    Lowering on 31s

    Welcome from a fellow Phoenician...post some pics. Off the top of my head...2 inch front drop is all I think you can accomplish with such a tall tire. Out back possibly 4 inches. It's hard to say for sure. All you can do is start with 2 inches and try it out for clearance.

    Brake light problem

    My problem is not with the wire connector, its the actual clicking return to neutral mechanism. The mechanism is so worn that the turn signal will not return to the neutral position after completing any left turn

    4 link parallel bar

    Mounted inside or outside the frame the ride won't change. Any ride change will be due to different shocks, coil overs and spring rates. I went with airbags over springs for both height adjustment and ride quality. Although adjustable, spring assisted shocks have never been my friend when it...

    Wracks... That's a nice setup to start with for most peeps....then of course it snowballs from there and goes crazy (like in my situation).

    Fleetside bed floor

    Thanks everyone for the kudos...the bedliner was sprayed in by "Universal Bedliners of Mesa, Az". I met the owner at the sand sport super show a few years back in Scottsdale, Az. Hisguys did a fantastic job. Only problem I had was drainage, but I just drilled drain holes in the front corners...

    That is the problem with mine...bad turn signal switch. My switch is worn on the inside of the column....Ijust have been too busy to tear down the column. By the looks of business, next year is gonna be busier....uuugh.

    4 link parallel bar

    My four link on my 84 is on the outside of the frame and with the factory 10 bolt rear, I have about 1 inch between the link mounts and the inside of the u bolt plates. If your installing a narrower rear axle, you will probably have to install the four link on the inside of the frame.

    Well..not intentionally. He has a nice truck too. I think I see bags in the future for him and me fabbing his bridge and welding in his four link.

    4 link and coil overs...

    Not sure about the op...but I am there (the ground that is) lmao. As far as a static drop , my preference would be 3 front 5 back for driveability. I bagged mine for adjustability.

    WTB: Door Trim

    I looked all over for a replacement pair for my square when it was being rebuilt. I didn't have any luck with used. They all seem to break in the same way. Damn doors are actually built of steel, so it's no wonder the weak straps pull through. I ended up covering the strap with real aluminum...

    Fleetside bed floor

    I lined my bed with 14 gauge sheet steel...welded the seams and had it spray lined. The sheets of 14 gauge were $185 and the spray lining was $300. I did this for two reasons........all the donor bed floors were dented beyond any repair but the sides were good and i cut out the center section...

    Always a good idea to replace the ball joints and tierods since your gonna be tearing apart the front end anyways....... And of course a front end alignment.

    4 link and coil overs...

    Ummm...2" drop coils. Order a set and be sure to specify engine size and the amount of drop you want. I had 2 inch McGaughy coils in mine prior to bagging it this year.

    Should I cut more coil?

    Yikes.....If I were you, I would just buy drop coils at this point. The spring rate is better than cut oem coils imho.

    Lowering help

    3 inch front 5 inch back. Spindles (2inch) or a drop coil, or cut a coil off factory if on a tight budget. In the back, new hangers, drop shackle combo. If you go with a flip kit ...its closer to 6 inches if memory serves me correctly.

    Replacement Hood

    Oh yeah....East coast. ......rust is everywhere. Hell here in Az, we have to create rust. I just finished building a bench seat from an 85 squarebody tailgate and some other truck parts. I had to spray hydrogen pyroxide and salt to get the bare metal pieces to rust. If I waited for rain, it...

    Replacement Hood

    I purchased my front fenders from AMD. I purchased a hood from LMC...it lined up like crap...then I found out it was made in China (of course). LMC woke up the next Monday morning with a return package at their front doors along with a nasty message. You may also inquire with Tuckers, or...
