So I put the front axle back in then moved around back. Cut the spring perches and damper mounts off and relocated the perches in to the 40" separation to match the truck's suspension. Got it all welded up and bolted back in. Dang! I forgot how heavy the stinking 14BFF is! It kept flopping all over the place when I was trying to muscle it back up under the burb. But it is in and the wheels are back on.
Next I need to get some 235/85R16 all terrains mounted up so I can judge how much to lift it. I'm thinking 2" right now. Though I'm also giving some thought to putting my spare set of 56" springs up front and a shackle flip in the rear. For a 4-5" lift. But unless I can locate a good set of 255/85R16 all terrains I think the 235s (32" diameter) will be too small for a 4" lift.
What do ya'll think? |
I think with the 235s on a 4 inch lift it would give it a some what high boy look. IMHO I think that's a good look for trucks. Tires to big that fill a fender well look a little odd Especially on classics. Don't mean to offend anyone though. Sorry if I may have. Builds looking Good. Love both of your builds so far
