Re: Project "Daa BURB" - 1968 Chevy C10 4X4 Suburban

After a bit of derailment from working on the burb, the 4" lift has finally been installed.
Stock leafs have 2, aftermarket have 6 up front. Rear lift was accomplished with a shackle flip from http://www.sky-manufacturing.com/. One of the rear leaf mounts had a good size crack in it, so killed two birds with one stone with the shackle flip. In the process I needed to machined some spacers to fit the new leafs to the front outter shackle bolt holes - http://youtu.be/U89oQhx2i3s- to install 69-72 4" lift front leaf springs since nobody really makes the correct ones for 67-68 4X4 trucks. Purchased a set of 5125 Bilstein shocks, Theeee BEST shocks I have ever had hands down. As well needed to install 4" drop drag link to correct for steering as well new U bolt kit from Rancho. Time to install 33's or 35's now..... the used 31's I picked up look like pizza cutters on there! =0/
