Resurrect old stuff because it's funny.

Quote:

I tried the Tundra's in the rear, but they didn't give me enough lift. So, I took 2 LC coils and welded them together end to end for ~10" of lift for the rear. Up front, I'm running Kenworth semi springs with 2.5" Daystar spacers, 3" Revtek spacers and 4 SS topouts per side. Right now, my CV's are almost vertical, so I'm working on a homemade 6" diff drop built out of wood and cardboard and will have it put it this weekend. This setup makes my rig ride like a Cadillac and I have ~3' of articulation in the rear and at least 2' in the front.

For tires, I'm running 225/30 R24 BFG's, but will be switching to Ground Hawg 44's in the coming days. I hope there's not too much trimming to do, but am having a buddy come over just in case. I'll post up pics Monday to show you how it looks! Does anyone know if there's a company out there that makes a jack for my rig...or a ladder? If so, pm me. Thanks!

Hah! Funniest thing ev-er.

I'll add my 2 cents here as well. I ran 2 spacers over the last 8 months or so and finally took one of them out today (per side obviously). The reason being is that I was noticing some vibration at highway speeds as well as my CV's were oozing grease out of them so I knew that if I left them in, that I would have a failure at the worst possible time. I also realized after I took them out, the ride became alot more smooth where it seemed a bit more "hoppy" in the front end with them in. Nice bonus!
