Re: Let's Build A 1 Ton Crew Cab 4x4

Got her back on all fours!!



Front pinion is no longer pointing down!



It was time to come outside so I can wash and clean the frame and underside of the cab, firewall and floor inside the cab. I am going to paint them with summits chassis shield.

Any taller and she wouldn't have cleared.



Working on cleaning the frame. As well as cleaning up the shop while the truck is out.

It looks way to tall in this pic. To me is seems huge, I can't imagine another 2" of lift from 35" tires. I am thinking I will assemble as is and if its too tall after the fact then I will get some 2-2.5" lift springs for the front.



Here is a comparison from the old springs.



Few more shots to show the size.



Going to fix the gap when I get some grade 8 hardware and have to switch hardware back out. Right now all I had was some 5/16 bolts to put it all together.



Shackle angle is looking a hell of a lot better. Once the full weight is on it, it should be where it is supposed to be.
