We're flying this time around. We've driven it when it was in St. Pete though.

Got your PM, definitely look you up if we get out there again!

 

ok sounds great man, just let me know. Maybe the truck will have the new paint job, and cummins by the time you get back over here.

ive got plans man...

 

Can't wait to see some more pics.

 

Rancho....its changed alot since youve been there lol....washout is sugar sand, there isnt any bodies of water, unless it rains before you head to rancho it will be nice and wet right now theres a few spots were you can mud like mini mud pits but rancho has no deep holes like before.....ill put it this way on sunday there was a harley at the main hole lol ....but ts still alot of fun

 

trim, I will look for some leaf springs, I am sure I can find em, but shipping from here to you would be crazy. I would guess almost $100 just to ship. I guess I will ask around and see whats up. Other then that, what's left ? You figure out the t-case ? Driveshafts ? gearing ? etc ?

 

well i got a qoute for leaf springs at 550 includes shipping.

the t-cases are waiting till i get the NP205 and NP203 then ill rebuild them and mount them together and then take out the 4406 and run the 203/205 but that will be a few months down the road.

for now im gonna be a big 2wd. but that no biggie.

 

Ordered the rear leaf springs yesterday. Should be here early next week.

Ordered from Competition Leaf Spring

specs: 56" eye to eye 2.5" wide 12" lift should bolt right into the stock location.

 

hey trim whats that transmission website that you posted on here, i need a new torque converter and a transmission to handle more horsepower, i have a suprise coming from my dad on my birthday lol

 

monster transmission, i havent heard much from them but i think Darrin would be a better choice. Talk to klitch he has Darrins info. Thats probably who im going with.

anyword on the 9th you think you can go?

 

are you planning to do any frame reinforcements running that heavy of a leaf spring?

 

nope, not really worried about the leaf springs weight, im actually worried about their strength, they are 3/4 ton leaf springs.

The frame wont get anything done to it till the t-cases go in and then it will get some more BEEF before the 4bt goes in.

 

how much did the springs set you back, Trimble? if you don't mind me asking...

 

they were $550 shipped not bad at all really. Seeing how shipping was $150.

 

Thats why i was asking because my buddy has a 98 Z71 1500 that he's eventually doing 1ton axles under it, and he's already got 3/4 leafs on the truck. When he attempts even a steep driveway flex, the shackle horns bend and twist like crazy, and now his frame squeeks when he flexes.

Carry on tho, its just a weak chevy frame. But really remember you are using a 10 year old frame so keep that in mind.

 

the 9th is a saturday correct lol, i can get it off are you talking about going out to rancho??? and who all is going ill be down to go ill try an get a few ppl together that i know
