New to the Deuce

You can't use blocks in the front. To lift the front will either require fab work and or re-arched springs. If you're going to modify the bob job anyway I'd just start from scratch with a stock truck or buy one that's already fixed up like you want it.

If it has 4" blocks in the rear, your going to have to go to 8" blocks. I personally would not ride in a truck that had 8" lift blocks in the rear. To do it better (not the best but Im not a suspension fabrication expert either) it should have the spring hangers from the front of another deuce under the frame, and then you could get away with 4" lift blocks. For the front you need to completely rebuild the front spring hangers. Theres a thread on here somewhere where another member built his. If I can find it I'll link it here.

Edit: found it. for the fronts read about what this guy did. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/50778-lifting-bobbed-deuce.html

bobbedcrusher,

That's a nice looking truck! I only object to the "buy it now" price, which seems $2-3k too large for me.......

My recommendation is to cool out, surf this forum, keep looking and find a similar truck that is bobbed with huge tires for a few G's less. It can be done if you are patient.

Yes bobbedcrusher, i agree with Rick! having patients is the key, being in the right place at the right time can bring much happiness! the alternative can be dispair.

EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT FINDING CHEAPER DEUCES. I GOT AND OLD ONE AND BEEN WANTING TO TRADE IT OR SELL IT TO UPGRADE. WIFE THINKS I NEED SOMETHING SMALLER CAUSE OF MY INJURY FROM WHAT HAPPENED IN THE SEVICE. LIKE THE BOBED TRUCK BUT I STILL THINK FULL SIZE ORIGINAL IS THE WAY TO GO WITH A WINCH. GOOD TRUCK, POSTED THERE. I SAY BUY WHAT YOU WANT BUT CHECK YOUR RESOURCES FIRST.

If the problem with your injury has to do with steering the truck el manual, get an air-o-matic steering kit installed.

I DONT KNOW WHAT AN AIR O MATIC STEERING KIT IS. WIFE WANTS ME TO SELL IT ANYWAYS CAUSE SHE THINKS THAT I MIGHT PSYCOLOGICLY WOULD HURT SOME ONE. I THINK SHE IS JELOUS CAUSE I FINALLY GOT A BIGGER TRUCK THAN HER. HOOORAH
