Alabama thread!

Thanks. A few more mods and I'm done.

 

Somebody better have a lot more money than what I paid for it! 7 Mar at Tacoalamode's I help even. Southeast Huntsville.

 

What mods you gonna do? I was planning on doing the needle bearing change, but after my suspension lift, I'm not feeling any vibes or shudders, so I may just delay that. Mod day @TacoAlaMode's? I may be there, I'll probably have a Victory roof rack by then I could install, or help with any other mods.

 

Good to know.

 

Looks like I may not need the ECGS tool after all. After alignment this morning, the truck drives AWESOME! Soaks up the bumps real nice, feels more planted on the road, no nosedive when breaking. I can't wait to take it offroad! I didn't get as much lift in the front as I expected, the rear has settled about 3/4", so I'm about 2.5" over stock. I've got close to 2" of rake, which I love the look of. Will come in handy for loading the bed down and not having the bro lean!

 

Hey David!

 

Sup Jeff!

 

Before and after in better light. I dig the raked look! Once I get some new tires put on, it will be sitting just the way I like it!

 

I gotta clean the garage out first before parking anything in there! lol It's full of truck parts, lawnmowers, tire and junk right now. I got to get around to cleaning it. It's close to Spring cleaning time anyway!

 

Glad it drives well for you bud!

 

What is the purpose of doing a shackle flip kit?

 

Got this little guy for the trip to boil some water quick

 

From what I understand, it gives you more lift. Remember how my rear shackle mount bolts on the bottom and the leaf spring bolts on top? Well you can invert it to give you more lift.

 

@newdles, let's see some pics of your newly lifted truck! I wish I had another 1/2" in the front, but overall, the ride is just awesome!

 

Lifted!

 

Suspension parts and wheels/tires on truck for delivery. Hopefully be here today if not all will be installed tomorrow. Won’t take long at all though if parts are here and garage is heated so makes getting motivated a little easier as well as less painful when wrenches slip and knuckles smash metal.

 

Looking forward to seeing what your truck looks like when it's done!

 

I haven’t run a sway bar for at least 3 years. Don’t miss it at all. Let’s the suspension do what it’s supposed to do. Be independent. Remember the first pot hole I hit after taking it off and the whole front end didn’t transfer it from one side to the other. So damn nice.

 

Same. No sway bar for years. Don’t miss it and don’t drive like it’s nascar so not much lean.

 

Sup Murph!
