ok guys i need your help, i want some 52' and 56's. right now i have my truck apart putting a cucv rear and a d60 in the front of it, locking both and gearing both. now whats yalls opinion on tackling the 52 swap and 56 swap? worth it? and for the 56's would yall recommend a better shackle flip or can i use my echobit still? and what size shackle for the rear do you recommend? 6 or 7? i am trying to get around 7-8 inches out of these. thank guys feel free to give me a heads up or any other info.

Do you have crossover and do you drive the truck on the road?

i was wondering about this as well. a friends said i would have a bit of sway. mine would be on the street

yes i dont have a trailor and no i have push pull steering.

52's or 56's without crossover is not going to work. Your steering will bind and any time the driver side droops the tires will steer hard right even with the steering wheel turned all the way to the left.

Having 52's or 56's on the street is marginal but can be done.

ok guys another question then. i have 6 inch lift springs for the front and extended shackle making one more inch of lift. how can i get that much out of the rear with a echobit shakle flip. the shackle flip gave me about 5 inches. igot a zero rat how about a 6 inch udr shackle for the rear? (i got to weld on new spring perches because of cucv 14b)

what about a spring perch that is 1 or 2" taller?

 

[nerraw117]

you are a genius. i forgot about that
