Topic: Steve's 85 Xtra Cab Re-Redone Front Suspension... Sorta

[SteveB]

So I guess New Years Eve is not going to happen. There really isnt much i can do without any money. I still need a front driveline and registration. I was told that unless i had a duel case or a crawlbox of some sort that my stock CV joint on the front shaft would bind from the angle... So i guess that needs to be replaced too. Man it sucks. The mountains just got DUMPED on with snow and I can only look from afar

Hey there socal, yeah im a little late for hammers. I haven't been on much with the holidays and all. Thanks for the invite, i would love to get the opportunity to meet some of you folks. Keep me posted and i will try to make the next date 

A little update, i got a pair of 12" billstein 5125s for the front and some 2" blocks in the rear to level the truck so far. No pics as of now. Im still trying to work those blocks in. I was hoping i wouldn't have to disconnect the brake line, but that's the only way ill get enough clearance. That also means i need a new brake line for the rear too.

I am trying to see if i can get someone to professionally make me a square front driveshaft because i dont trust myself enough to do it on my own.

After that i need to register it and it will be trail ready!
