Took about 6 hours doing the back 3" leaf springs, and remounting the center support bearing. Some of that time was spent planning and thinking exactly how we were gonna get it done. We did have to drop the tank, but left it under the truck and just pushed it around on the jack to where we needed it to be out of our way.



New and old leafs. we were gonna put the overload back in, but it was rubbing weird on the clamps that go around the new leaf pack



Gas tank straps:

 

Then we got to cut the bracket and drill it

 

The drive shaft turned out perfect with us talking through it making sure we agreed on how it was gonna get measured out and everything involved with putting the new bracket in

 

ooops accidentally took a picture of stealth



Finished product:
there is still about 300+ pounds of tools and old parts in the bed.

 

We measured about 1/2" past level, or 1/2" backwards rake....

the springs will still settle a little, but it will come back up once he pulls the crapola out of his bed....

 

Looks great Def in the cards for when I get my 22's. How was the ride afterwords? Better or worse than stock? Any idea on total cost?

 

Did he get the rear shocks?

 

rear shocks should be there monday he said.

he's said no vibrations. he bought the parts used from anaheim so i dont know what they worked out, or what retail is on them

 

I pieced the drop together. Ground force 2" drop springs loaded in 1000 mile stock coilovers, Eiabach 3" drop leafs, GF rear shocks, McGaughy's CB relocation bracket, total price was around $500. Shocks go in Monday or Tuesday, depending on UPS. Of course I had to get an alignment and misc. stuff. Not too shabby all in all.

I measured after I got home and unloaded and the front measures 33 1/4" and the rear 33 3/4". Not too bad. I'm happy.

 

I blew it on the shipping

 

Looks good, Patman I see you brought that piece of wood with to help jack up the truck

 

It works on NBS f150's too.

 

Looks great!

 

Sweet!

 

didnt have to bring it anywhere, he came to me for the help
