63" Rear spring swap done

[zcarczar]

Well here it is, if everyone wants I can do a write up on it. Install was pretty easy. Hardest part was making sure everything was close to being straight and square so my truck drives straight. My rear axle ended up about 2" back, so my wheelbase is around 4" longer than stock, somwhere around 110-112" I think. It rides VERY nice, even without shocks. Probably gonna order shocks tomorrow, I can decide if I should go with standard resi shocks or bypasses.

How much more flex do you think you got from going from 56" to 63" springs?
Any other beniifits over the 56"s?

 

[Jonny-K5]

Jason,

Is the driveshaft connected in that first pic? There's something crazy-looking about that photo.....

Well, there is a front one, but I dont have a rear shaft yet. I drove up that rock in front wheel drive, it took a few tries but I did it.

Its really hard to say how much more travel I got from this thing, but I did get a lot more droop. I didnt get that much more compression due to the fact that my tires were already rubbing hard on the wheel tubs in the back, but I think with some more tuning I can get more travel out of it.
