I've never had the chance to dyno it want to. It has 1500 springs in front and the huge block removed and 1 inch block taking it's place. Yes still have 285 and they have never rubbed.

Great looking truck and awesome job so far! Keep it up!

What did you use for material for the traction bars? I see they are a third like that you cut down and welded to steel tube. What was the steel tube you used?

oh sorry rear drive shaft has 1in removed.
the traction bar pipe is 1.5 sch 40 not sure on the lengths and the ends are center links bars from tractor supply.

The truck rides great there is only 1.25 from the front end and the bump stops. If i hit a hard enough spot it will bottom out, I need to get new shocks bad im still riding around on factory rigs.

Truck looks good.. Mine is lowered the same amount all the way around, everyone thinks it's a 2wd. Also I just cut 3/4 of coil off my oem spring. For anyone may be looking to do the same.

NELSON359
03-05-2014, 06:28 PM
yea I was about to do the same with my springs but I called the junk yard close to me and guy said he had them for 30 bucks for both so I just did that, that way I have my factory ones to go back to. thanks for the love fellas I just wish I knew the engine stuff like some of the people here. I have the metal building down just cant get all engine/pump tuning down hahah. reading is my worst part wish some of the guys lived around me that's doing it to help me hands on hahah.

Idk if the 2wd spring is the same as the 4wd spring but I am about to cut mine on my 4wd. I noticed the base is flat on the spring so if I cut it it will be beveled afterwards. Any issues with that on yours?

Feels like the converter is locked when I am in first but when i get in to fourth the converter will not lock. Tim is good and builds a awesome trans. thinking its a VB issue. I want a manual VB any way so the trans is taking a trip to Darren Morrison soon as we get this nuke back running at work.

It looks to be running pretty clean in that shot, but it may be because of the blurry picture. Either way, adding some fuel may stop that, but I've also seen a few more degrees of timing help as well.
