Re: MY little Project....
 

dang man, I thought my leaf springs were huge! I had to run out and take a pic for ya:
http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/a...2010134302.jpg

16 leaves per side if you count the helpers. How did that thing ride? I assume like it had solid suspension in the rear! The shocks are pretty much stting at full extension, haha. Rides like a tank. I gotta do something about that...

Re: MY little Project....
 

LOL actually it rides rough but not as bad as you think. big bumps suck tho feels like you hit a mountain! but when i do the drop this will be addressed ;)

Re: MY little Project....
 

My truck previously did not have anything on the back, just a bare frame, so every time I hit decent sized bump it would hurt.

On my way back into the seat from the air the seat belt would lock up, sucking me yet farther into the seat. not so much fun... I'll be swapping to some much lighter duty springs in the future.

Re: MY little Project....
 

Where are the new measurements!???!!

Re: MY little Project....
 

LOL it got late, I did a trans service,oil change on the wifes van, this an oil pan gasket and oil change on the truck( Plus mod the exhaust to clear the axle) will get them asap

in total took out 19 leafs A SIDE and left in 6 a side= Total Drop 2.5 inch

Re: MY little Project....
 

thats alot of leafs!

Re: MY little Project....
 

LOL Rides like a Caddy Now!

Re: MY little Project....
 

I bet it rides a ton better! Too bad sporttruck screwed you, now you get to pull them out again if you decide to lower it.

Re: MY little Project....
 

lol it's all good i now know how to do it and whats involved. i'm thinking my 3 inch spindles in the front cut a coil out and do a 2 inch shackle in the rear (for now) and it will be a bit nicer.
