6" Lift

[walkerkd]

quick questions with the 6" lift do i just have my drive line extended or am i going to need to drop the transfer case? or notch out the bash guard? also what is everyone using for shocks on the 6" lift?

More than likely, you will have to have the front driveshaft lengthened. Check your angles, might have to do a little massaging of the yokes and crossmember...maybe not. Best is to jack the truck up by the frame and let the front axle hang, make sure everything turns bind free and go from there...

Front shaft will need addressed.

Rear, I don't know because you have the carrier bearing.... the std. cabs don't with a 6"

Don't drop the case or anything like that....

Skyjacker has "scratch and dent" section for their shocks.... good pricing. It's on their website

yea im gonna have to space out the crossmember about a inch or 2 angle is just not there. i will do the scratch and dent. that sounds alot better than buying newer. im debating on running the h1 wheels now im not sure i like the look what you guys think? i havent installed the rear those buggers are heavy as hell...





maybe do dually wheels and 35" tires or maybe some 18 or 20 with 35s

Keep it a dually!!

Looks bad ass... looks to be sitting more level in these pics... maybe it's just the pics?

[walkerkd]

Yea im still debating on keeping it Dually i think it looks mean but maybe some better dually wheels and 35" tires will help but the H1 wheels make it look sick! yea its a bit more level but i have not put the 37s in the rear yet. so maybe mount them look at it with out my dually fenders and then go from there. im ordering shocks today and just gotta get longer brake lines and im done till i figure out what to do with the dang crossmemeber.

Got my shocks today skyjacker m95 will get them mounted tomorrow and I hope they are as good as the bilstiens 5100s I was gonna order anyway I will report back to how they are later

How dose it ride with that tall of spring?

[walkerkd]

you ever been on a hay ride on a dirt road? haa haa.. im working on that part now. ive gonna try differnt tires and air pressure soften it up the shocks are amazing but i wanna take some of the bounce out. damn Pizza cutters suck!

I've been running 6" Alcans on my 92 for about 6 years. It rides better than my 01 ever has. Which front yoke do you have? I've only had one 1st gen that had the 1410 yoke, but maybe you lucked out and have it. It handle the steeper angle a lot better. If you are going to have a new front shaft made, get a 1410 yoke. As far as the brake line, I just unbolted the bracket on the crossmember and lowered it down some. You should be fine with the rear driveshaft. Ive run drop pitman arms on a few trucks, but they never drove as good as I wanted. I went with crossover steering on my 92. I like the way it drives, but there were some bug to work out of that setup too. You'll lose your sway bar but the added body roll might not be as big of a deal since yours is a dually. I made a track bar for mine to fix the side to side flex in the springs from the draglink now putting side load on the axle. Your truck is looking pretty cool.
