Well the weather is still crummy, but we had to test out the hoodstack. Installed a version of the RCC lift as well. Sits basically level now. Still plan to get air bags to compensate for the weight box.







Here is some 3rd gear launches:

 

Did you make the drop front hangers?? They look pretty good... those front springs on the other hand are arched pretty bad... How much drop over stock are the new spring hangers??

Also looks like you got a little tranny leak!!

 

sure spools fast and looks cool,

fix that power steering leak or is it diesel

 

I made the brackets and shackles, 3/8" plate. Google "rcc lift" and you will find plans/prints for them. They have the shackle flip for the rear, too. Gives basically 3" over stock.

If you use the plans the outer rivet/bolt does not line up. It is too far to the rear. Drilling the holes larger made it fit.

The red stuff is atf in the power steering. We also rebuild the steering gear. Had to bleed it out.

 

cool, I make all my own shackles... Just wondering if you bought or made them..

 

Sweet truck.

take it back by the previous owner and show him what you did to it and give him a ride.

does that have the stock clutch still?

 

You still runnin the stock sticks in that Curt

 

did u have to get longer brake lines and a drop pitman arm?? Cuz i need to do that to my 90 to give me clearance between my Chevy (yea i kno) axle and my oil pan cuz of my 4wd conversion. She sits a little too close for comfort for me.

 

Unfortunately they are still the stock injectors.

A droppped pitman arm or dropped drag link would be ideal. The brake line has plenty of slack. You can see it in the pics.

I am thinking about x-over steering now, looks like it will fit. We tapped the box for hydro assist, just got to get the cylinder.

 

Looks kinda funny with the stacks in the bed still.

 

Hook it up so smoke comes through all 3 stacks.

Not sure how that would work though. I imagine a creative enough individual could make it work, given plenty of flex pipe and 90's.

 

Now THAT would be something to see!

 

In-bed dual stacks AND duals exiting behind the rear wheels; that would be easier to plumb and more people would hate your for doing it.

 

i wonder.......make those so it's 6" taller. THEN get a 6" lift lol That'd be one taaaaalllllllll truck.

 

Nice job on the lift brackets!
