Well I found another set of 63" chevy springs that will meet my OCD issues and I fabbed up a new set of front spring hangers that have a longer angle and should help to avoid hangups....hopefully things slide on them better. I also bought the 35" Goodyear MTRS this weekend and ordered my rims as well, I wanted the Procomp Rockcrawler Series 97s but they were at least 8 weeks out so I went with the series 51s and they are 2 weeks away.
I have been studying for a job competition that I have a test for tommorow but I needed some time away from that so I hit the garage.
I got the springs hung and it only took 2 tries to tack mount the rear shackle mounts to get the desired 35-45 deg. shackle angle...I got mine sitting at 40 deg on the full weight of the truck, so I am happy about this.
I rolled a tire up to see how things will look at the current ride height.....things look a little tight for wheel clearance so I have a buddy making me some 1" and 2" blocks so I can play with ride height later.
I still need to adjust the axle angle but I will do this later.
Unfortunately no....I have come across an issue with my springs (more of an issue with my OCD cause the springs aren't perfect in my eyes) so i am just trying to hunt down another set of 63" chevys, I should hopefully have another set by this weekend. Think I might go and get the tires this weekend since Goodyear has a sale on the Kevlar MTRs right now ($40 off each tire equals a couple rims in the future when I get down to Westshore Spring for the ProComps)
Well this long weekend was so nice it was tough to get stuff done on the truck.....not to mention I forgot to get ubolts before the long weekend so I couldnt hang the rear housing like I wanted to.
All I got done was fabbing up some front brackets and rear shackle hangers for the 63" chevies.
