Re: 35 Years In The Making!
John Taller tire or rim will work. But not at this time for sure. I have to have the tire up in the fender.That is the look I want lol. I will look at the crossmember and see what I can do. But I have pushed it to the max. I just cut one coil. Only one. If I change the front up to much then the The back has to be raised. And I love the look of it now

Re: 35 Years In The Making!
G man. Have you lookied at sectioning 1.5" out of the front crossmember?
Lets the truck sit low but the crossmember will tuck higher, you can run a taller spring , so, same low stance. But more clearance Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 35 Years In The Making!
Yea sounds like the plan now. If I can get clearance on the lower control arms that would be great. Oh well I have cut everything else up, why not that too. Less cost this way so that is the plan.

Re: 35 Years In The Making!
Oh been down with work. Very busy seems like nothing less than 11 hours a day again. This past week been down with a feaver of 101 102 but worked all week Dock said nothing this weekend and this morning is the first time the sheets were not wet from sweat when I woke up. Feel pretty good not like flew its been hard to get over it. Work not a good thing but too many guys on vac and Injured list anyway. My white Blood cel count is very low but he said a virus will do that. Oh also I also drank a lot of water and he said I need to get a Gatorade in there now and then. So I think I am on the mend. But not much progress on the truck. House is looking great with the new paint and Gutters. Thanks John.

Re: 35 Years In The Making!
Sorry to hear you've been sick Bob. I imagine the temps we've been having don't help either. Hope you get better soon.

Re: 35 Years In The Making!
Thanks Absintheisfun. I have been so busy at work. The Freight is out of control and getting a ton of over time. I have to make some decisions on my pickup with the front crossmember. Should just put air ride up front and just move forward. I love the stance also and I will find a way some how. I just need a couple of more inches of ground clearence and I will be happy. Should just buy a Potrebuilt crossmember and be done with it. That is the ticket. It seems like every year I say I will make it to Goodguys and well going to have to wait till next year. I try to make the build fun and when it starts to go the other way I stand back and go boating. Goodguys starts tomorrow in Spokane Wa and I will try very hard to get over there and check it out.
