WHITE_TRASH · May 17, 2003, 05:50:13 PM

better pic of rear spring length and mounting

WHITE_TRASH · May 18, 2003, 05:22:36 PM

What can I say Ill have to get some better pics of its flex actually showing off. How the front springs are now they hardly move at all! Ill be pulling a front out and adding a softer leaf to go along with the longer shackles, I figure that'll get things a movin :thumb:

Looks like it will work, thats some good thinking

freds40 · May 19, 2003, 09:38:09 AM

I know that routine of wirking into the wee hours of the morning on the suspension

did it myself 2 weekends ago. Chevy's rear, rear hybrid's up front and stretching 5 " I'll try to get a couple of pics up for a reference.

Brandon · May 22, 2003, 05:04:50 AM

duuude, your shackles are weeeeenie! Get some 1/2" plate in there!

vikingsven · May 22, 2003, 05:36:20 AM

I have to agree with Brandon.
With the length and thinkness of your shackles, :oops:, with a few good twists and they're going to look like pretzels in no time :.order:

Beef up! 1/2" is a little much though, but can't hurt. :thumb:

WHITE_TRASH · June 02, 2003, 07:08:41 PM

yep the shackles are a bit thin but they should suffice for now

Shawn (the trucks owner)and I put 2 chev half ton leafs in it today, now it sits just ever so asshigh. Perfect excuse for a longer shackle in the front!
here it is torn down.

WHITE_TRASH · June 02, 2003, 07:13:21 PM

Just down the road from my house is a great place for testing flex we went down there ass soon as the truck was back on all 4's but of course I forgot my camera Ill se him later this week and get some good ones. The chevs mixed in the pack are awsome it rides great and doesnt have the same lean anymore plus it flexes much better to boot!

mr4x42u · June 03, 2003, 04:38:35 AM

wt,,looks like your rig is collecting too much dust,,,its time to wheel that thing.. :up:

WHITE_TRASH · June 03, 2003, 07:56:15 AM

Its going under the knife soon enough been too busy with other project rigs for customers gonna tear it apart and basically start over all the wiring is going away flat bed is going even changing the mufflers the twisters were WAY LOUD and had no spark arrestor ability so... all things are a changin!

WHITE_TRASH · June 09, 2003, 05:35:28 PM

Sorry to say but if youve been looking for caddy springs like these you wont find em they dont exist my buddy at the wrecking yard thought thats what the rear end was out of but caddy used coils for many years before 87 so no dice suppose I shoulda done some more homework on that end

sorry for that Ill figure this one out eventually... heres the flex pics I promised :thumb:

WHITE_TRASH · June 09, 2003, 05:38:17 PM

another

WHITE_TRASH · June 09, 2003, 05:41:17 PM

what the f*ck happened here that pic was WAY downsized and it still showed HUGE?

? im sure someone smarter than me can fix that... it looks terrible

anyway heres another

vikingsven · June 10, 2003, 03:45:01 AM

Dude...ROCK!!

WHITE_TRASH · June 10, 2003, 02:04:31 PM

those front fenderwells are gonna have to go :~~:
they have been moved back about to the body mount but they still are in the way :.order: and the perches have been drilled. The stock shackles need to go away too they limit travel sooo much!! It would have been nice if he'd a got a pic of the forward shot on the other side cause the tire tucks into the rear fenderwell about 2 inches!! not bad for a little hillbilly inginuity

RogueDogg · June 10, 2003, 06:08:12 PM

What do you have for front springs?

WHITE_TRASH · June 10, 2003, 06:39:48 PM

the fronts are 5 inch skyjacker

mr4x42u · June 10, 2003, 11:30:09 PM

so what size tires are thos on that yota?look like 35's..Did you find out what those springs are out of?You ready for a wheeling trip w/t?

WHITE_TRASH · June 11, 2003, 02:51:49 PM

I havent had time to go to the wrecking yard as of yet so Im still clueless....
and yes those are 35's on the trucks bf garbage on the blue one and ssr's on mine. but im getting a set of 38x12.5 tsl's this weekend so maybe Ill be ready in a month or so just need the tires for the motivational value!!

mr4x42u · June 12, 2003, 12:59:17 AM

maybe you already said this but did you move the spring hangers to mount those springs.//This guy needs to add his top rear leafe to his front pack to mobe the front axle foward 2 inches..then make or buy bannana shakles for it... :thumb:
