I'm interested in bobbing a 5 ton. I have seen pics on Dave's Eastern Surplus website, but not many others. Has anyone here bobbed a 5 ton or have some pics to share?

There is a member here who got one not too long ago, I had bid on his truck, but he wanted it more than me. 
I'm sure he'll be along soon.

Yeah, yeah, that is the one I remember. Did you go with deuce springs in the rear? Are the tires 14R20s or 16R20s? How does it ride and what kind of road speed are you getting?

I need to go through the brakes on it, it runs fair but dosn't stop. It has 16R20's on it, the ride isn't bad the tires float over alot of smaller bumps etc.
I just have the pics of the truck when I got it off ebay, If you need some close up's or have any ?? let me know and I'll answer them the best I can.

Also when they cut the frame to shorten it they just chopped the wiring and cut the air lines so there are a few things that I have left to do.

What's the length of an 818 back end? Assuming you leave the spare tire and tool box on. Drop the interaxle and hang some new springs.
