Very sharp lookin' MacTruck. I too would like to hear about the front "lift" . Were you able to handle the install or farm it out? I remember you having some questions about it a while back. Jim G

I put the lift and Track Bar in myself. It took a few days but it wasn't that bad to do. My biggest problem with putting the lift in is that I have no garage and when I started it rained for a week straight.



I have to say (like everyone else that has put this lift in) It rides like a dream! not as bouncy & very stable at high speeds (tested to 100 mph) No Vibration.



I also used the counteract balancing beads in the wheels(6 oz) There has been a lengthy discussion here on the boards about it. Well from a stop to 100 mph there has been no vibration. That made me real happy.



Whitmore The SJ D25 lift on the Cummins trucks levels it pretty good. I think it is just a hair higher in the front end right now. But the springs should settle a little bit. and be even. I'll keep you updated. I am planning on getting new rear springs from National spring. Not sure when though.



Thanks for the compliments.

Sorry Matt, Thats not a CB Antenna.

Thats for my Lowband radio for the Fire Dept. (46 mhz)



Someone on the tdr made "Lieutenant" :-laf



Going to have to put those other antennas towards the back of the cab.

Looks VERY NICE Kevin!!



Did you get DT's 1/2" Forward upper & lower links? These will push the axle forward where it was before the leveling springs sucked it back towards the rear. I'm getting a set.

Are you saying that's what financed the new look, or that's why you're now stuck with the responsibility of having to keep a work radio in your personal ride?

 

[BIGDIG]

No I didn't. I replaced the lower control arm with a SkyJacker Control arm. It's supposed to push it forward a little. IMHO It didn't do a good job (pushing it forward that is)

When my Bank account recovers I may purchase a set to try to push the axle more forward.



I do not have any problem with rubbing however. It just looks a little Too close for comfort.



mgonske The lieutenent status didn't increase my pay (I'm a Volunteer Fireman ) Let's just say that Uncle Sam was very forgiving concerning my taxes.



John, Coming from you that is surely a compliment. (You still have the baddest ride in the land)
