Here's my truck. Bought it in February 2006 and I've been having a blast breaking stuff ever since. :-laf This winter it gets a Borgeson shaft and a PSC Gear Box. Still looking for a Driver side Door and DS front Fender. It tried to mount a chevy.

Here are photos of my two Rams... my 1985 D350 crew and my 1993 D350 Cummins rig. Hopefully in the near future they will finally be one vehicle.

The 93 has 235K, with the A518. I want to swap to manual... probably will stay with the G360. The 85 is currently 360-powered, just under 200K. This one was my Dad's before he gave it to me in 2005. Very clean... he bought it in 1995 in Oregon. A rancher there had owned it since new.

thanks! You probably did see it in Chandler... My parents moved from Oregon to Chandler, AZ in 2000 with it. My dad drove it daily from 1995-2004. I moved it to North Dakota in 2005... now I moved to AZ in 2008... truck is sitting at my buddy's farm in ND right now waiting for me to go back up and grab it.

Robert, your crew is gorgeous... very inspiring. I am looking to do much the same thing, although I will likely stay 2WD.

 

[RSchwarzli]

JErickson - Thanks! I will never need to off road it, however I did want to have the lower range for when I tow the 50' car trailer. Never know when I will need to use a lower gear!

OK,

here's both, the rain just washed them off.

The framed canvas thing in the back of the white truck is for my dog "Buck". He doesn't like the sun much

They're both very nice. Are they leveled? The front ends look lifted.

Thanks! Yes,

they both have 2. 5 lift skyjacker soft rides on the front... The white one has firestone"AiRide" bags on the front and back Axles that are individually regulated from the on board air system. rides REALLY good for a first gen. .

 

[Firstgenfanantic]

they both have 2. 5 lift skyjacker soft rides on the front.....

I have been debating whether to just buy the Skyjacker Soft Rides or just re-arch my factory springs. Any suggestions? What kind of improvement did you see after installing them?

 

[Flexiheep]

I just installed the Skyjacker front springs a month ago (have almost 5000 miles now) and can say that they are really nice. If my dad was still around and rode in the truck now he really would be kicking himself for not having installed them the day he bought the truck in 93.



If you read more about them you will find the bushing and bolt issue they have on the 92-93 trucks, I fixed mine by welding the holes in the frame mount up and drilling new 1/2" ones to match the bushings they come with. Others have had spring shops re-roll the spring eye to use the larger bushing on the 92/93 trucks.



If you are thinking of spending $ re-arching your stock springs, don't, just get the Skyjacker ones. I can't say how happy I am with them with out feeling like an infomercial guy... ...



Oh yah this is a show your ride thread... .
