OK....Did my front V code swap....went very smoothly. Picked up 3 inches bringing both fronts to 25.25". The drivers side previously sagged about 1.25" below the passenger side so in addition to the height it leveled out nicely.
Gonna attack the rears next week. Biggest ? still in my mind is with the stock block and the B Mod.....will the rake land properly or will I need to either add a piece of a leaf or get the 250/350 blocks. People having slightly different experience but mostly I see guys using the stock Ex blocks. Will see.
Typical modified B spring swap in rear, stock excursion block PLUS I added back in the excursion slapper spring with the bumper on the bottom of the stack. I did this not for function but because I knew I wanted a little more rake.
Final measurements
Front both sides 25.25
Rear both sides 27.25
Rake looks great…not too pronounced but noticeable. Looking forward to seeing with trailer load.
Ride and handling are extraordinarily better and different. Really thrilled with the result and the effort.
Still sitting on 16” wheels/31” tires. Doesn’t even look all that bad. Did land a pair of 2004 HD 18” wheels that I’ll add whenever it needs new rubber
This was after over a year of reading threads all over this forum….what an education. This ended up going perfectly because I had done it in my head 1,000 times after reading all these threads . Huge help here…great resource. Gonna cross post this in a few threads that helped!
