pics of my lift/axle install

[K5Chris]

i "had" 2.5" lift, 10bolts front/rear, 4.56 gears, detroit rear auburn front, and 33's
i now have 6" tuff country, 14 boltFF rear, 5.13 gears, detroits front & rear, 8 lug front, new 3/4 ton disc brakes all the way around, and 37x12.50-16 SSR's on 16x10 Eagle alloy 589's
did it all in about a week
still need to put on the F250 shock towers
the shocks i got are Gabriel 12" travel gas charged shocks from autozone, 20 bucks a piece.
im thinking about getting a HAD 1350 CV rear shaft sometime in the near future.

before lift:

after lift (with 33's):

somewhere in between

easy, took like 20 minutes.

i bought some 153 pads for the front, and they were too thick with the new rotors, so ill have to get some 52's.

Looks good! /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif I have the same jack and jack stands as you do, only half as many.

Looks good could you get me a measurement from the ground to the bottom of your rockers on your current setup....

Just trying to guestimate my increase in height with my newest setup... /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif

 

[K5Chris]

yeah ill get a measurment tomorrow.

this is the best i could do for flex right now. i just wanted to see how much i needed to trim. it doesnt rub at all on the street while turning. i was only able to get it to barely touch with these little ramps.

springs ride great, and i love the 5.13's. they are very close to the 4.56/ 33's i had before.

Working in the rain, looks like fun! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
I think you should have left that mad rake on your truck though, I liked it!

But don't you think painting your ring gear yellow was a bit excessive? It's all ready for the scarry steering page!!!

what? i thought everyone painted their ring gear yellow. i heard it reduces friction and gives you like 3 horsepower. some guy in a civic gave me that tip. i think it worked!

whats wrong with my steering? other than it being push pull. i know i need xover bad.
