that thing is sick im sure your shackle angle will get atleast flat after those springs break in a bit. I totally agree with the move the axle back hack idea haha i hate tall trucks with a passion. how long is the wheel base??

Thanks. I will get pics tomorrow. It looks so badass. Im stoked on the fender cut. Im probably going to cut a little more too.

The springs are bnroken in already. Theyre straight but still gay, not a fan. I am going to put in some 48" rears soon.

The wheel base right now is 109. Hopefully should be 110.5 after i move the axle forward/lower the front.

[89sastoyo]

Nice Yeah people make fun of my land yaught but I love longer wheel bases they seem do to amazing in everything lol. And the springs thats lame fa sho, I just went to a buddys house that swapped his 89 and hes got the same shackle angle going on its pretty lame

[lilbuddy]

Pics of whats been done. Fender trim (not complete), driveline which i made out of schd 40, exhaust that came off of it that sucks, rear shocks, 37s and probably other misc crap.

Yes it sits low in the rear. Im going to lower the front and put in a new spring to fix the shackle angle.
Yes the paint is more faded on the cab then it is on the doors, fenders, hood.
Yes the fender trim needs to go back about 3/4 of an inch to be equal

What do you mean? center pin = center pin.. its the same on every axle. Its just a matter where you put the center pin of the spring...

Yeah they are

it turned out nice, is the front as wide as the rear?

Nope.... 55.5+3" in spacers= 58.5 and the rear is 60

[TacoRunner]

Yeah they are

Nope.... 55.5+3" in spacers= 58.5 and the rear is 60

Except the Mini Truck Toy housings are not 55.5" Wide they are 56.125" wide. So = 59.125"   

[lilbuddy]

Oh really? Well 2 questions then... Why don't marlin Tg and allpro put 1 inch spacers in the kits so it would be 58.1? Also why is it that every site I've been on says 55.5?
