As far as your old parts go, you probably won't find a buyer, I tried selling mine, I ended up taking them to a scrap yard. Unless you have the COMPLETE from spindle with bearings and brakes, most people don't want just stock spindles unless they were going back to stop from lifted or lowered. PICS?

 

Well I got one with my phone a while ago
Can someone explain how to post pics to the actual reply thing instead of attachments?
I'll get more and better pics later with my brother's awesome camera

 

Thems some little tires lol. Truck is looking good! What brand is the tool box?

As for pictures... Sign up on photobucket, flickr, or any other hosting site. Then copy and paste the IMG code of the pics you want into your post.

 

Haha they're pretty tiny. The box is "Better Built"

Before

After (so far)

 

Got my tires installed
But i couldn't get 31s... or 30s.... 31s didn't fit at all. They rubbed on the lca while tryin to put em on and in the fender well thing
I got 235/75/r15s close enough to 30s and they don't rub at all
So I'm happy

I know how much we all love pics

And yes, that is a chihuahua standing on top of my toolbox Chico!
Anyways yeah the tires look awesome. It doesn't look as great and amazing in pictures but in person.. it's a completely different story lol
Now I want spacers and step bars (my girlfriend is really short )

 

I also want spacers, right now I have the same size tires on my truck, but I have spindles, moog coils, 3" shackles and air shocks to help raise my rear.

 

I felt like taking off my front lower valance because I really like how Billsduster's truck looks

So I did

That thing was a serious PITA to take off without completely destroying it. I only destroyed a couple of those annoying screw thingys but if I do ever put it back on I'll just use zipties

I'd like to get some sort of light bar up front. I'll post up an example later

 

Found a pic

In due time
I don't have the slightest idea how much something like this would cost

Right now I'm lookin for some spacers

I see you went an inch higher phoenix. Pretty coooool. Got any pics?

 

I want a locking differential
not a complete posi
just one that'll lock once it senses that both wheels need to be spun. I'm thinking I just find a working g80. Some guy around here is sellin a complete rear end out if a 4x4 blazer (with drum brakes) with the g80 for $150

 

I'd invest the money your going to spend on a G80 gov-bomb towards a true locker. Powertrax lock-rite or no-slip are good units. When your turning a corner and off the gas they open and allow different wheel speeds like an open diff. But when you need both tires to spin they will, every time. The g80 isn't going to take much abuse. It requires one tire to start spinning before it locks. That sudden engagement is what breaks them.

If your not looking for a true locker I'd look into a clutch style limit slip differential. Limited slip is going to cost more then a lunchbox locker in the long run if you can't set gears yourself.

 

I have the powertrax no-slip and it works great!

Here's pics of my truck. I need to get some better side pics. I also need to get some now that my rear has spacers.

 

Niiiice
Diggin the driving lights in the grill

Would 2" spacers all around be good or would that look weird? Or should I stick with 1.25" front and 2.5" rear? I can get either combination for the same price

Since you have lift spindles, probably the 1.25" up front and 2.5" rear would be good. Here's mine with 1.5" rear spacers and none up front.

And a better side shot.

 

You could get different rim with 8" wide rim with lowest backspacing to get the wider stance.

 

Yeah I was thinking of getting the soft 8's but spacers are easier (at least I think so) and I like my stock rims
like I said in my first post, I really like the American Racing Torq Thrust rims
But I'm pretty sure they're really expensive so I'll just save up for those later on
and they don't make those in 15" :/

 

go to www.summitracing.com and look up variety of rims that are 15x8 with 4" or less backspacing. You can save your money to get the set you want or you can go Long Travel to get wider stance.

Something in my suspension is very squeeky! I was hoping it would somewhat go away after a while of driving but no luck :/ it's been there since day one of the lift. Any idea what it could be? I'm thinking it's either my bushings or coils

Does it happen while it goes up and down, side to side or all time?


Also, refer to sticky for the lca caliper grind mod after spindle lift.

It squeeks all the time. Up and down, side to side

I got the guy who installed my spindles to grind those caliper stop things off

 

Does it squeak as soon you start driving even at slow speed?

Possibly rotor/pads relate.

 

yup. I can just stand by it, rock it side to side, up and down, and it squeaks

 

Ok, what you need to do is to have a friend or someone who can hear well to pinpoint the squeaking.

 

Aight will do! sometime this week

RANDOM NOTE:
my friend swapped a Ford 289 (bored 30 over) into his 87 Ranger! It's SICK!

He's runnin straight pipes and it is LOUD

But yeah I'll have somebody help me out with finding out where the annoying squeak of death is coming from. I've pretty much done it myself and it seems to be coming from like the top part of the coil? It sounds like rubber on rubber if ya know what I mean. Somethin like that

 

Alright so I showed my friend and he said it's my lower balljoints and that I just need to grease em up
Does that sound right to you?

 

I put WD40 on the lower balljoints and the squeaking is almost completely gone! Very minimal squeak is audible (damn big words)
So I guess I'll just have him help me grease em up soon

 

I got my spacers today!! Well only my rear ones I'll buy my front ones with my next paycheck (Wednesday) but the back of my truck actually looks like a truck now! No more sunken-in wheels! They're past the bed/fender by at least a good inch! (2.5" spacers btw)
1.5" for the front soon to come!
And yes, ONE DAY I will do the whole long travel thing for the front seeing as how I'm keeping this truck forever. Same with the V8 swap B)

 

We greased up my upper and lower balljoints and the squeak stopped for a while but it came back :/ got down there and it seems like it's coming from somewhere around the lower control arm or so another friend says
?!?! grrr

 

Just grease every zerk you see. There is a thread somewhere up here that has several pictures of where every fitting is. It cant hurt to have it all lubed up.
