14.00 x 20's keeping all three axles

[Broke Down]

I've been searching a little without a lot of luck, I was looking for some ideas to keep both rear axles without bobbing it. I've seen a few trucks done and love it, I guess my biggest question is what rear spring to use to make it all work.......work safely . If there are other threads I missed I apologize in advance. Thanks guys.

M809 series 5ton suspension maybe.

That is what I was thinking. I hope it's that easy....haha

just get an 800 series 5 ton and single it up with the 1400x 20 off a m900 series 5 ton.not much difference, and less head aches

they extend the dog bones and have the bottom couple springs in the spring pack replaced with longer ones

I'm hoping I could just go to a spring shop with a size and they could build it? I need to call our local spring guy and see maybe.

So this is needed:
Lengthen dog bones- I could do this easy
Two custom drive shafts will need to be made
Spring will need to be lengthened when I move the front axle
Tires, possibly wheels
Possibly modify brake lines and such
Depending on wheels used a possible hub flip

Trying to do my home work before I look like an idiot knee deep in a project that never gets done....haha. thanks guys, anyone have some pictures?

I agree with duece coupe, thats what I did with mine. The truck cost me $3100 the tires and wheels to single it out cost me another $1300. So now I have a seriously bad arse truck for a beer budget. Other than getting the tires put on its not hard to do. Just make sure you have a buddy to help, it definitly helps. Dont ask how I know

Just be patient and dont rush into anything, make sure you do what you want and get the results your looking for.

go all out and make 4 link systems for each axle... it will be epic!

I have actually considered doing that and using coil springs on the axles instead of leafs. Just a consideration that will probably never be followed through.

Oh, I checked the five ton out while I had it next to the deuce, the springs are much bigger. I'm looking to get some springs cut to match.

the more i read the more i want to go with a 395.

yes that is everything u have to do to fit 14.00x20s. we did one awhile back. I would suggest lifting it a little. tires look stuffed on a duece. iam considering doing it on a a3 now. we have a bobbed truck here now 8" lift on 53s but its way to big for everyday use. alot less work to run the 395s.
