Cool stuff. I always loved the look of a color matched smoothie bumper.
Have we discussed a color yet?:unibrow: |

I got get front end down some how.....
Attachment 30822 |
Any suggestions for gettin the front end down another 2 to 3 inches. I already have lower spindles and springs. I prefer not to bag it. Thks :D
|
On those trucks, the only way to do it is with spindles and springs. WHat drop springs do you have in there now? 2" or 3"? I think DJM makes dropped control arms. Other than that, the only other option is bagging it.
Question: What size tire are you running in the rear? Thats a 20" wheel, right? |
I have 2" drop springs on it now and I looked into the DJM control arms but was told they won't work with drop spindles...the rear tires are 20s. 305/50/20s on a 20&10. 255/45/18s on front on a 18&8. I was thinking about bagging it but have coilovers on back with 4 link.
|
I would think with a 2" spring up front, , with a 2" drop spindle, it should be lower. Whenever I lowered that body style 4" in the front, it seemed to sit lower.
You can always try a 3" spring. Bagging it is an option, and fairly simple with the cups. But then, you will have to get all the air management. Valves, compressors, tanks, etc... |
I wonder if u could use the DJM control arms with 3" springs. I don't want bag it cause I plan to drag race it alittle. I will have to try a few things and see if it changes anything. A 4" drop does seem like it would sit lower thou. Idk
|
How close are the arms to hitting the bump stops? Having the spindle would be better, for a better ride and stuff. If your willing, you can always cut those springs down some and see where it sits. Especially if you have some room before the control arm hits the bump stop.
Now you have me really wondering why your truck seems to sit high for a 4" drop. Either way, it is a very nice truck and the rear tires look sweet! :thumbsup: |

Finally working on truck again. I ordered a Wegner Motorsports front drive system awhile back and got it on. Got just about all fuel lines done except from pump to fuel cell. Got order a few more fittings.

Nice to see some other trucks. Looks like a great project. Keep us updated.
|
If you're still tryin to get the front end down you can do a coil over conversion in the front. You can get up to a 4" drop on a stock spindle. PM me if you wanna know more about it.

I got the front end down just took springs out and cut them off about a full round on spring. Now it sits like i want it. I will post pics when i get it back on the ground. Im gettin there on everything just takes time cause i do something then have to order parts. I got some of my Holley Dominator EFI stuff in too just waiting on ecu and trans harness.

Starting to lay out some of this wiring. Man this is a mess rite now but have to start somewhere. Attachment 34651 Attachment 34652 Attachment 34653 |
The wiring definitely looks intimidating. Keep at it. :thumbsup:
|
The wiring does look scary at first but Holley really doesnt put the plugs where i needed them so i had to tear it all apart and lay everything out where i need it. I ordered my main wire harness for the truck last week from Ron Francis. I am getting more wire loom from them so i can start rapping all of it back up. :D
