Morning Rob

How’s it going?

 

Nah mine are black, and only 4.

If I can find a buyer for mine, would you be interested in selling your set?

 

@BamaTaco56 I’ve been wanting a taller set of jack stands as well for the same reasons you said earlier. I like being able to sit under my truck when wrenching for long periods of time instead of straining my neck. I’ll be looking in to building a set at some point before I tear out my rear suspension completely.

 

ECGS has a diff builder on their site for price, the upfront cost will be high because of core charges, but you'll get all of that back.

 

Ill look into that. I got a quote from them for what scotty did send em out and have them done. Was 1500 without bearings. Add rebuild kits and its alot more. When i can prolly get everything for 1000-1200

 

Yes, but timing would be a factor.

I definitely want to switch to Ray 10's, but not sure when I can make the move.

 

Ill look into it. Labor is just a stupid cost to me. But warranty would be nice

 

If you order them they will send them to you and you send your back after you install theirs. They do require a refundable deposit but they refund it the day they get yours.

 

$3,000 to do it like i said, but when they receive your old diffs you'll get $1,500 back.. least amount of downtime.

 

Either way I will help

 

I'll look into that, but free Amazon points is still easier than spending 35$ lol

those don't seem to go very tall though?

let me know when you do that, I'm probably going to go ahead and pick up some 6ton taller ones just to use for now but may look into something larger if you're building one day too.

 

@stronghammer I know this has been discussed between us at some point, but I just received the BAMF shock relocation kit I'll be installing with the leaf spring swap once I acquire all the parts. I'll be your guinea pig with it and see how well it works. I'm going to try and finagle a 14 inch shock in there. We'll see how well that goes. Haha.

 

I'm wanting to build some super tall ones with a giant threaded rod for the adjustability. I need something that'll fit under my rear bumper and still keep the truck off the ground with suspension at full droop.

 

Great, but I almost forgot I was supposed to be working today...

 

yesss let me know....didn't want to build your own?

sounds good let me know. I'd be interested in helping/learning the engineering along the way with you on that.

 

I found a good deal on these and figured I'd snag them. I don't have the tube bending die that can do the tubing Id use for a shock hoop at the moment anyway. This is just less work. Lol.

I'll probably grab some angle iron this weekend from the steel yard to start toying with a design for those jack stands. we'll see.

 

Yeah I keep up with my work days by how long I've been off. lol

Would kinda like to forget I had to work. Oops, ok then I'll just catch y'all next time then cause I'm sure a part-timer would like to work in my place. lol

Yeah, that'll never happen. It'll be when are you going to be here. FML

 

wait...shock hoop? their relocate is just a "square" housing welded up onto the frame is it not? Or did you get the larger ones that are the actual shock hoop?

this is all I want..
