Re: Francis the Tow Pig - 1949 GMC 250 Dually
I've got the '49 knocked out with the new springs.
It was a bit of a struggle and still had the "S10 lean" after I put in new springs, so I trimmed about 3/5ths of a coil off the passenger side and have it within an 1/8" of being level in the front. The new coils brought it up exactly 1.5". Before I started teh rear of the fender was 5.5" from the ground and sits at 7" now. If it settles 1/4-1/2" more, that would be perfect. Right now with 60lbs of air in the rear shocks it has about a 1/2" rake. It drives and rides awesome now, definitely made a HUGE difference.
The only in process photo I secured:
As it sits now:
PS - Thanks Russ for the info on cutting the bottom of the spring!
