What's the best overall spring to use for a LT rear SUA kit on a first gen?


I'm getting ideas.

 

f67 or 50T if your gunna put a decent amount of weight in the bed. You can tweak the 50T's to your liking, I think rj and nelson did this?

 

Very little weight, a spare tire, hi lift, rear bumper and bed cage are really all I need to carry.

Maybe tops 100lbs in camping gear to and from the camp sight.

 

f67's for sure then. theyre +3'' of lift and the f55 are +1" ,then again the amount of lift is going to depend on the length of your shackle and its mounting point, ie; above the frame or below.

 

With Robby winning the 500, do you think this will have other teams switching to Albins transmissions?

 

The best leaf pack is a custom leaf pack...f67 and 50t packs are off the shelf packs and will perform just like what they are..an off the shelf pack..if you truly want a good pack call jeff at deaver and have him build a custom pack. that alone was the best thing i ever did for my truck

 

Thats what I was thinking was going to be the best result.

I am very happy with my daver j59 SOA pack and would like to use a custom Deaver pack once I figure out who is willing to tackle the SUA conversion.

 

truck is alive again! tires rape the fenders now though.

 

question out of left field..



did you break your headlight tabs on the jump? haha

 

yep haha...one of them

 

those fuckers break to easy! both of my headlights have broken tabs

 

yeah i have one bolt holding my headlight on....and a few zip ties....

 

Never had a light come out...ever...zero gen ftmfw

 

the light never came out just the tabs break hahaha

 

the only tab that works on either of my headlights is the driver side one that bolts (my case zip ties) to the fender haha.

you dirty slooooot im jelly.

 

Buy or build some 12" Shackles, buy the Deaver SUA install kit from Ruff Stuff, buy or build the front hanger from TC. Buy Sleeves and bushings for the upper shackle pivots and done! Then tubing for cage.

 

Or just go to DMZ and throw money at them...lots and lots of monies

 

Bent sub-frame.

 

No....coil buckets bent and springs probably settled a little

 

So your not gonna get it checked out for any frame damage/tweakage? That was huge, I would be a little concerned since you don't have bumps or gussets.
