safety glasses dont get in the way as much as loosing an eye. hate to preach but I've had 4 eye surgeries on my eyes for having stuff in them (slow learner)
now because of all the digging in my eyes I have lots of scare tissue and I'm starting to go blind in my right eye. so take it from some one that didnt like wearing safety glasses and now is regreating it

now back to your truck I'm woundering if because of the amount of springs you had in the pack if they have more of an arc then the std 1tons springs and thats what holding up the rear end

I would think that they would settle over time especially with the reduced springs but maybe not! I am amazed how much higher it sits then mine!

I forgot to ask,did you install a wedge for the pinion angle?

No no wedge :S never read anything about a wedge..... do share....

1tonchevy · 03-18-2011, 01:32 PM

502SS i need bolts for the hangers. what size did you use?

madcow75 · 03-18-2011, 03:43 PM

What I have been using on all my drilled out factory rivets are 3/8"NCx1" flange locking nuts and bolts. A little more money but I think they are worth it. Grade 8 is a must. Works out to be about $1.00 a piece at fastenal. One last thing don't forget the locktite.

1tonchevy · 03-27-2011, 06:23 PM

willpost info on what i did/ happened on this interesting jurney please enjoy these pics for the time being

mooseknuckles · 03-27-2011, 06:28 PM
