Change of plans a bit I think. I think the 56's are going to go on the rear, then rebuild the rears (52's) for the front. Just makes more sense for now. If I need more flex I'll link the biatch!
Got the factory front out (***** of a job), got some useless crap taken off/cleaned up off the frame, factory 1 ton 47s up front for now to get her rolling till the 52's come out. Taking out the upper bushing assemblies to rebushing them with some neoprene kits I picked up on the cheap. Antisieze doused onto the bolts this time so I can get them out at a later date.
Getting ready to order up a crossover steering kit (unless someones got one to sell), and some new bushings with greasable bolts for the other spring pack and the front eyes for the 56's. New cables for the batteries, new batteries themselves, and front bumper off. (good excuse to get the bender mounted to the floor in the shop)
Also took the factory hangers that I am using for the shackle flip and moved the frame bracket upward 3" to make up the other 1.5" of lift that the othere hanger kits give. Gives alot clearer shot of the nut on the backside now instead of it just filling up with dirt and screwing the bolt. And found some shackles from ORD that I had laying around/left over from the SAS project a few years back. They are only 5" long, but are way stronger and still longer than the stockers by an inch or so. Will work for now I'm sure.
