Flippy02's Ball Joint Flip Adventure

Decided to make use of my extra free time during this shelter in place and got myself a DJM 3/4 kit, energy polyurethane suspension kit for the rear end, swapped out to 01-04 leaf spring shackles to make them work and removed the Daystar leveling kit up front. I already had pre-runner rear leaf springs installed on the rear, that was before I knew there was such a huge difference between models.



I also decided to polish the headlights using a kit from Cerakote, seemed to work pretty well and I would recommend it. I only regret not taking before and after pictures.



I did have a pretty good taco lean while, so while I was at it, I swapped the front and rear springs from the driver side to the passenger side and that seemed to help a little a good amount.



This also took me way longer to do then it should have, but overall I'm pretty pleased.



Once I get my seatbelts back from getting new webbing installed, I'll get aligned and a proper break in.

 

looking good man

 

Exactly how 5 lugs should be mod’d

 

Great looking truck! What size tires are you running? Fitment looks prefect for the drop.

Edit: zoomed in 215/70r15 for those also curious.

 

Tires are a little bigger than I'd like. I would like to switch to 17x8 rims
