52 inch front swap without xover steering

[pvfjr]

I'm not 100% sure why someone would want to do a 52" spring swap when you really wouldn't be able to take advantage of its benefits (mad droop is pretty much the benefit)... but I guess if it was one step in the build progression, you could do it before you did x-over.

That's true, that's why I never swapped to them in my truck with the old 1/2 ton stuff. Now that I have crossover and everything, I'm considering it. I'll have do decide whether or not I'm still happy with my lift springs.

We just did it on my friend's truck, cause that was the only way we could get a free lift. If we had some 4" lift springs laying around that were stock length, we probably would've used them. This truck wasn't built to be a hard core wheeler anyway. All the same, it turned out pretty good. That truck has come a long way. Used to be 2wd auto, now it's got about 4-5" lift, 37" open country tires on 17" H2 rims. Looks pretty sharp, drives pretty good, and doesn't get stuck in the snow half way up his driveway anymore either. Mission accomplished, on a tight budget. We're happy with it at least.

No I'm not a Kerry voter, I'm a vet. That wouldn't make much sense would it?

So why the personal attacks all the sudden? Can't a guy express some opinions about what has/hasn't worked for him now? I haven't called anyone or anything stupid, as you have. Let's not get out of hand here.

I don't really care how old you are, but I can respect your extensive wheeling experience. My age, however, does not make me ignorant on all subjects. You don't know me, don't try to stereotype me. Your extensive wheeling experience, however, is just wheeling experience. Which is great, if people are asking about what's best for wheeling. No one even asked him what purposes this truck is for though. If it's for utility use around town, or some light wheeling, he'll probably be fine. Not everyone here is on the same level as you. I figured with single digit posts, he's probably still cutting his teeth on the wheeling world, and we're probably not talking about a hardcore offroading rig here. You don't have to have crossover, especially if you can't afford to buy the steering arm and studs twice.

Also, WTH are you talking about fan belts for? You're confusing me.

Where specifically did I engage in personal attacks??

The closest I think I came was calling a couple of your statements 'mang'.

If that's what twisted your panties, I apologize.

And the Kerry thing; I was refering to your, 'If you didn't do it, your opinions don't count' mentality. Because that was one of Kerry's arguments during the elections.
