i found about 6 bags of ready mix in the rig really helped speed up the break in period and settle them right down.

Thank you Mark :cheers:


all the work I do on "THE BEAST" is at mark's shop with out his help
I would be screwed



thanks again
 
pig gets the rack at marks off road. Thanks mark for letting me work on my 55 at your shop :cheers:


 
Here is the shackle angel nice :D the extra 1" makes a big difference
I had to grind a bit of the eye's of the springs (bolth ends) as they are to wide.
The front hangers I used a big cresent wrench to open them up a little bit. The rear I used a hack saw to trim the bushings to get them to fit. Mark had some of old shocks from his lifted 45 that where just the right size ;) he he



sweet
 
the new hight. the pig sits darn near level now i'm very happy with the alcans. The ride is smooth and cushy it rides as smooth as the old springs. I was very suprised


 
Here it is :) i will get a day light pic tomorrow on flat groung

The shackle angels lifted on the top factory on the bottom pic
I think it came out nice

:cheers:
 
Calico...

Dude looks sweet... now my old pig has Alcans... cool.... I bought the set I have from Ben..... I like everything but the front spring shackle angle. I would like to see what yours looks like. The rears look good as do mine.
I swear those Yoko's got to be like 6 years old dude (i think i bought those in 2001)... time for some new tires....

What shocks are you using?

I currently have the pig in the garage torn down to nothing... not sure when its going to be back on the road.... but maybe god willing it might be in the next couple months.

I only did the rear springs, the front is the same except for longer shocks. The rear shocks are pro comps from marks 45 with 5'' alcans not sure of the size


Tires? thanks for reminding me :crybaby: I have 3 trucks that need tires
I want to put Yoko's on the pig again I like them :)
 
I'm looking into a lift for my 55, you installed the 4" Alcan on stock shackles, how much did it cost you? Mind posting a daytime shot of it? I'm thinking I'm going to go that route. :cheers:
