Everything here is similar to stock design, except 2" longer. The hangers are 1/4" wall, and the shackles are 3/8 on one side, and 1/2 on the other. (What I had laying around lol)

 

Looks like your springs are shot lol.

ARe you able to put the front driveshaft in it or no because of the lift?

 

I had to have a new one made cuz the last one I had made before I changed the yolk and that height, so yes, but I probably would not have if I wouldn't have destroyed my original shaft. lol If it helps, i have 29.5 inches from the flange on the t-case to where the center of the u-joint cap would be on the yolk.

 

that looks pretty good randy. How much did you say it lifted your front? like 2 inches? that looks pretty simple really.

 

Thanks randy!

That is along the same lines of what i thought about doing to the front spring, front perch. I will know more on friday when i go down to finish bolting the springs to the axles. Then throw those now small looking wheels/tires on the truck and check for body roll and etc. That should allow me to measure for the right size spring for my application

 

You will have to do an allignment too. It changes the angle on the drag link a little. Now my wheel turns like 1.5 turns to the right, and like 2 turns to the right. lol

 

as long as it drives/stops straight, i can live with making right u-turns

 

is that just a home made leveling kit?

 

I would suggest some type of brace between both of the purches.
Have someone turn the wheel lock to lock and watch.

 

That's prolly not a bad idea 93flatbed. I think I will do that tomorrow. I can always brace it up. Infact, I thought about integrating a receiver hitch!

 

quick detach winch

 

x2 on the springs being substantially worn. In the first image, the second leaf has cut BIG-TIME into the top leaf. I wonder how far one can go till the top leaf breaks?

I need to go check mine . ... .

 

mine must of been replaced at some point in its life because mine aren't as bad as most other 1st gens i've seen. Mine are about level right now. My buddy's 92 is way bad, he keeps jokin that he should flip them upside down and run them another 100,000

 

You'd think that by now, the reversed arch would've taken a "Set".

 

I was going to comment on the negative arch springs, this truck must have sagged in height considerably since it was new.

An excellent illustration why you should install spring tip isolators.
