64" rears are in!!!!!!!!!!

[rubbinz raczn]

got the 64's in tonight i was hoping to get the 56's in the front also, but got off on another tangent this morning.(pulling seat- floor mat- seat belts etc.) you can see in pic the old front hanger mount, 22 inches forward from stock. rear hanger mount moved about 10. if i leave 6 inches of frame rail behind rear hanger i can still hack 15 inches off rear frame

what is the wheelbase gonna be?

if i left the front stock it would be 118" i will gain 2 inches for sure with the front spring swap. i may also use zero rates i have lying around to push front forward total 3-1/2 inches so ballpark 122" max

You're going to have some serious drive line angles there aren't you??

yes, i can see they're lift springs, but i was wondering why you used lift springs rather than a shackle flip.

you mean when it flexes? maybe, i will be running 1410 shafts so that should help. net lift should be 5 inches or less so hopefully not too bad!

a few reasons. by the time i bought the flip,bought used springs and replaced bushings i have about the same into the springs. i can also use the stock shackle setup. do shackle flips flex more or just lift? i may be giving up a little flex with a lift spring but believe me these things flex you can push down on rear frame rails and compress the springs a bunch! right or wrong this is the direction i am heading in so i will have input all the way. so far i am happy with results! getting ready to do the 56" front swap right now hope to get it in and get pics up tonight
