got a package of new shims and adjusted my preload last night. Now my truck doesnt vibrate and shake anymore  :woohoo:

Started this over the weekend.







almost done with the tailgate. need to get some more bondo, the old stuff i had was no good.


Got my IFS rear axle modified to take the elocker 3rd and put that in the rear, all wired up and works great.

ran into a problem with my front suspension. Stock shackles are limiting flex, have about 4" to go on shocks, and also drag link it hitting leaf on passenger side when drooped out. So i'm going to make some 5" shackles and pull my bottom leaf. thinking the shackle length should let me utilize my entire shock travel and hoping pulling a leaf will give enough room to flex more without the drag link stopping the leaf.

Pics this weekend maybe...oh yeah, going to pick up a tcase with 4.7s in it saturday  :greengrin:
