Author Topic: 1985CRAWLER'S long overdue sorta kinda late build 85 runner (Read 57425 times)

I am using your thread as a makeshift guide on what to do with the suspension on my red headed hooker. I originally was going to go with all-pro 4" but I want to be low and clear 37s. I'm now thinking RUF and F-150 springs will be a better and cheaper option for me. I've got a buddy in my club who is going to help me trim the fenders 3" or so. I'm shooting for 25" or less frame height. What do you think?

having some fun in the snow, couldn't manage to get the 87 runner stuck with those 40s at 5 psi.

the 85 is still not back on dd duties, the damn new rear diff gears arnt broken in yet so i cant drive it to work or school which requires HWY driving.

About time you let this thing do something other than pound pavement. It deserves better!

Yes Dave you need to come do a snow run! I daily drive my diesel mostly, but in town driving I usually mob the runner, meanwhile the ex cab is just rotting away in the corner of the yard haha

New rubber on the 85 , 35" kevlars , always wanted a set of these , sold the iroks on the 91 and put the 37 mtrs back on it and with the money went on got these bad boys

Oh and here's my powerstroke that I dd just to show you all what it looks like , just need to find a trailer

OVRAROK · « **Reply #177 on:** Dec 10, 2015, 02:02:04 PM »

have you had a chance to drive it, can you feel a difference in power?, what's your frame height now?, are those brand spanking new, they look it

J_Cole92 · « **Reply #178 on:** Dec 10, 2015, 06:29:22 PM »

Yea I drove it , I can feel a slight difference in power but not much going from an og 37mtr to 35 kevlar, I haven't measured frame height yet but I'm betting its around 22.5? Maybe , I was barely at 24" with 37s. And yea they are brand new

920$ at Americas tire , hell they were even cool enough to pull most of the bends out and grind the rock Rashed edges of the wheels I wanted them on for free since I got Tires and paid cash
