why are you running 3.5 super duty leaf packs? why not 4.5? isn't your rear end gonna look retarded with gear and tools in the rear or when you tow something?

 

They sit taller...and running full 4.5 packs with stock shackles is retarted. Ill have an extended shackle

 

oh ok, i thought you were going to do extended as is, but that makes more sense

 

What do you do in the military of you don't mind me asking? Both my brothers are in the Army and I've be contemplating joining ever since 9th grade but the current political situation and my brothers advice has pushed me to go to college lol.

And Dave, I've got a front drive shaft in my shed. Needs to be rebuilt. Thinks its something to do with the ball joint or whatever in the cv portion.

 

I asked him the same thing, he is former military he works for a defense contractor making the big bucks now.

 

^thanks and EOD/Combat medic

 

Alright...went and got the rest of my materials for the 3 link. DOM is coming from Ruff Stuff, went to our local store and picked up my rect tube for the cross member and square tube for the lower arms..

STEEL STEEL STEEL GALORE:

 

Ours looks about the same, why did you choose 6* shims for the rear and where are you getting new center pins from?

 

Nice! Can't wait to see how this unfolds

 

Havent even ordered shims yet. Hell.. havent ordered leafs or coils yet.

Ive been talking with my bud who had the same 3 link setup a while back...think he went with 4* shims last time, a tad more would have been perfect.

As far as the center pins im not sure yet.

 

Oh ok lol yeah i was going to go with 4*'s but you made me question going with 6*'s. I know Serious has center pins but they're kinda a bit much

 

I didnt even think about center pins. ****.. my budget is going to be killed lol..

On a nice note... Just got approved for the loan on our new house.. Maybe 2013 will be my year! YES!

 

Sweet dude! Pins are like ~$7 and shims are like $30

 

Oh..i didnt even look.. 7 bucks a piece isnt bad.

 

I thought they were more lol I'll need whichever size for my ****ty AAL packs when i do my SYE and 6* shims.
