Alabama thread!

Excellent choice. Perfect for your truck.

 

Oh Snap. I like that look.

 

It completely changed the look of the truck.

 

Cb wired up and finished, ditch lights are finally wired up and working (5 months later), and rewired 3rd brake light to camper shell.

to do list:

reinstall prinsu
paint sliders/install
clamshell bushing
tires balance/alignment

Truck will then be completely ready for Moab.

 

My truck just started getting a bad vibration between 30-40 and if I let off the gas it stop. Any ideas???

 

everywhere I go..

 

Where do you feel the vibration from?

 

Sounds like it

 

How much weight have y'all had in your bed. Just hauled 1 cubic yard of soil and it was bottomed out.

 

The stock rear springs suck hard.

 

All the more reason to justify a lift I reckon.

 

Missed out on the ride today but instead I did almost the next best thing
The hulk, gunney and guns

 

So I started hearing a creaking sound from the right front. Today I discovered that the lower control arm bushings need to be replaced. I figure I need to replace both sides when I do it. Also, need to replace the coils and shocks all the way around. I'm hoping you guys can give me some good advice on what type of bushings I need to use? What coils and shocks?
I currently have the rear spring recall done, helper springs and timbienes on the rear. Also, running rancho quick lift rs9000 shocks front and rear. They have been good for me and what I have used my truck for. I use my truck for work and carry 400-450 lbs. in the bed regularly and as much as 700-800 lbs. at times. So reliablity and durablilty are important to me. I have over 250,000 miles on most of the suspension.

Thank you guys for your help.

 

I've had as much as 900 lbs. in the bed and pulling 1100 lbs. on a trailer at the same time.

 

I don't know much about the bushings as I haven't done mine yet. I would look into OEM or possibly poly bushings are available if you can find a company that makes them. I need to do that too.

As for shocks and coils, if you're at stock height, I would find someone who lifted their truck and buy the stock suspension for cheap off of them.

 

Thanks Dave! I think Crom might have gotten some poly ones. I'll check his thread.

 

Here's pics from today's ride.
