Crawler version uhh... UPDATED 3/30/13

[dizdak]

ya'll should look down this way when needing parts cases and adaptors, truckgonewild.com, they have a parts for sale forum and usualy, ford and chevy independant cases often.. even see some sami, and nissan ind. cases... i am running a turbo 400 an 208 case into a rockwell 223 ind case... i am gear beyond low with both in low range and having 6.72 gears in my axles!!

 

[Dieselcrawler]

not quite sure what you are trying to say. why do i want a heavy hugh rockwell223 in my truck?

 

[dizdak]

wasn't sayin you should run a 223, was saying when you guys are looking for parts and cases ya'll should look down this way if you have trouble finding parts... there are usually independant ford and chevy 205s for sale all over, and other tcase parts for bolt up cases and all too..

that is the chevy spring on top of the factory ford pack. you can see the difference in length. the center bolts were lined up for the pic.

i was able to use my neighbors shop since it was sorta needed to swap the springs.

think i need to change shocks around. fully compressed and fully extended. flat spring and nicely arched.

here you can see how far i had to move the front spring hanger.

Awesome, now we gotta get to rausch creek!

 

[riotwarrior]

Wow...that's sweet...I've thought of 63"rs but not sure I want to on my truck...maybe...

On a second note I do really like what you've done with the cross bace between the rear shackle reversal hangers...Nice!

EDIT...

How wide are those springs anyway? I'm kinda curious....

 

[6.9poweredscout]

would it improve ride quailty on a tow rig i wonder? my f250 rides pretty rough

 

[Dieselcrawler]

these are VERY SOFT! and they are only 2.5 inches wide.

 

[6.9poweredscout]

ahhh... gotcha.

 

[Dieselcrawler]

Plus they are so soft a traction bar or anti wrap bar is needed. I ordered my Heims and mounts for it yesterday, also ordered my ram and mounts for hydro assist .
