]2eDeYe Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Get the weight on the truck first then figure out the spring packs. You may end up playing with them a few times after driving and wheeling the truck anyways. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Don't forget to anchor that upper hole on the steering box :) And plate that opening at the body mount, that leaf spring mount will see a lot of twisting. 1 Quote Link to comment

ratsun73 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 it was a pain to get those tires to bead up, i had to use 2 ratchet straps to get them to seat, fortunately we had a tire machine which made getting them off and on easier. The next step is a fuel pump and oil pressure sender so i can start it... 2 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yeah, those boggers are stiff, hard to seat the bead is hard to debead! 2 Quote Link to comment
ratsun73 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 so i might have a lead to a dana 44 out of an isuzu with disk bakes. is this a good idea or should i just go to a toyota? 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Depends on what you want to do with wheels. Yota you get to keep the six lug, the Dana is probably a little stronger. 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 That Izuzu axle is a good candidate. Just so you know, those tires are pushing it on Dana 44s :devil: 1 Quote Link to comment
