Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Today it was pretty nice out other than the wind is crazy! I decided I wanted to put my other wheels on and see how it looks. If I have the extra money, I think I'm going to put DRW hubs on to move the rear wheels in some. But then I'll have to run disc brakes and they seem to be big $$$ for D80's. So, it might have to be the way it is for now.

Looks great to me Ryan!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I like the steel wheels better. Those are a little too close to being "ethnic" for me.

Looks great. I also like the steelies but know the hassle you speak of.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
The truck is looking great!
|
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
That looks awesome! and if you find yourself leaning back towards the steelies, id gladly take those M/Ts off your hands. that was just the brand of ethnic i was looking for. (BTW, you can fit big brakes now...) i may go with 17" black steel just to save some coin for the first go round, but i know exactly what black aluminum 18"s i want

I'm also thinkng about going air ride 4 link in the rear since I have to add traction bars. I'll be half way there on a 4 link and I already have some air bags. We shall see where it goes. Posted via Mobile Device |

The 2500HD wheels aren't bad looking on these trucks.

what bags are you looking at? i'm sure we have the opportunity for many good discussions on this front. at some time in the future(and it may not be to far since i cannot quit thinking about it) i will be designing a bunch of dana 80 and 72 chevy link mounts and bag mounts. Ryan |
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I have a 2002 Dodge at the shop that I put a Kelderman kit on last fall. It will take some time to make the brackets, but it's well worth it in the end. I can post pics of that set up. it utilizes the spring and shackle hangers too. The shackle hangers were a mount for each air bags's ping tank. The front spring hangers are where the top link hooked in, and then you add a lower link bracket ahead of the spring hanger. I have wanted to do this for a while and now might just be the time. That dodge rides so nice it isn't believable.
