[skyscraper]

Dont get your panties all in a bunch.  You know if I had a build thread you'd be doing stuff like that all the time!

[joey0712]

I pulled my old leafs off the front cuz they were hammered. I took the mains from a rear pack and some from a Marlin pack. I think its gonna be kinda tall. It moved my axle forward about 2 inches.... Ill see how it flexes tomorrow, im waiting on spring bushings. I also got some big boy U bolts so now i wont get made fun of at school.

[skyscraper]

dont worry, you'll still get made fun of

[joey0712]

i'd say the front springs flex pretty good. looks good to hha your truck lives most of its life on its side it appears.

[joey0712]

Im pretty happy with the way they work. I havent rolled in a while... I guess i like narrow trails!

[89sastoyo]

haha for sure there fun, I need a bender lol.

[axled89]

did you rebuild the rear axle housing???   and how much clearance did it make, over the stock one???

[joey0712]

Thats a Diamond housing. I think you gain about .75 and they are crazy strong!

[axled89]

that's what i was thinking.  he has some decent fab skills you never know what people can do.
how much are those housing.  .75 is pretty good.

[joey0712]

Um they are around 900 i think for a rear... fronts are more

[RokCrawlinToy]

What trail is that? Rig looks good 

[joey0712]

Thanks... Its a trail some friends and i made behind my house. Its alot more hard core then it looks. We built the whole thing with digging bars and winching rocks around.

[Aaronn]

needs more angle iron... maybe a T post or 2

[skyscraper]

he substituted those for duct tape and bailing wire...

[Aaronn]

Give him time. He'll add some angle later I'm sure

[joey0712]

Give him time. He'll add some angle later I'm sure

Heres your angle iron homo! I got it painted FINALLY. Im gonna run the fuel lines tomorrow and finish up painting.

[skyscraper]

Finally got the cap for your cell huh

[joey0712]

Ya Aaron picked them up today.

[axled89]

 

[joey0712]

Well its all painted up now. I had to remake the fuel lines also. Im taking it out tomorrow I think the extra weight will help alot. I mounted the fuel pump above my crossmember so it wouldnt get smashed. Heres some pics

[axled89]

lookin sweet joey.       is your brake lines rubber on the upper links or are they steel???

[twistedtoy92]

rig is lookin pretty sick

[joey0712]

Thanks! They are steel its some coating they have on them.... I got them at Napa i think.

[TacoRunner]

Looking really nice dude. Please keep up the good work and post it.

[joey0712]

Will do. Im taking it out tomorrow... I cant wait to try it with the extra weight in the rear.

[89sastoyo]

looks good, I think I got those brake lines the other day haha I was confused Ive never seen black ones. I really like how you did the rear brake lines looks super clean.
