A slammed 5 ton. I wanna b first. Hahaha

You have seen the picture of my minds eye, bags and all ! ! Still wanna do the IFS set-up tho. Independent rears too if I sell enough "bio".

Yeah Jeff, I was meaning like Bilstein off-road stuff. $$$$ but INFINITELY adjustable.

Soooo, anybody ever double shock the front ? Or add nitro off road jobbies ? Better ? On topic ? Sorry, bwana

X-ray, affirmative, but I'm sticking with round rubbers. Don't wanna spook the girls in Cabo. Ees an eeenvaseeeown !

Go BIG or go to MX, I'm doin both. Imagine pontoon boat on 395's

red, mebbe ya didn't catch it. My front porch is gonna be about 40" from back of bumper to grille ( enough to set up a lawn chair and still reach my beer tap hood ornament. Figure I'll make a super duty spare tire lift like the back of SUVs and pick ups. Obvi, with some extra support when in...

Jericho, IF I pull it off I'll dedicate it to ya.The Jericho mod.:driver:[thumbzup]

IF I hadda truck . . We'd be PMing.

Red, ya done it again. Was gonna mount spare on back of box, but now it's goin UNDER the "front porch". An M820 with "air bag", whooooda think ?

Definitely winner for least expensive ride improver. I don't ever plan to sell mine. They'll find it, and me in it during some archeological dig Eons from now. It'll change their history. Who knew Jackazzes drove trucks in the 21st Century ?

Hahahaha, yeah, half of my truck cost less. It'd be sweeeeeeeet tho.right ?

You no yanky my cranky ? I am seriously considering this. I figure a nice under-over gear case, with the gears in the T-case made to "align" the ratios of the diff. and portal ends of the front with the ratio in the rear pumpkins.

It's been a few days, so I am back in here with an idea. Replace the ENTIRE front suspension of an M820 with an Oshkosh or Meritor independent front suspension module. The only engineering I haven't nailed down is whether the front prop shaft will line up or if some kind of "transfer case"...

As have I friend. I ran a call with part of leaf stuck in a man's neck. It IS deadly serious. Just how I deal. No belittlement from me, EVER.

Quickfarms, I have a bunch o' red tagged stuff too. Whenever ya have time. Flexible scheduling.

bwana and S D, I actually felt a little ree ree when I read about that (redneck penetrant, if I may) on here. Been turnin' wrenches since I was old enuff to hold one and have NEVER heard of it. But after thinking about it, the boss bought what he wanted used and if it worked then it's...

Haven't had any break from being sprayed while parked. I am talking about sitting for a few months. Overloaded ? Yes. Rusted from sitting ? Yes. But never when maintained and loaded properly. Agree that use is the best solution.

Pennsylvania's roads will leave my packs shining like the sun. And my kidneys even more damaged than they are now. Another old trick, if it'll be parked for a while, spray the packs with penetrating oil. Not a perfect solution but every little bit helps. Still haven't tried the ATF / acetone...

That just might be the best idea yet. The suspension installed was designed for a certain load. If you are never going to carry that weight then there is nothing wrong with having "lighter" springs installed. In fact, it's a very good idea. Just remember to have some kind of "tag", sticker...
