First thing is no one makes 17" beauty rings. So that might be a problem. I looked in to 17's like you are talking, several years ago. You can get 17 steel smothiees all you want, the baby moon cap is the same as say a 15, but unless someone stepped up good luck w/the ring. I bought a set of 16...

I could have bought one , but its better for my schedule to just drop off a tank and pick up a new one, plug and play. Once I get the interior done , I'll make a tank cover to match , I think the one year rental agreement is just at this supply shop, but they are the only game in town. Normaly when...

The only reason I bought my unibody was to use it as a shop truck, which I do, and drive everyday.

Ok... tryng to undersatand. You cut the spring but it is not seated all the way onto the depest part of the pocket? Right? If so then yes it does need to seat corectly. Got pics? So I can be sure to understand for sure. I can tell you what you need to know being that I have delt lowered suspensions ...

Yes cut the roof of it will look great, the best thing you will have ever seen in your life!!!!!

I...mean....I.. really dont know how it will look.............. I just want your roof, and backglass. ':mrgreen:' ':mrgreen:' ':mrgreen:'

W/Out a doubt replace them w/a urethane one. Much better preformance, and will last alot longer.

I have to agree w/not undersanding why you would want to remove the mount? Just unbolting is the way to go on changing these bushings.

I will be at pate on Friday, dont happen to have a junk big back window truck do ya?

Hey guys. I've done several dropped beams over the years from rangers to F-350's. I know alot of people use the DJM "dream beams", but after we had one break in two I will NEVER recomend them to anyone. I like DJM for the most part, but I have no use for the "dream beams". The tu...

Yea I'm on the HAMB quite a bit, and I remember seeing a post of someone refrencing this sight once, and telling them about it, but it was directed to someone else.

As for the truck it was just an idea, and it worked out, but thanks for the comment on the truck!

As long as you dont change the leaves themselves it dosent matter on which side of the frame they are mounted, it will ride the same.

You can get a few details on the truck. If you want to know more let me know.

Hey, That truck looks ......... Oh yea that's mine!

Actually it's step notched. I could have c-notched it but I was going to have to cut the bed for the pumkin, and I figured if I were to lower it more later on I would already have a step in it.

Just cut it, you know you want to.

Besides, if you really want it low you will have to cut it at some point. You can always add a cover.

Greg D; Just going to comment about the 2 negatives on the above post. As for the twin I beam, and rotaing tires, as long as the alignment is good, and no worn out parts tires will last a long time. My 96 has been lowered for 3(?)yrs now and no accesive wear on the same tires. As for a v8, if you ca...

I dont know how many were made, but I've been looking for a junk one since I've had mine w/no luck. I just want the roof so I can do a swap on mine. I know were several junk uni's are but not a bbw in the bunch.

Greg D
I just don't like having to mount training wheels on my back bumper

What the hell is this back bumper thing you speak of ????

Glad to see that you have made some more progress. Just one thought, I would move the wheels foward 1". I move front, and rear foward 1" and it made a world of diffrence, as far as how the wheels look in the fenderwells. Just my opinion. Also just wanted to say:looks like you started w/a p...

Fordified1 How hard are our trucks to do a 2" chop? I've seen one with 3" and it's a little out of proportion for my taste. I dont like chops if you can tell they were chopped, it has to flow w/the lines of the truck. I was thinking along the lines of 2" as well. I like people going ...

Hey Greg D, I'm interested in seeing the swap done. I really dont think that it is that big of a deal, I think that once you got into it it, you might realize how easy it might be. Keep us updated on it, and if I can be of any assistence in the way of advise please let me know.

Hey, this is the guy that did the 92 crossmember swap on a 62. Heres what I think (if anyone cares). Trackwidth is perfect for these trucks as far as I'm conserned, so that will be fine. Shortning the frame is easy to do, that should not be a problem as long as you have the fab skills. Just take you...
