One more time.... The 235-55's are @ all 4 corners. If you wouldn't mind verifying, what size are the inner rears?

any one using the hanger/shackle kit to lower the rear? how much does it really lower by removing the overload leaf and this combo? and if using a flip kit i read it 8" is a notch really neccesary?

Shackle & hanger combo's typically yield 4" of drop. Removing the helper leaf is prob 1" or less.

When I measured my CC dually for the flip kit it would have left me w/about 1" between the axle tube & the bottom of the frame & a similar amount between the top of the differential (Dana 70HD) & the bed floor.

Clunker.... What the stats on your build (drop, wheel/tire sizes, mods, etc...)?

[fun in dirt]

Sold about 8 yrs ago & guy just let it set up. Now the new owner has contacted us for details on its build & very excited to have it....good to see someone appreciate it again!

No 2 trucks are exactly the same. Knowing there's possible differences & w/o looking @ your exact set-up I'm only answering based on what my truck indicated.

Based on mine, shackle & hangers would work w/a air over leaf helper & stock frame rails for sure. With a flip kit, notching the frame would have been mandatory. But if that was done, towing wouldn't have been an issue since nothing was changed other than the flip.

gotcha, thanks for the fast responce

Looking for a clean low mileage 73-87 single cab dually 2wd. I'm located in California but if the truck is right I will buy anywhere in the US. Must be clean, real clean.

This thread is full of great looking trucks, and this is a cool site. Glad to be here.

Very nice Clunker!

[LOW1TON]

Nice setup clunker! thats going to be a very cool truck. I like the fact you are running a taller tire in the front and rear than are usually ran. keep the pictures and progress coming.

[Don SC]

Man. That framework and suspension is totally awesome Clunker. Thanks for sharing!

Sorry, not on here much. Pretty sure the inners may be stock wheels. I will look when I get home for you. Sorry for the delayed response.

Also my truck has the stock 4.10 gear and at 65mph she is screaming. Should I go with a 3.73 or 3.42? Makes the truck not enjoyable to drive if you have to avoid interstates. lol

I just bought this on CL a few days ago to flip, if it doesn't sell in a couple weeks its may get DD duty for me.
