betsy my work turck

[tasian]

i've made a bit of progress on the truck in the last few weeks but i've been to busy working on it to post anything most of it has just been little stuff thats not really picture worthy but i did finally lower the front end i cut a coil off and it netted me about a inch and a half i didn't really get before and after pictures but this is a older picture i had



and this one is the day i cut the springs the angles a little different but you get the idea



it helped even the front and back out a bit but i was still a lot higher in the front so i was thinking about cutting another half coil but luckily i saw something in Rob's make it handle thread about flipping the shackle on leaf spring trucks which i had thought about trying for a long time but i had been having a hard time finding any info on the flip

so i grabbed a tape measure a grinder and a hammer and went to work (also didn't get many pictures here)

heres a older picture i had from about the same angle



and this is after about 13 hours



you cant really tell from this angle of course but the body sits about level now (i'll try to get some real pictures with a real camera soon) im not sure how much is because i gained about 2 inchs of clearance from the axle and how much is because of the shackle flip but it rides SO much better now it was differently worth the $15 dollars it cost me
