[IronClad]

not much to report.. orderd my hubs and had to order one of these http://store.cyberweld.com/m10miggun.html so that my welder isnt a giant paper weight anymore ... hopefully it will show up quick so i can get back to work on it

[86bobbedtoy]

mjb didnt have any?
or were to $$?

[IronClad]

i didnt even go ask tbh but i figured they would want an arm and a leg like they do for everything

[86bobbedtoy]

figured,
I rarely go there cause the prices

[IronClad]

yep only reason for the most part that i go there is to get bottles swapped

[IronClad]

Just had these sexy things show up!

[THK Matt]

MMM 6lug D60.... SICK!

[86bobbedtoy]

sweet!
them perty

[IronClad]

So im having a bit of a conflict. I really want to link the front. But on the other hand i really want to go back to basics and run leafs. Mostly because i want to street the truck. Ive always liked leafs i figure id run a 3rd gen / 2nd gen ruf pack to get the length i want/need/like. So what say you guys?  Im really leaning twoards leafs

[86bobbedtoy]

I say go leafs, there simple,cheap
I always liked 2nd 4x4 gen rears, with the packs doubled.
there 3 stock so make them 6 by using 4 packs.
or use the top stock leaf and add some f150s in the mix
f150s are really thin for coming from a full size.
heck add some waggys, pNp has a couple there

[86bobbedtoy]

I wish I would have went with leafs on my dodge, still kickin myself

[86bobbedtoy]

also alot of people are starting to run that weird ford style front link
where its 1 solid link
at the axle end it wraps around the axle with rubber in between
and at the frame the link is just a rod through a hole with rubbers on both sides like a sway bar, but huge

u still with me on the ford link deal?
I dont explain things very well.

[IronClad]

Ya im with ya. Thats just the standard radius arm setup. It works ok but it has a weird unloading issue on climbs that i dont want. I think im going to order the sky fullwidth kit tonight because i dont feel like making all the bs lol. Still tryingnto 100% decide though

[IronClad]

Alright just orderd the sky fullwidth kit. So going to run RUF, somewhere around a 7 leaf pack. Id like to get ahold of some 3rd gen rears for my main leafs as i prefer those especially with fullwidth. Im kind of excited to run leafs up front again to be honest.. i was getting so bent out of shape with my 3link i had that i was ready to just leaf it on the last truck. On the other hand no axle wrap and not needing a long slip driveline was pretty nice.

[86bobbedtoy]

nice, ill keep an eye out 4 some leafs

[THK Matt]

how much did that kit run you matt? I need a new front FW hanger and shackles.

[IronClad]

267 out the door. Also orderd up some shock hoops from trail gear. Things are just way to cheap now days and im just far to lazy to make simple stuff anymore lol

good to know. did u add anything or just the basic kit?

[yota_krawler]

I put 3rd gen ruf. They flex pretty good, still need to test them properly but they are longer than 2nd gen rears soooo..... Better?

[IronClad]

Just the basic kit i have all the other stuff


And i used to run 3rd gen RUF a long time ago. was an 8 leaf pack, it flexed great and rode well they were probably my favorite spring pack i ever made

[Sparkplug]

[86bobbedtoy]

[IronClad]

Stock 1/2ton chevy from a 10bolt. They have to deep of a hat on them so they need to be moved out quite a bit. Hopefully the guy i bought them from on ebay will answer me soon on what rotors to use

[THK Matt]
