Thanks a bunch, lcwizard
Why isn't the jack under the pumpkin? Or maybe it's just pushed out of the way... I see the jack stands.

yup, axles sitting stands. i think i had the jack there to ensure that the axle didn't roll back. not really necessary me thinks.
So what eggactly you doing to it?

Shackle reversal!
- Thread starter
- #506
Ok so i sort of finished the shackle reversal today... I still need a few things:
-4 Shocks: either bilsteins or fox (because im a FAAAAANCY brand whore
)
-2 (frame to axle) Brake hoses: NAPA #38431's (18") OR #38009 (22")
In the next few months...
-35x12.50/17 Goodyear kevlars (if someone could just drop a set off at my house, id really appreciate it)
PICSSSSSS: (only of the "almost finished" project)
From where it was, it raised the front up about 2.5" and the extended shackles in the rear raised it about 1.75". Now all 4 sides are 39.5" - 40.25" from the ground to the fender.
The ARB bumper brackets need to be notched about 2" so that it will clear the front spring mount. ill get that back on after i get the SR completely welded and take some shots.
Hopefully ill have everything ordered within the week (except those 35s, cuz im out of monaaay)
If anyones got any questions, i will do my best to answer them

Drove the truck 20 miles to ACC with no front shocks. I really wish i had limo tint... people were watching me in awe as i was just pogo sticking my way down the highway lol.
FORK LIFT POSER SHOTS!
(Could've flexed more but my Ironman rear shocks were maxed out. The Bilsteins I ordered should remedy that immediately
)
Fahed's pic
Maxing out the forklift.... maybe not haha
I hope i never get this tipsy on a trail. Interior would turn brown in .0003 seconds.

Thanks! I think you've got me beat on flex though... And most other things lol
The truck is looking good dude! I have no clue if the SR really makes it much better, but at least you can bash em' into rocks more than a shackle!

Yeah, somehow he made it through without touching, there was about 3/4" between the rock and the truck. I, however, didn't and put a small dent below my rear marker light.
