Had a great day Must say I love rusty ass leaf springs that kick my ass...But progress is being made Here is a pic of the flat leaf I am taking out since one side is broke and the new leaf i got from Monte, thanks again Monte.



I already assembled one leaf pack and it seems to have a little more arc and is a little stiffer so should work out great.

 

Holy shit that thing is flat haha

 

Got some parts in the mail this morning So I rebuilt a super charger today and reinstalled it and the truck actually started back up... Tomorrow on to actually getting those stock bushing out of the leafs. Had to take a break from them before I lost it

 

Burnt the stock bushings out of my leafs and built them up No I have three Toyota leafs a skyjacker leaf two add a leafs and an overload.



Got the new energy suspension bushings in the freezer and should have my new U-bolts in the mail tomorrow and I can get this thing back on the road! Its killing me not having it

 

Be interesting to see how much lift they give.

 

So am I

New bushings installed




I had a bit of trouble getting the leaf out of the passenger side of the truck due to the exhaust, so needless to say I bent the shit out of my shackle, like to the point that one side of it is flat, tried to bend it back with little luck. I wasn't sure how much of a problem it was until I put everything back together and that side of the truck is 2 1/2 inchs taller than the other. I took it out today and tried to flex a bit to try to get it to settle but have come to the conclusion that I need new shackles. Of course I don't want to go stock if I have to by new ones so I was thinking maybe the Toytec 1 inch but then I will need longer shocks for sure so I am going to try to sell some of my truck parts I got in the shed that I really don't know why I am keeping. A few pics from today

 

How is your spare tire set up in the bed of your truck? I'm trying to think of ways to fit a 33 inch spare somewhere without having to drill holes...

 

I like the set up until I figure out some type of rack. Don't see a way without drilling holes.

 

Hmm, dang... I saw that you can grind off two pieces that are on the stock spare tire carrier and you can fit a 33" tire up there.

 

Your build is coming along nicely! good looking ride!

 

You could prolly just bend the heck out of them with a big ass hammer to fit that 33 too

Thank you sir! Nice truck yourself

 

S/c fixed yet?

 

Done
