Hell Creek Suspension - FJ 62

[Gallo Pinto]

That's a really good looking truck, Cajun. Looked good even without the lift.
What's the ride comfort level like? One of the things that scare me about the Dakkar Heavy is that (and I'm going by what other people say) is a rough ride.

Here are a few shots pre-lift

I forgot to ask you was you running any extend shackles or anti-inversion shackles before or after the lift?


If not that is one fine looking lift

 

[cruiser88]

I personally will not need anything for the sway bars .


The more I think about the shims the more i like the spacers at the crossmember


I am still holding out for these. I now know I at least have one spring broke in the front

Everything was stock pre-lift. I bought some greaseable shackles from Man-A-Fre and that's it.

Rear Passenger Underside View

Almost rolled it at the Southern Cruiser Crawl. Here's one shot of some angles.

On the hotshot

The lift gave very little even when strapped down about as tight as possible on this hotshot rig.

Looks like the spring is on the verge of inverting.... so why make them shorter??

Thanks, I do appreciate the compliment. And I love this rig. It's so awesome and very tough, even before the lift.

I've been driving around non-stop since I put the lift on. This is my daily driver. This weekend I'm driving it up to North Louisiana to ride the new ORV park in Sicily Island. It's a 3 hour drive and I'll do 70 down the interstate with no problem and in pretty good comfort. There's still a little bounce in the front when I'm on some bumpy streets but that's probably b/c the rear springs are a little too long and the rear sits lower than it should. These new rear springs should fix that.

Usually it points more to the rear of the rig under normal conditions. In the bind I'm in there in that hole, my front driver side is dug in and all the weight is pushing that way. I think that pulled that rear driver tire and shifted the other up pretty far. At least that's what I'm thinkin'.

This looks like a nice kit. I have the heckethorn shocks on mine and they do a very good job.

Still dont like the tcase drop though, i would beat my case to a pulp that low.
