it took so long been really busy and then my dad moved my spindles when he decided to organize the shed.







Also some numbers that were stamped on the spindle

 

So been extremely busy fixing ppls broke crap ain't had much time to log on. I think kept the shackle mounts on the same side and just flipped them and redrilled two of the holes in the bracket not sure which ones think it was the highest two on the frame and reused stock holes for the other holes. idk now that i thin k about it i might have swapped sides idk but i know it was obvious what needed to be done when i got into it. as for the tires i get them from a guy in argyle texas that buys them in bulk he can even provide rims to accomodate them.
