Thanks for the info Blazinator! The shackles and torsion bar tightening sound like a good plan.

I'm going to look for some good suspension and do it all at the same time. I'll also open a new thread in a more appropriate category.

Your truck looks awesome by the way! Nice work!

 

Very nice! What size tires are on in the pics?

 

31x10.5r15

 

do you know the inside measurement is and the distance from center hole to center hole thanks, i have a pair that looks the same but i thought they were a little wide

 

it should be 8 inches between holes

every inch is an 1/2 inch lift

 

Mine are 6 1/2" center to center. :x

 

hmm only an 1 1/2 lift ?

 

2" lift should be 8 1/2" long, that's what i made mine to be

 

Might explain why my ball joints don't wear out too fast.

 

In the last of your pictures BlaziNator, you've got black and red shackles. Are the black ones the old shackles you replaced with the red ones?
