  3. Moving back to Texas

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    So my time in the Marine Corps is coming to an end. I will be retiring soon and will be heading back to Texas on June 13th. I plan on moving to the Dallas / Fort Worth area after I find employment in that area. Until then I will be in a very small town north of Abilene, TX for a few weeks.

     

    When I get settled in the DFW area I look forward to meeting any gear heads in that area to help out with a little wrenching. I plan on doing a cam swap, adding some electric fans, and other small projects.

     

    So, who is in the DFW area in here?

     

    Thank you for your service

  13. Ride Height/Bump Stop Question

    in Suspension & Brakes

    Posted

    Ok, so I started my 4" hanger shackle kit install yesterday, but before I started unbolting things I decided to take some measurements. The right side of my truck seems to be about a quarter of an inch higher than the left (measurement taken from wheel well). That bothered me some, but what bothered me even more was when I measured the distance between the bump stops and the axle, I had 1/2" on the left and 1/4" on the right. I figure if anything, if the right side of my truck is higher, I would have more space between the bump stop and the axle on the right side??? I did get a hanger drop installed about 4.5 years ago, did they maybe mess something up? I have not been in any accidents, so I don't think anything is bent. What should I be looking for? Any thoughts???

     

    When I did my 4" rear drop, I took the rear bump stop brackets off and installed the bump stops right to the

    frame, I also went with the Belltech Urethane Drop Bumpstops Front #B4923 Rear #B4922.

  23. Pulleys

    in Bolt On Performance

    Posted · Edited by shakesvho (see edit history)

    you just need one more spacer(you have one on your setup= a total of 2 to upgrade to the 100mm), #69-90-57-001 from magna, I also have the 100mm and did not need any other added washers

     

    brad has the richard pulley setup (very nice setup) but I think the 2 washer will do the trick for you like it did for me, its just to pull the pulley out a bit like brad said

     

    later
