After work, I had a workout class I do with my wife so I got home a bit later than normal. The Championship game was just starting, so I fixed some dinner and watched that till halftime. I decided to get some shop time in, so out I went. the goal was to finish mocking up the rear end and see what the tire/wheel choice looked like. Gave 75dually a call to touch base on a wing for him that is near me. Looks like I will be delivering it to him at LST.
So, I got my goal accomplished. I know in the pictures you can see that I have a scrub line issue, but these are the parts I had and was not sure what drop theses springs have. I thought they were 4" springs, but that does not look to be the case here. I will have to run with this for now, but that is one area that will need to be addressed before it spends a ton of time on the road.
In this picture, the weight of the rear portion of the truck in on springs, via a floor jack under the center section. This is my current ride height with a 28" tall tire. Not all the weight is in the truck yet, so I won't change this till I have the rest of the parts installed.
All that is left to do the brakes is make a hard line about 12" long to connect to the flex hose on this housing. The truck will have 4 wheel disc brakes for now.
I hope to have the brakes complete and bleed them by the end of this week.
