@AllTacosFloat hows the 63's treating you so far?

 

Very good, going to add a leaf. The new springs really flattened with the weight.

Every bit as stable as hammer hangers.
My alignment is a touch off so we weren’t perfect but very close.
No axle wrap but some driveline vibes near 80. Not too worried as it’s not often I do 80

 

Extra work wouldn't be a problem if I had the time for it... thought I would but just isn't the case :/

 

I get ya there, I was planning to go to NMW in 2 weeks but not doing that anymore to get the flatbed started and the chicken run finished.

Willow got pecked by the rooster then ran away. I think there wont be any chicken nuggets

 

Is she as stubborn as mine? Wouldn't change her opinion lmao

 

Nah shes good for the most part. She isnt staring at them constantly anymore

 

So I need 12t jack stands for the height to do my leaf springs…. Should I be concerned that their math is broken?

 

Welcome to droop. China probably means they did metric tons.

 

We're going to crash the Mars rover with that math.

12 metric tonnes is 26 and change.

 

makes sense now but the other 2 sets both said 24k. Thanks for the lesson!

 

what's the ratio between metric tons and shit tons?

 

I got these ones

I think shittons is about 1776% more

 

1 to Elmo.

John do you just need height, I assume? You don't need (not 26k lbs at least) grunt to lift?

Would something like this work out too?

That one says about 1500lbs.

 

I read that as 12ft. jackstands. I'm not sure if I should be concerned with my math or my eyesight

 

Not really what he is looking for. Just need something to fully droop out the 63's without the drums hitting the ground. This isnt even full droop and take a look at those "extended" brake lines. No that stock shock is not connected. I think 24"+ is what your looking for.

 

I gotcha now - holding the truck up to that height, I thought he was trying to hold the springs up.

2300 bucks for an Amazon 2 post lift
