By flip do you meen flip it over so it wil bolt in or flip as put it under the arms by moving the moiunting pads? If you move the pads to the top and reset your pinion angle then their is not ill affects. If you meen flip it over so it can bolt in then the only affects are all your forward gears *(1st, 2nd and 3rd) are now all reverce and your reverce is now your only forward gear!

How is your tire to fender clearance when the suspention is at full bump? Do you plan any flare's or cutting? Please don't respond that you will not be taking it off road because that is not what we want to hear

kevin i have seen guys put the axle on the bottom of the trailing arms , looked like the pinion was fine or maybe they shimmed it, I am pretty sure that i am going to lift the rear with springs, and i have plans on using this truck to go out an thrash in , I think i have all the steering bugs worked out and think i have the bump street under control, i have planned on talking to you comming up about some ideas,this weekend all the rest of the parts should be here and i can get some work done

Dinos63 · 04-14-2008, 08:17 PM

I had i little time to work on my lifted truck this weekend.( my nephew helped of course) still haven't got all my front stuff back from the machine shop.I have almost every thing mock up and i think it will all work.I switched out my rear springs with a old 3/4 ton camper special i have, that is were i also got the bed from.I had some old bag mounts and i used those for a added 4" total it went up about 10".The tires are huge and can't hardly wait to go out and thrash this truck

Dinos63 · 04-14-2008, 08:19 PM

Hey Dino.......this truk is looking more killer than I thought it would!! 572 under the hood?

*Dylan · 04-15-2008, 08:04 AM

This thing looks awesome, makes me contemplate whether or not I still want to lower mine. It's only 2wd though and don't see much of a point in lifting other than looks.

Dino, check the cost of the 12 ranchos vs the cost of 4 2.5" fox, sway-a-way or king remote resivoirs, including the cost of fabbing up all of the stuff to mount them. You may also want to check out pirate4x4.com or race-dezert.com for some used ones.
