Think 4" lifted 56s? The rear springs are 4" lifted 52s.

Seems really tall to me.
I run 2" lift 52's in front with Ferd f150 57's in the rear with an ez inch and it sits pretty even unloaded.

Cool. Maybe I'll head to the pick and pull and get some stock 56s and figure it out from there.
Thanks for the feedback.

What year Ford for the 57s? What bushings do ya run to make them fit?
... most of the yards around here are pretty picked over and I'm having a hard time sourcing stock 56s.

Cool... researching/searching info on them right now.
and the donor truck was a 2wd, not sure if that matters though.

I do have a set of rear 63s/64s hanging around too.... Not sure I want to pursue that one though.

Got rear 56s ordered. Started getting the front brakes on. 20 ton press vs brake rotor/wheel studs.
Rotor lost:

How'd that happen?

Pressing in the wheel stud... Sounded like a .308 going off. Had to check my shorts after.
Haha, holy crap! Yeah, I'd have poohed a little.
I assume you were supporting the rotor where the pads ride on it?

No problem with this one...
here is another example of the previous owner's idea of a "recently rebuilt front end"... over the years and various builds I've learned to check.
scorched races:
Getting close to wrapping up the front end... got some goodies coming tomorrow.
