i thought i would make this pose fpr anyone who wanted to know how to put on a shackle and torsion lift, it might just help u out a lil. I got the shackles from oriley auto parts and used a couple of washers to get a perfect fit. MAKE SURE TO GET YOUR TIRES ALIGNED AFTER DOING ANY OF THIS WORK! any more questions just sent me an email or leave a message and ill reply.

You need a jack to push down your leaf spring to get the stock shackle off and then the new one on.

sorry if anyone posted this already, just wanted to help yall out

there 32s, the dont rub at all, but come pretty damn close

 

[dudeman1623]

they come really close in the front, if im on unlevel ground while my wheel is turned all the way, then i get some rub on the front bumper, but it hasnt touched the body or frame

 

[dudeman1623]

im not exactly sure, but its actually a lowering kit that used for dodge rams and chevys, itll be with all the leaf spring helpers and lift/lowering blocks. they fit perfect with the use of a few washers between the frame, let me go look for the box and see if i can get that part number

 

[dudeman1623]

hmmm, well my tires were noticable bowed in so i took it and got it aligned, i dunno y tho i figured it came from torsion, anyways i found the part number, its a belltech lowering kit, the number under the bar code, which im guessin is the part number is 2243906400, but the bellteck part number looks likes its 6400 its made for 88-03 gm 1/2-3/4-1 trucks, 97-03 ford f150, or a 94-99 dodge ram

 

[dudeman1623]

let me know how that works, im gonna be moving to 35s soon with a body lift and i think imma have to get 10 50s

 

[dudeman1623]

u can get the 11.50s with no rub if u want, i just like the look of a wider tire

 

[dudeman1623]

ill get the cam ready and go take some pictures of it as soon as it stops raining bud

 

[dudeman1623]

well guys im gettin my new shocks today prob some rancho 9000x's, ill have pictures of the install and truck up afterwards

 

[dudeman1623]

sorry its been taking so long its still raining out here, i did happen to find an open field filled with mud so i did get a pic of that but its not to great, cam phone pic heres it is tho

 

[dudeman1623]

ill get some clean ones out in the sunlight tom hopefully

 

[dudeman1623]

Theres another on the next page of the front of the truck. Well you guys requested them so here they are, the back end looks a little low in the pictures but its actually level, there is also a picture of how much my tires poke out with the backspaced rims, they are 32x11.50, there is also a picture of where i cut to stop the rubbing, it is not visible unless you stick your head in the wheel well. you can also see the way the dual exhuast is set up, i have no muffler so it quite loud

 

[dudeman1623]

i got the new headlight and i love to show em off

 

[dudeman1623]

the reason i have the light bar so far back is cuase i have limo tint all the way around front windshield included, and backing up at night time is impossible without them and it looked kinda goofy with just the two on the outside so i went ahead and added two more facing forward and they provie quite a good bit of light when needed at nighttime

 

[dudeman1623]

i would have def taken them off, it gives the truck a much cleaner and smooth look, take some pictures while doin it cuase im sure plent of ppl would like to do the same

 

[dudeman1623]

looks good, i thought about it, but i just went ahead and left mine black, they dont stand out to much on my truck cuase the exhaust covers them up so it not worth gettin them painted but it looks good on ur truck, keeps the theme goin with the shocks and nerf bars, btw are those ur stock dodge decals on the rear or did u get new ones?

 

[dudeman1623]

i havent had any problems so far, and i have gone threw some serious mud and unlevel terrain at mid speeds, to be honest tho, your front axles will wear a little faster and steering will strain a little with the bigger wheels but it wont cuase it to break.... and as far as your axles, the wear is little to almost nothing, those eventually have to be replaced to, as far as your ride goes, yes it will suffer, no not that bad and u can have a close or if not better than stock ride with shocks, any ?'s you have in detiai just reply

 

[dudeman1623]

what is 325/60 equivelent to? that sounds crazy! cant wait to see ur dgo tho

 

[dudeman1623]

looks good man i like how the tires stick out, im thinkin about mounting my swamper tsl on there to see how it looks there 32 12.50 but there actually like 14 inches wide

 

[dudeman1623]

hey austin2311, what size rim is that?
