oops on pirate plumbed in a ford tank as an axillary. He used a transfer pump into the toy tank and would just refill his toy tank from it
Nice, I hear those orbits are the best way to go and super pricy..
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.
Chevys or F150s will net you a couple inches in the rear and are practically free from junkyards. Otherwise the blocks are probably the best option temporarily, its a bit of work to do the drop spring hangers and then down the road you are somewhat stuck with them unless you hack them off again.They let you take that many units? Crazy, I am limited to 18 units.
Yo Nick!Yeah, I think a 2 inch block or so will work fine for now. I really don't want to burn on new hangers and stuff just to have to cut them back off again.I have to get special permission to take more than 19 credit hours. I just want to get school done and over with so I have really been busting my ass.What do you think as far as adapters go? Rotate or no rotate? The rotated is only fifty bucks more.
I'm not sure, I haven't really seen a comparison of rotated vs non rotated in terms of how much it really gains, but for 50 bucks extra why not? I probably would have sprung for the rotated had they had it when I got my adapter.
From my research, it only gains a bit over an inch. That is an inch closer to flatbelly and an inch extra clearance under my truck though! From what I have been told, it makes the lowest point my gas tank instead of the front t-case output.
I say go for it then. Your little Yota is coming along, new springs, high steer, duals! You are gonna be stoked when you try the duals for the first time.
are you going tube bed or whats the plans
you want my flat bed?
