[FlatBroke]

At those prices, even I could afford one.....

Lookin good, nice proportions but needs chopped. But then I think everything needs chopped.lol

 

[Banjoman]

[bryan103]

Chop gonna be last,kinda scared to start cutting,want to do 4''

 

[Old Gold]

It looks like like you have the skills to pull off the chop without a problem. Plenty off help and pictures here to get ya through it.

Is there enough rubber in the spring eye,to avoid a bind ?
The spring and 'bones will be traveling in different arcs.
----
Looks pretty good,except the tie rod location.
Why not put it on back where it belongs ?


Bend the steering arms,so it runs just above the 'bones.

It would look better,and work better in corners.
Ackerman is your friend.

 

[bryan103]

I believe so,do u have any ideas of change,never really thought about arm,will see if it will work other way,any suggestions good or bad

Like your truck. Go for the chop. I just did mine same type of cab. I was reluctant to do it but it as a lot easier than I thought. Just plan your cuts and go for it.

Here's mine with a 4" chop. They look very similar.

 

[bryan103]

Can you guys give some ideas on how to improve the front end.

 

[bob w]

bryan103, I think you will need a shackle on your front springs because the radius rod and spring are different lengths.

You could probably adapt the factory
shackles and brackets that were on the frame.
