Picture of the rear suspension all wrapped up..

Oh, and I took the front bumper guards off too. I think it looks much cleaner. A little rubbing compound brought the bumper up nicely.

**CC69Rat** · 03-26-2013, 01:57 PM

I wish I could find a better grille for it, or dolly that one out a little. I just haven't messed with it much. I bet I could get a lot of that out.

Rusbuilt · 03-26-2013, 02:11 PM

Bumper looks much better! lol Will you be cutting off the excess threads from your u-bolts or will you just leave them that long?

Yeah, I left the length on them just because if it's not low enough once I get the bed back on it, I'll add more block. If I add more block, I need more Ubolt so I just left that for the last thing I do. Those things are THICK man.

Chad you are gonna need more block. I can see your frame isn't touching the ground yet

shawno72 · 03-26-2013, 02:12 PM

Looking better and better Chad, keep up the good work

Rusbuilt · 03-26-2013, 02:21 PM

lol good plan!

**nlped** · 03-26-2013, 03:47 PM

Chad,

Doe's the PB upper shock crossmember have to used with lower shock mount, or can it be used with the stock lower mounts? I ask because I really want to use the tubular crossmembers front to rear (minus the dropmember & trailing arm ones).

Oh, and I have a '70 front grille that you could have to practice on straightening. It's currently on mine, but I'm going to the '68 grille & hood. And I still owe you one for the shock relocation pieces.

The upper shock mount pulls the shocks around in front of the rear axle tube a little more, instead of the stock location pictured. It is designed to give you more of an Up/Down position than the angle you get when you lower your truck without relocation brackets.

The thing that concerns me about running the upper bar without the lower bar is the orientation of the shock bolt up top in relation to the bolt in the bottom. The angle would be quite a bit different. I'd be interested to see where the ECE brackets would put it compared to stock but I still dont thing it would pull it around (thinking efficiency) to the point the lower PB shock bar would put you. Honestly, .. I'd run both the upper and lower shock bars, regardless of stock trailing arms or Nate's. Just my .02

NOT just because I have PB stuff on mine, I understand there are trucks on here that are 10x mine or more .. I'm just saying, I would recommend Nates products to anyone. You can just 'see' the efficiency and geometry / creativity the guy has in his mind. Absolutely incredible stuff. Ed, my vote .. upper and lower PB. Pass on the relocators to someone else brother. Just me.

later ..

(red = PB shock position, blue = PB lower shock bar)

I'm going to come up to Nashville with Chad, but the only thing that worries me is the word "work". At my age, I mostly supervise!

**CC69Rat** · 03-29-2013, 04:34 PM

Id say my wheels will be 4-5 weeks out.. maybe late April / May.
