do the d-rings rattle around when you're driving?

I thought they would but I can't hear them.

Chevy rears and Ruf... I just figure around 3 inches

 

[iamsparticus]

Oh yeah i totally forgot i was reading the new posts and thought you said you had 3 inch springs but yeah rufs and chevys are about 3. I had a customer ask if he needed the 4 or 3 inch TG springs to clear 35's and i told him three

Put my rear bump stops on so I don't ripe off my fancy fender flares and had to flex it off. So here is my poser shots...

I love this truck

 

[iamsparticus]

I installed my new brake master cylinder... This makes the brakes way better!!! I already had the v6 calipers now I have the matching MC..

 

[leorn]

More check engine lights... this time it was the ignition coil.
That's why I kept dieing in Moab and almost rolled on potato salad hill. I am glad to get this fixed. It will no longer randomly die...

 

[sixstringsteve]

good to know. Let's go back to potato salad hill now

I'm down... I have recurring thoughts how I should have made that.. it's really sad.

Change my front leaf packs. I took out the bottom leaf the shortest and added a full length leaf. It didn't add any lift and it stiffened my springs :thumbs:
Also to fix my front broken bump stops I am going to use the bigger style ones like on my rear.

What's the twinstick for if you're already planning a crawl box?

 

[Marsh99]

Well the front tcase that I referenced to as a crawl box is just a high/low box . Then you have the dualcase adapter that connects it your regular tcase with high/low and 2wd/4wd. The twin stick goes on the rear case to make the high/low work independent of 2wd/4wd.
