your gonna get used to that rear end and front end lifting off the ground once you run the Con... some big rocks that'll definently flex 'r out. nice pics, that's a really clean rig.
Rock Pile doesn't like your tierods!!! lol
You have all the fun bro!
no bump stoppers?
OK so we got the thick bacon... but RK can't find the salami... and Deans wife has the cheese...
Shamb Flex'n at Napa Oakdale right
truck looks like it flexs about the same as mine. what your next step?
Well, since the front works OK as is, and I can't spring the for hysteer, I am trying to get ahold of some 2-3" lift f150 springs. I don't want to run blocks, which is why I want a lift pack. I plan on a hybrid using the main and second from the f150s and some of the existing rears.
How hard is it to get a hold of the f150's? And how wide are they?
stockers aren't hard to find,but you have to run them with blocks. a buddy of mine supposedly has a mild lift set...he just has to find them. I don't know...there are a couple widths I think, I have to wait till I see the springs.
I dont know about that. My old truck had the stock F150s (from a late 80s to early 90s ford F150 using the 2.5 inch winde springs) and i did not have a lift block, i had a 3 inch body and 5" skyjacker front springs and wit hthat combo my rear end only sagged about an inch in the rear then the front did. The ride quality and flex was much improved over the 5" skykjacker rears taht were in that thing.There are a 2.5" and 3" versions that were under those trucks.
Now thats why I said on my old truck My runner is a different story. I have 3" blocks in it and its about level as the front. I figured I got about 2 inches of lift out of the rear of the runner (without the blocks) and i figured I got about 3.5-4 inches of lift out of the rear of my longbed truck with the exact same springs. If you had to you could always get the springs and then get them rearched (about $100) but then by the time you buy the springs ($50 for springs in chico from pnp) its about the same price (not quite) as MC springs...Id say just get the F150s and if you have to just run a 1" block or somehow get as much as you need. Personally I like the rear squatting then having it sit higher then the front.
gotcha Only reason I am thinking of doing it this way: springs are free.
Any questions just ask me!
