Update. Rear suspension. So yea, after picking up the 64" stock rear springs from an 88 chevy 2wd truck and mocked them up, the shop relocated the stock rear front spring hanger down 2" and forward at an angle as close as he could get to the body mount. Taking the middle bolt hole on the hanger and lining it up with the bottom frame hanger hole and tilted it forward. He is going to weild it up.

Here you will see the Diy4x shackle flip mounted further back on the frame with the front hanger bolt holes lined up to the stock rear frame holes.To get it to fit flush on the frame, the shop grinded down the "Hump" on the frame.

Here's what it looks like standing back. The front spring had to be taken off and re-Arched 4".

 

[2INSANE]

Shop got the front springs back from getting re arched. Put the front back together and did a flex test.

Here's the rear flex, drop and articulation.

 

[2INSANE]

Here's the front flex test. You will see better drop and articulation on the front due to no over load and the leafs are closer together. I am very pleased with everything so far. More progress coming soon

All I can say is WOW! Must be nice to have that kind of $$$$$$$$$$$ to be able to do something like that. Mine will stay relatively stock but with A/C and alot of other stuff listed on my build.

I'm not rich. It's been sitting in the shop for over a year. One upgrade at a time Saving and spending.

So far I have no future plans. It depends on how well she performs on the trails. Maybe an Atlas down the road but buy that time it would be truggy time, you know what I mean! Lol!

It looks great. I have a couple sets of 56" 1 ton springs I am think about using on my 1009. I am curious to see how your ride turns out. Off to a great start.

Thanks!! 56" all the way man!!

Has any one made a pair of zero rates out of the big overload spring on the bottom of the rear springs? I know on the pair that I have apart now that spring is about 7/8" thick. Does anyone other than ORD make a part like their zero rate?

 

[Cucvnut]

Diy4x does.

 

[TXM1009]

Diy4x does.

Are they called something different. I don't see them on their sight. Thanks.

 

[2INSANE]

Funny... The shop told me today that when they did the flex test, that's as high as the forklift could go and there's a lot more flex in her. I need a ramp test! Lol!!!
