Just an update on the crossover steering, the kingpin caps come with a preload adjustment bolt on the top. This eliminates the spring and keeps a constant adjustable tension on the kingpin bushing. I am curious to see how it works. They have a cap with the adjustment for the other side aswell which i ordered. I will get pics when it arrives.

As some may be watching my crossover steering is a work in progress. On the plus side i have a gear vendors on its way. Received the adapter and electronics today, should have the unit itself in the next few days.

 

If you go with front leaf springs what brand you looking to use? I need a set in my truck.

 

I would go with alcans myself.

 

Same here, I've been looking into them.. put it on my wish list hehe.

 

Well i am ordering Alcan 2'' lift springs tomorrow aswell as Bilstein shocks all around. Will be running air bags in the rear too.

Going to add all greasable bushings/bolts to the mix.

 

Take pictures of your ride when you're done! Interested in this!

 

Will do!

Springs and shocks are ordered.

 

Recieved my Bilsteins today!

 

What size tires are you running right now and are you planning on going taller when you get the new springs on? I'm really interested in hearing your thoughts on the 2" lift Alcans and Bilstein shocks, as I am seriously leaning towards this on my own truck, pending funds for the project. Also, what part number Bilsteins did you order? Thanks.

 

265/75-16 i think. Depends how much it lifts the truck, may step up to 33's.

I actually ordered 5'' lift for the rear to rid of the 3'' block and asked them to hold on the bushings as i will be installing full greasables all around.

I had them make the back springs pretty soft as i will be using air bags for towing/hauling.

It was ~$1000USD+shipping for springs and $420CAD for shocks.

Shocks:

I ordered 4 of the 33-186542 (0-2.5'' lift) as they told me the front and back are the same shock number now.

 

Interesting on the shocks, I thought the rear shocks were 2" longer than the fronts. Thanks for the info.

I'm interested in hearing the ride report when you get done with it.

 

Yes i am skeptical too but i asked and that is what they told me, its on them if its wrong.

 

Also, was about 440USD for all greasable bushings with 5/8's bolts from jungle. This includes all spring eye bushings, rear spring shackle bushings and front spring rear frame bushings/shackles and mounts.
