Re: New project

Talked to Travis at Calvert today and he pulled up the specs from the Blue truck i had . Looks like they only make 2.5 inch springs @ 200 a # spring rate. This leaves me having a set made and then having them milled to 2.25 in front for the spring pocket or replacing the front mount . Also looking at moving to a 9/16" or 5/8" front eye bolt for safety reasons . Also considering a sllider style rear mount vs a shackle any input on this would be greatlly appreciated , ecspecially street drivability and manners .

I have been wondering why i had 7 degrees of nose down pinion angle . I took some of that out with a shim awhile back , looks like the spring has been flatting a little every pass for awhile . I'll be starting from scratch on the pinion angle with new springs and adjusting the heighth with the rear mount .

Looking at this front mount
