correct kris. i just cant get enough lift in the back, i might have to run my two blocks even, im thinking this plus the leafs, plus the shackles and stock block should give me my 13" if not i have a block that that is like a 1.5" welded to a stock on, yes i know that brings the gay, but im running out of stuff to do. besides getting 2000" banana leafs

 

instead of making the mounting plate square like you are, why not make it more retangular to drop it down from the frame so you wouldn't need the blocks. You would have to do the same for the front hanger, and then brace both under the frame to keep them from bending inward.

 

this coming from a guy that was proposing cut fenders and 44's on a stock truck

 

That was just for you. Fot him, since he wants the rediculous lift, I'd rather see drop hangers over lift blocks any day.

 

man that seems a little out dated to me, to go that high with leafs, but i'd probably do the same. i can barely count to 4, let alone triangulate link bars

 

it is an outdated solution, and a 4 link would be the best to get to where he wants to go. But since he is determined to get close to 13" of lift without big banana springs, there is no other solution other than big ugly blocks or drop hangers. Blocks can be done for the rear, but that doesn't help the front out, so that only leaves dropped hanger brackets.

 

this guy didn't need a 4-link to clear 44" trxs's, or what i like to call bfg at's bigger fatter cousin

don't let the man get you down dill, 4-links are for dragracers and sally's

Come on on now, whats wrong with your picture ? I've got 10" and stock shackle length with a Sky copy and a front hanger drop. You should only need a 3" block. The longer you make the shackles the more it will raise the pinion angle and at some point the pinion angle will become a problem.
IMO 13" is too much for what you want. I could be wrong but I think you are going to be backing yourself into a corner with drive shafts and steering linkage here. With yokes I've got over $800 in my back shaft and thats with just a 1 ton cv, no steep angle cv & I'd question if a one ton cv would go far enough for 13". A front shaft won't work without a steep angle cv.

 

Well here they are. ya karl i was going to drop the back hanger, but ive dropped the front as far as possible and with my long shackle, if i drop the rear hanger any it will rotate my leafs, like circular. i do like your idea of 4-linkin though i think im going to use this setup for a while since ive already dumped alot of time into it. I already have the front taken care. so this rear is all i have to worry about. Mark im going to cut of the perchs off and weld on new ones with my the pinion rotated up, that what i did with the front and im having that guy rotate the outer c's i mocked up my drive shaft and if i get a high angle cv for up front i should be plenty good.

 

does anyone else think they look crooked?


also...way to NOT listen to me newb
-pic emailed last night


this way you dont have to drill new holes in your frame and your shackle angle will be more ideal.

 

get yoir logica out the nwbthreads

i'm out of opana and killin a fifth of captain woo wooooooooooo

 

Paul, get your homo outta the nwbthread. :flipoff

 

kris the only reason i didnt listen to you is cause im thinkin ill be able to us two of the stock holes and move it up that far, if not i have a buddy that is like 350 lbs that ill just make drill my new holes haha

 

o ya i wanted to ask you think i should put some gussets on the back side of them. i think im good but i would rather be safe than sorry?

 

well here it is with the sky flip. i know the shackle is off but i am going to fix it tomorrow, but now i have my axle sitting dead center where it needs to be and prolly got 2" of lift out of this so we will see what happens. quick question does any one know on a stock 78-79 ford f150 what is the measurement is in the back and in the front so i know when this thing is sitting level? thanks
