Wrenching in Delaware

[KnuckleHead]

I know it's a far stretch for some of ya'll, but if you're interested, I'll be installing my hi-steer kit, some "modified" spring packs and my 36's this weekend. I'll be using my buddies new shop, so we'll be dry and have plenty of beer to go around.

Good luck with it all. Have you built the spring pack yet? Ted and I built one for his rig a couple of weeks ago. It seemed to fit well, but I don't if he's had it road (or off road) tested yet.

The rear pack that I'm going to use on the front is built. I used the 2 main springs from my rear pack + the bottom 4 from the Marlin front pack I got from Eric. I still have them on the rear of my truck for now and they gave me over 2" of lift 8O . We're supposed to hit a salvage yard on Friday and I'm going to try and find some springs to use in the rear so I can swap everything around.

I'll post some pics of the final product if we get it all done this weekend.

Here's the IFS box plate I made

Now I just to finish hooking up all the PS lines and align everything.

Nice. I need to plate my frame. Did you use 1/4"?

[KnuckleHead]

Just got back from the shop. Everything is all put together and running like a champ. I did an eye-ball alignment and it seems to be ok. Got a slight vibe at aroudn 50 MPH, but that could be due to the 36" TSLs I'm running now. :D
Now I just need to find some springs that will work out back so I can swap my rear packs up front, then I'll be set.


Did you use 1/4"?

Yeah. It seems to be beefy enough.

36" TSLs :twisted:
