    Lift Kit HEADS UP !!!!!

    New springs are allredy on the way. Im not gonna sweat it, I have plenty of other trucks that would love them! I in no way wanted to bash NTW in any way, Just wanted to make shure others didnt run into this.

    Springs vs. Blocks

    Not gonna argue this any more. To each there own. They all have there advantages and disadvantages. OP, I hope the thread helped you on your decision which ever it may be. Every truck is different. Your choices are what make it unique and best suited to you. Biuld on and enjoy.

    Looking for the specific difference between "Split Rings" and "Split Rims/Widowmaker"

    If you have ever tryed to dismount a deuce tire i think you will see there not gonna just "pop off". Just remeber everything needs to be clean when installing and use a cage, or other sutable restraint for it when seating the bead.

    Springs vs. Blocks

    Sorry to say but those blocks are NOT welded to the axle. Just did a 2000 stroker yesterday with factory blocks.

    Springs vs. Blocks

    Distance from spring eye to frame is greatly increased therefore the clamping load of the fasteners is stressed more do to the leverage increase when there is a sideways load I.e. turns. Think about a lugnut, 3in wrench vs 3 foot wrench, which one requires less effort to break the bolt loose?

    Springs vs. Blocks

    Look at it. I will explain more when I am not typing from a phone. You guys bash blocks like there the devil...... you do realize that MANY factory trucks come with them right? I'm not saying that there the best thing but if installed correct you are not going to "spit" them.

    Lots of added stress on the rear frame rails by doing the flip though. Not as stable as well.........2cents

    Has anyone thought about converting to an electric air pump?

    I would not think the allredy inadequate generator would care for this, also anytime energy is transformed some is lost. 2cents

    Lift Kit HEADS UP !!!!!

    Just to help prevent this from happening to anyone else ! I ordered a 6in lift system (4 springs, 4 shocks) from NTW a while back for use on a 1028. Finally got around to using it and after installing it i thought something looked a little off. The front sat about 1in lower than the rear. Did...
