Because the front springs (and the front axle pins) are centered under the frame, while the rear suspension and rear axle pins are mounted outboard of the frame, with a third pin for the torque rod. When using front springs on a rear axle, the pins don't line up right. For this reason, I have...

No argument with any of that but I've read dozens of threads about bobbing and nobody else has mentioned the axle pins not being centered. Made me wonder if people were just bolting the springs on the flat part of the axle and hoping for the best.:driver:

Huh. Really?? Why does nobody (including XM381.com) mention this??

Ok, I don't know if my truck is different than everybody else's or I'm just being an idiot but I have a problem with my rear axle location and nothing I've searched for shows me that anybody else has had this issue. I used front deuce springs to bob my truck and used the center axle for the...

Fair enough!

Any reason (besides looks) that you didn't want to go singles with a hub flip in the rear? It would solve all your clearance issues (without the spacers, even), lose a lot of weight, increase your ground pressure (and traction) and not decrease your carrying capacity. Other than aesthetics...

Fyi, you can borrow a vacuum pump and gauge set from Autozone for free with their loan-a-tool program. Might save you a little money.

Did you consider running the two fans in series with 24V to save capacity on the equalizer?

Yep, your post and video is why I started looking for a place near me. :-)

The name of the place is Promax. Don't have the number off hand but Google knows it.

For anybody in the east Texas area, there's a place in Longview that tests injectors for free and will rebuild them for $20-25. I'll be taking all six of my injectors in from the two trucks I currently have plus the spares I got with a truck I bought a while back. When I drove from MI to TX...

That's a helluva transformation!

I'll try to meet y'all at Rudy's. I don't get up early enough on weekends to make it to the Rim.

I would go after the rest of it but it's not my tree. And besides that, good trees are few and far between out here so it would be a shame to kill one just for spite. I will definitely enjoy the pieces of it that I have, though.

The aftermath...

It will be burned this winter after it has seasoned. For now, my landlord's goat herd will be picking it over to get all the green bits.

Indeed it does...

I screwed up my truck last night but I'm still going to try to make it. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?123807-Stupid-Tree-Reached-Down-And-Bit-My-Deuce

The truck bit back but now I have hours and hours of metal work to get everything straight again. :mad: Having the extra space inside the back with the custom uprights and bows was nice but now the drawbacks have become apparent. The worst part is that I drove under the exact same tree 12...
