That is A W E S O M E!!! Where did you get your roof rack??

 

[86M10086.2L]

I got it online, I think the place was called discountramps.com I have temporary no drill support bars on it, but a THULE universal (drilling required) track mount system is in my future. The setup you see in the pics allows the rack to shift forward while wheeling (heavy bumps) rendering my cable limb risers, which already had been taken off for that reason somewhat useless.

Thanks dude!! I'm itching to get home so I can tinker with my toy. Then take it out and get it dirty.

1. How do you like the Tough Country 4" HD suspension lift?
2. Who made the hitch mounted tire carrier?

THANKS!

if it helps a friend has a 4" skyjacker kit in his now. pretty stiff but a complete kit. another friend has 4" hd Tough Country. rides way better. springs front. homemade shackle flip in the rear. Tough Country kits are extra for shocks and steering correction. they dont have a 1 ton kit. he got the 3/4 ton one and just replaced the u bolts for the bigger axles.

hope this helps


nice looking truck you have

Did you use wheels spacers?

The more information one has the better decisions he can potentially make. Thanks 84cucv1ton

here is the kit he got:

4" 73-87 Chevy Pickup 3/4 Ton Tuff Country EZ Lift Kit: eBay Motors (item 390248706724 end time Nov-04-10 08:05:01 PDT)

Does the 4" lift affect your drive line angles? Do you have any vibrations at highway speeds with this lift? Any adverse effects that you can tell after installing it?

 

[86M10086.2L]

No vibrations, yes on the wheelspacers. 2" in front 1.5" in back. I made the spare tire carrier myself. It's mostly 2" galvanized box tubing. It works ok, needs alittle tweeking but serves its purpose. I got my springs from ORD. Had to call to get them. Just a warning though, the bias ply hummer tires although great off road, suck (and I can't emphasize suck enough) on the highway. They literally are un-balanceable. at least mine are. I only use them when I go wheeling. I have a set of AT's for driving around. At some point I will replace the 36's with radials. Thanks for the comments on the truck. The truck's a driver and I use it. Looks good in pictures but up close it's ehhh. I always tell everyone she may not be the prettiest girl at the dance, but your still happy when you wake up next to her in the morning.
