that's what i did rides much better and flexes a bit more toomarinebroncoii wrote: I'm going to build my own mounts to eliminate some of the drop. When I do, I'm going to make it so the bushing is nuetral when the suspension is at rest.
Looking forward to a trip report!
i just used some 1" plate(for the bushings) and 1/4x6" F/b and tucked em up as high as i could they only stick 3-4" below the frame
yeah, I am waiting till I can get ahold of some cash. I want to do the larger tires and axles at the same time so I don't keep breaking junk. once I get the suspension to completely flex out this weekend I will know about how big I can go. I am also planning on lowering the body a little so I need to watch it with that also.There is entirely too much daylight between the fender and the tire. I think you need some 44s. grin

Would you be able to take a measurement of your springs with you truck sitting on some level ground. I am really thinking about using those instead of the ones I have and am going to experiment with leafs till I get the flex I want. I don't know I was thinking back when i decided what gears to get, but I never researched to double check that that is what I should have used and got 4.88s to go with 39.5s. I will have to see how it does with the slightly built 5.0 and 2500 RPM stall torque converter with those, but I will probably end up getting some 5.13, 5.27, or 5.38s for it depending on what they make for my axles and how much lower I need to go. I am thinking 5.38s cause even at 75 (the max I would want to go in it) my RPMs wouldn't be anywhere near redline.
8-9" susp, 3" body lift, 39.5x16 TRXUS STS, 342 stroker, C6, NP205, D44HD mini spool-coil sprung, D60 limited slip, 4.88s
well, I would but I bent my coil buckets while on the trail. if I gave you one it wouldn't be very accurate. I seem to remember 24" uncompressed, let me dig threw some notes and stuff I got from my build and I will see if I can get you a number.

I just figured it would be an easier way for everyone to see what I was up to
