Sorry for not getting back to you all sooner, but been away from the site for a long time. As for lift and 53"s So far no rubbing anywhere, but I haven't had it back to any place like Haspin, that would really test it. I have had it off road, and in some pretty good places, and everything...

The steering arm

You know me too well! Thanks again for everything Paul. This picture shows how when the plasma tip is worn out how quickly one can mess up a cut. No warning is given, you find out when the cut is 2-4 times as wide as the rest of the cut.

A few more pictures. One is the view from the drivers seat of my Chevy looking in to the front bumper of my Deuce.

The Silverado in the pictures is my 2002 2500HD Duramax Diesel 4x4 pickup with 2" lift and 35" tires. I took advantage of having an big commercial air compressor and used 1/2" and 1" impacts, as well as air jacks. The two extra HEMTT wheels came in handy as blocks for the 6 and 12 ton jack...

I made two trips to Michigan to visit Paul (AKA ridgerunner) 1st was to pick up the lift and bolt in adapter plates (Got those from Mike AKA tm america) very nice work from him. They are made from 1/2" steel. I was not expecting to buy 53" tires on my 1st trip so the bed cover was on the truck...

This lift is drop brackets, not lift blocks. I do not recommend blocks at all. And for on road use they are not legal on the front as far as I know. And not at all safe. Many use blocks on the back of trucks, Ford did for many, many years, and may still do so, not sure. As for the broken arm...

Most days I forgot all about documenting this job with pictures. Sorry everyone. I cut a piece of rain gutter to use as a bolt pattern jig, it worked great. When doing the front rivets, I reattached the springs with the bolts so I could continue driving the deuce. Drill bit were very expensive...

My Plasma cutter is an Lincoln Pro Cut 55, and easily cut through on layer of the HEMTT wheels, but had nothing to do with both layers. So each wheel had to be broken down and cut, 4 wheels equal 8 circles to be cut. I went through about $30 worth of cutter tip parts. Overall I am happy with the...

Huge pain! (To the tune of a broken arm, and many, too many cuts scrapes and bruises.) I have not been on here in a while, between work vacation, travels, normal home owners upkeep and lifting a boobed deuce, and modifying hemtt wheels, I have been a little busy. The tires mounted on modified...
