    blue. Seats don't match though. Front is cloth with vinyl trim and the rear is all cloth. Doors are going on my 90 but the rest is up for grabbs before I strip it and scrap it.

    SD springs are 2" longer, that doesnt give you issues in shackle travel?

    Shackle Reversal Kit on 1988 F350

    ive got a parts 97 cc 4x4 psd in my back yard. also got someone heading down later this year from portland. if he makes it down here before you get a pair, you can have these and just pick them up from him when he gets back home.

    you can always find any 83-97 f250-f350 from the wrecking yard and unbolt the factory ones. and let us know what you find out for rear springs. im looking to ditch my blocks as well, i hate having them. i have ladder bars on the rear but still wanna get rid of the block.

    Shackle Reversal Kit on 1988 F350

    i dont wanna run just a cap replacing piece. id rather get a knuckle cast for the added stress of a crossover. so, whats your fear of my draglink? the fact that its twice as strong as the factory one? the fact that its got the same top bend as the factory, just has a bottom bend to ease the...

    Shackle Reversal Kit on 1988 F350

    you cant compare my z bar to any of those. ive got a 9" drop that is stronger steel then the frame of the truck, weld in bungs that are built for the tube i used. not to mention the hydraulic assist takes most of the grunt. high steer wouldnt work for me because my lower rod end is connected to...

    Shackle Reversal Kit on 1988 F350

    thanks man. ya, it started 4" lift with 35's but it was too much lift for the tire, so i went 37's. was perfect until i needed new tires. they cost a fortune and i got a good deal on a set of 42's. one took a crap, replacement was 454 and it handled like crap when hauling so i went 46's and...

    its a shame that nobody here posts pictures of projects as they are being done. at least im guessing that nobody does because your all expecting every picture to be a completed project.

    Shackle Reversal Kit on 1988 F350

    its not really for lift, its for pinion and knuckle angle. after the lift its coming off, the angle that the 4" spring put on it was junk. it was a fix until the front kit was built. the axle is set to the exact measurements given for the sky kit. only change made was my own spring perch...

    Shackle Reversal Kit on 1988 F350

    the pictures are of my truck as it was being done. im no where near done yet. still boxing the perch as stated, also running a cross brace from one side to the other like skys kit. the rear shackle angle is exactly as it went on from sky before i pushed the axle back. they are under construction...

    Shackle Reversal Kit on 1988 F350

    ok, buying skys kit is cool, price is tons better then any other kit out there BUT you have to do a little work. you have to trim the inside plate of the front shackle and plate your frame to box it in. now, if you have a torch, drill press and a little know how then making your own kit is easy...

    How to use a PSD Downpipe on your IDI factory turbo

    ?downpipe solution ats?

    how do you plan to clamp it? if it were me, i would think about drilling holes in 4 places and tap the holes. tighten in bolts on each hole to clamp the pipe evenly basically like what your ceiling fan glass would have.

    How to use a PSD Downpipe on your IDI factory turbo

    garrett makes the turbo that ats had them design. ats just made everything else and designed the kit. almost any kit you are going to find for any engine is going to be made by garrett.

    ?downpipe solution ats?

    a dp is no big deal since the obs psd already is set up for that type of flange, the issue is the 5 bolts that hold it to the turbo are specifically designed for ats. no standard 5 bolt flange will work on it without having to modify/add metal to it.
