back on the road

Post by boots »

got pretty much all the loose ends tied up today, took it for its first test drive in about 5 months. Bump steer is eliminated, steering is tight, everything works great. Now I have to get an alignment and its a daily driver. Im very happy with the way the radius arm mods turned out, and how great the new steering is. I got away without putting in a drop pitman arm :shh:

I like it! Time will see how well it holds up on the street or off-road, but right now it looks good. You should take and post a few more shots from different angles, so we can check it out closer in the daylight. :D

...and you know? I'm almost thinking this would be an interesting and informative tutorial. You've been doing well with documenting your progress, so we should assemble all your updates onto a page, for others who might be considering something similar. I know the question on lifting a 2WD had come up numerous times.

I think the truck is pretty much exactly the same height as a highboy, because it has a 4" block in the back, just like the factory f250's. Soon im going to get rid of the block, and do a shackle flip. I want to run 35x12.50's, my buddy is going to give me his 4 old bf goodrich 35x12.50 tires, so I can check for rubbing issues, and all that other stuff.

here are some more pics
