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

I am hoping to mess with it more when I get weight on it, for now I just didn't want it to be touching the frame. Still a long way to go that is for sure. I am just ready to have the frame modifications I need to do, done.

I really want to roll it outside and clean it all off as well. I need to clean the frame and cab as well as clean the mess it has made in the shop.

Last night I also started working on assembling the 355 engine that came out of it, I may just go ahead and put it up for sale so I won't be tempted to slap it back together as gas engine.

Edit: Also I tried "Flexing" the suspension some last night with my small aluminum jack, springs were not giving at all and as soon as the tire got off the ground the jack broke and it slammed down. I moved my big jack under it and tried again and got it way up and spring still would not give at all. I started putting a crap ton of weight on the front end but ran out of time in the shop.
