Re: Its spring time

Looks good, I like the 31's on that lift. I was going to do 31's with 2.5" front and 4" rear springs, but was wondering if it would turn out. Now seeing yours with 4" all around, I think it will look great may even do 4" front and rear. good job, keep it up.

Re: Its spring time

Yah, but I like the look of the skinny tires. On my truck I'm running 37x12.5's and looks fine, so I will go with 31x10.5 for the smaller tires. I think yours looks good how it's set up now.

Re: Its spring time

Dave,
The shaft on the front of mine is 14.5" from weld to weld. I also measured the stock blue one and it it the`same. Who ever put the lift in the black one did not add to the shaft. Same goes for the rear. It is 26.5: weld to weld. Looks like the slip joint is not in the correct position anymore. Makes me want to drop it to 2wd

1st 2 pics are front shaft last 3 are the rear. The front shaft has a lot of play at the slip joint. The back shaft is pretty tight, no slop

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
