Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab

Joey, we appreciate any and all input!
Couple things to remember...8" springs aren't known for their flex, and we still have alot of weight to add to both the front and rear. But, depending on what picture you are referring to, some changes have been made.
We relocated the front axle rearward 1/2" and went from a 4" long shackle to a 5" as we built the winch mount. This helps roll the shackle back and gives the spring room to extend.
Stay tuned, I think (hope) you'll see those shackles come around just fine.
