i think i just about got it how i want it... well for now at least! let me hear what you think. 3" spacers in front. 1.5 blocks in rear. bilstein 5100 shocks.



the wheels are 17x8 american eagle 058's with 4.5 back spacing. tires are 325 70 17 (35x13.5) toyo open country all terrain. they stick out about 2" but thats what i was kind of going for, it started looking to tall and skinny.

they clear the fender but rub the plactic inner wheel well at full lock


i built some sway bar drop brackets and rear bump stop brackets out of 2in square tubing.

 

i also relocated to hole in the frame for the track bar to center the axle. i drilled a new hole and reinforced the hole with 3/16 plate welded to front and back of the factory bracket. i drilled the hole about .400 over from stock location.


so far everything is working together pretty good. feel free to ask any questions.

 

Looks great Scott!

The new wheels/tires look great, perfect height too...

 

Man the truck looks sweet, I dont know much about suspension work but it looks like nice work.

 

Hows the ride?

 

rides as smooth as i remember it at stock. a little weight makes it better though!

 

thats a nice setup you got there

 

nice setup on the truck. Looks good. What kinda tip is that you got?

 

sharp truck

 

Nice work with the spacers and relocation of the trac bar. Now that's using your head. I planned on making spacers, but never thought of the trac bar.

 

hi, just want to know if the other component of the suspension is stock???
upper and lower arm,pitman arm.....
any pics of the spacer instaled....

 

6 inch bull hauler. my buddy gave it to me, i would not have spent the $250 for it!

 

i was going to try and make a drop bracket but this ended up being easier. and its still at the same angle as the steering linkage that goes from the pitman arm.

 

every thing else is stock. i dont have any pics of the spacer but it looks like everybody elses coil spacers.

 

ok thanks for the info bsj04
