Sprungover Sixties

[JDay]

I'll chime in.

Been sprung over for about a year and half. Handles well with the front turned. I was passing most vehicles at 75 mph last time I went through the Virgin River Gorge on I-15, very stable.

Hey John-Your truck looks great since I last saw it at Cruise Moab 2003! Are those the 35" tires that you won in the raffle? Good poser shot anyway-where was the picture taken? I want to go there.

Those are the same tires, they have taken a beating since then. This was a joint run with SNLC and Wasatch Cruisers to Cedar City with Henry Brimmer. More pics are on our site at http://www.snlc.org/pictures/cedar city 9-18-04/cedarcity.html

Still haven't touched the 80.

I've driven with & without the sway bar. you can set your shocks much softer & get a much better ride with the sway bar connected. a sway bar will keep the body from rolling side to side of giving you death sway on the road w/ softer shocks.

I keep my sway bar connected full time & it does NOT limit flex. I dotched my disconnects a while ago since they are a total hastle.

here is the flex I get w/ the bar still connected on the front:

it'll droop more than that too! I'm a firm believer in sway bars for on road & even fast offroad driving.

someday I'd like to get a rear swaybar also

OME mediums with some leaves swapped around here and there. Definately will run something bigger when the 35s wear out.

Yep, I extended them about 6" using homemade versions of the stock with steel tubing & all-thread w/ stock bushings & nuts. I still have a disconect on one side because I'm too lazy to fab something up.

you get my email?
