Re: TCI rear spring kit

Oh forgot to mention mine is a 3/4 ton chassis as well so it is a little longer than 1/2 ton.

Re: TCI rear spring kit

Here is what I did. We boxed the frame so I welded the crossmember in place.

Re: TCI rear spring kit

try mounting the shocks to the front side of the bar, maybe they will be more vertical with room to work up and down over bumps without interference?

Re: TCI rear spring kit

Do you have any current pics of your project? I am just starting out and curious how the truck sits with the TCI rear leaf package (without additional lower blocks).

Re: TCI rear spring kit

The way PFG545 did his looks right on the money. Good angles, decent clearance and a nice clean job.
