red76datsun Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 and yes. my baby fits in the bed easy. hardly any flex so with 2in blocks that i ordered i think im good Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Oh so you didnt put the blocks in. I was going to say that the truck should be a lot lower... Progress so far is looking great! Quote Link to comment
red76datsun Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 nope. ordered my blocks a couple hours ago. 2in angled. should be here soon. pretty happy with the leafs so far though Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 These are a waste of time, they will not work, they have to be in the middle, directly above the axle. It will still hit metal to metal this way, perhaps you can put a pedestal on top of the axle and bolt them to it. Quote Link to comment

Farmer Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Add a metal plate across, then put one rubber stop sbove axle Quote Link to comment
red76datsun Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Ya ill figure something out. They were really cheap anyway. Ill probably end up cutting my bumpstops. Figured I'd try these sice they are cheap but didn't know they were tiny Quote Link to comment
red76datsun Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 alright guys, been a while but shes lower :rofl: I got KYB gas adjust shokcs up front. they were pinto shocks. cut them and drilled and they fit like a glove. just for fun i painted my glovebox door. far from perfect and bugs some people and me at times but i can deal with it. got a spare door anyway i decided on 2in blocks with my 720 leafs and still undecided if i want 3in or not. i have the room for sure though. cranked the front down. heres a before and after. not slammed but i can dig it. fronts gotta come down more spotted this 620 the other day :thumbup: and last pic is from the a&w meet today. decent turn out :thumbup: Rims will be getting done next weekend :thumbup: just ordered a water pump and new spark plug wires too :rofl: 2 Quote Link to comment

JoeCool Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Good looking truck and great progress so far. So far as the grille emblem goes, unless its broken I wouldn't waste money on another one. Paint it. That's what I did to mine. Did it by hand. Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Truck is looking sweet Dom. Keep up the good work. Let me know when & if u want to do your exhaust. I got a guy in Bremerton that is half the price of Kitsap & does better work. Quote Link to comment
red76datsun Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks guys! And ya ill need to get my exhaust done soon. Maybe when my rims sell ill message you about it Doug. Quote Link to comment
red76datsun Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 some progress happend lately. lowered the front more. no more cholo. got a bit of rake now but it doesnt bother me. still have some bumpstops left but im about 1/8th of a inch from them so its a little stiff. had a water pump leak so got a new pump, oil, spark plug wires, and speaker boxes. shes gonna be running with a tune up soon :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
plumb420 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Needs more low! Haha looks great though. You need to get your stock rims and white walls on! Quote Link to comment

red76datsun Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 very awesome! I can't wait to see them on. You still gonna go 3 inch blocks instead your 2's? Not really sure yet. Since I lowered the front more I really like it. Maybe still not decided. Hopefully getting a weber here in may Quote Link to comment
plumb420 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Not really sure yet. Since I lowered the front more I really like it. Maybe still not decided. Hopefully getting a weber here in may For sure have you takin it for a cruise yet? How's the ride if so? If that weber falls through I have mine up for grabs only problem is the chokes broken :/ Quote Link to comment

If that weber falls through I have mine up for grabs only problem is the chokes broken :/ The ride isn't all to bad. The 720 springs are a little stiff but not near as bad as I thought they would be. Since I replaced the front shocks it rides like heaven though. Those kyb shocks made a ton of difference Quote Link to comment
