fisch Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Nice! I almost went slime green on my 521 wheels, but orange won in the end! Quote Link to comment
SRSANDS Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I have one spring then the flat one on my 521 and all though its low and looks good it sucks badly. When You get one the gas...shift or decelerate the ass end wobbles back and forth. I got a set of 720 leafs I'm gonna put in and find a bigger block. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I only suggest a 3inch 2 deg belltech block. Otherwise you indouce proplems as mention above. mainly axle wrap. trans and carrier bearing issues Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 My old 521 sat like yours. 3 inch block & only running the main & overload spring with removed bump stops. Youll want to C notch the frame soon or get used to the axle hitting the frame :cool: Believe me i love the look & i miss my 521... Quote Link to comment
BlondesN521s Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'm about to start my own 521 project... I really like the bright green. sorry if i missed it somewhere, but are you going to paint the truck green? I'm really looking forward to seeing that :) I was thinking of painting mine bright blue or maybe green... but going to go for black n yellow for now :) A friend has yellow wheels and we are going to primer it black, i'll be sure to post pics on my thread!
