Re: Rear Tank - Difference in Ride?

Future plans are to do a 2 1/2 Front Spindle Drop and a 4 inch Rear Spring drop with adjustable Trac-Bar and repositioned shocks which will level the truck out somewhat without the extra weigh of my rear accessories. Thanks for the idea of loading up the weigh in the box to see how far she drops with the extra weight cause I sure dont want the front of the truck higher than the rear when the gas tank is full. I'll take the sway bar and hitch to work and weigh them on the industrial scale, and I think the gas tank is sixty pounds empty but will take it too. I love how there is always ideas to pick up and things to learn when scrolling the different threads and posts.
That's why we're here. When people share ideas, good things can happen.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
