Any links to individual rear brake setups?

Anyone?

jrock · « **Reply #33 on:** Apr 24, 2009, 08:02:46 PM »

Got some more new springs (well new to me), new shocks (shitty), new shackles and new tie-rod (new to me)

. Now my front sits even higher

, dang, gotta fix that. I don't know what the springs are but they flex well. I might have to use a drop draglink I don't know, what you think? My steering wheel is upsidedown.

And removing that wrap bar does very little to affect the braking. No pull, yet.

Edit: The steering wheel turns on its own, counter-clockwise 1/4 turn, when I brake.

Flexed.

Way better.

jrock · « **Reply #48 on:** May 14, 2009, 12:12:01 AM »

It happens Saturday.

I win! I finished. I must be smart now... right? They gave me a paper that said I am.

Oh, and the most current flex pic:
The rear driver tire is 6 inches off the ground.

I'm so sorry I never called you back, I seem to have issues with that. And no I have not. I have decided I still hate blocks and I am going ahead with the F150s.

The booger is my uncle and I love Asians.

When you put on that new tie rod was it easy? Or was it a simple r&r?

BFH the old one off and the new went on easier than changing the oil.

Super easy and something I would recommend doing. My stock looked like an S after two rock encounters.

Only tool other than the BFH I would recommend would be a pickle fork. $Beer Chug\'n$

I DO NOT baby my truck, on street or off, and it has taken it all.

So I began the mock-up for F150 rears and have already run into a problem... by moving the hangers forward I am also moving them down

. Moving the hole down 2 inches is problematic... I only want a total of 2 inches of lift. What can I do?

And what can I do to fill the gaps around the edges of the hangers?

Duffil · « **Reply #59 on:** May 20, 2009, 08:23:49 PM »

do you remember when I told you that you overthink things?

Well, ya, you're doing it again.

easiest thing to fill that gap is molten steel. crank the wire speed up. It will pop and splatter but it will give you a base to back and burn into.
