Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
I couldn't stand how it looked at stock height so I swapped in my 5 in drop springs in the rear but ran out of time to lower front but heres some pics anyway.
I couldn't help my self and I took a pic when I was gasing up! |

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
Holy smokes at over 18 feet you have officialy made land yacht status!
Now I understand why some guys are sectioning the front of the bed or tossing the body on a 4-wheel steering frame. It's just awesome in sheer length, and one of my favorite builds to watch. |

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
A longbed is 206.25 " overall length = 17'.187" and a shortbed is 186.75 " = 15'.5625" so it seems your about 20" longer overall than a standard cab longbed.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
Well not much progress this weekend, tucson hit its first 100 degree day yesterday and today its 105. But I did manage to get the truck off the trailer and work on it a little. I did a quickie lowering job on the front end so it would sit level
and I failed at that still to high. So I went ahead and mocked up fenders and grill for a few pics. I didn't use my 68 core support because I didn't want to scratch it up so I used a later one just for mock up. so heres some pics |

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
I don't know how much you know about these trucks so I just thought I would throw this out there, if you already know then great.
You can only lower the front end 2" before the alignment geometry on stock spindles is unreconcilable, you will have to get 2.5" drop spindles, with 1 or 2" drop springs depending in how low you want to go, then on top of that you will have to either modify your stock upper Control Arms or buy/build upper drop tubular control arms because the angle of the ball joint will be too extreme. |
