Well guys, I am now having serious debates on what I should do. I need to get the new high steer on for safety sake. I also want to get these new springs on. Those are both good and all, but there is a problem. I will have to get a new driveshaft made to work with the moved axle and the long travel springs. No, I will not use some hokey ass square shaft because I have to use 4WD almost full time in winter. SO....
I am thinking about picking up a doubler from Marlin. They are $350-$400 and I already have a could spare tranfercases sitting in storage. Downside is I will then also need a new rear shaft, although I might be able to put some stuff together from shafts I have laying around that will work with the doubler.
Another issue I have come to realize is my flat pitman arm may no longer be necessary with these kick ass new springs. I will have to see once I actually get everything mocked up on the truck.
I think I know what I am going to do with the rear for now. The setup I have now works great for what my truck is used for. I plan on linking the rear in the future, so I don't want to sink a bunch of money into the rear suspension right now. So I think I will either build drop hangers for the springs or just run some 2"-4" blocks depending on how high my front sits with these AWESOME NEW SPRINGS!!!!!
We will see what happens. I have no time to do anything right now between my amazing girlfriend, school, and work. I work 20 hours a week and I am doing 22 credit hours at the college. My ass is getting kicked. Hopefully I will have the garage ready come summer so I can get this thing done when I am not out on the oil rigs.
