Re: 73-87 4x4s

must have been a farm truck, it was most certainly abused, I drug it out of the junk yard long enough to get what was left of it. front end, rear end, drive shafts and 350 engine. stuck a battery in it and it spun right over, I was surprised.

The PO of my truck built the lift himself. I know it sounds bad, but he did a really good job for the most part. The only thing I don't like is the 3.5" lift blocks up front. I'm planning on removing the blocks and running 33's when I go back to work and get some money. Over all, the way it sits, it has 6" of lift, and 35's. For the next few years I'm going to lower it, as it's a DD. When I get a new DD in the next year or two, I'm going to rebuild the 84 and lift it 8" on 37-38's.

In the second pic you can see the lift blocks. I'm not happy with them, and I'm always the first to say don't do it, but the rest of the truck was in such great shape I couldn't pass it up, over something I can change easily. I just didn't intend to lose work as fast as I did, so things go put on hold.

Re: 73-87 4x4s

Don't put blocks in the front, I hate them, they are dangerous, my truck has them because of the PO, and as I stated they are coming out in the next week or so. Your front end probably sags because your suspension is old, once you put the new 6" lift in you'll have plenty of room for 35's and your truck well level out.

oh wow really thanks for telling me that is great to know.Im actually a new driver lol just got my license so im kind of concerned about driving with a 6 inch im ok at balancing the truck i might need a traction bar or whatever that is underneath.Does it wobble when you drive or turn constantly ? and thanks for telling me about the blocks yea the truck is low it was even lower and when i used to drive and hit bumps the truck used to hit the tire and scrap...But the old vet who had it took care of it tho the tire are also 31s.

Depends on the state and country, but they should be illegal everywhere.
