I am doing a driveline park brake when I upgrade my rear end. Probably going to use Yamaha Rhino parts.

Ok, finally got this aligned and driving again.... Used the late model tire carrier(Thanks again Tony) and did the Kritter bracket flip to lower my spare. Rear bumper is a re-use from Pelley.

Suspension is relatively stock and works amazingly well. Bombed down some railroad right of ways at 50mph and the Bilstein's are pretty nice. Front is strapped to keep 6.5" travel 5100's behind bucket shocks from full extension. I have the rear sway bar still connected, so no rear straps as it wont fully droop to shock extension length with the rebuilt/re-arched 1.5" stock springs. New Spicer joints and re-built DC got rid of all the vibration this used to have.

Pic's from the front. New F350 ambulance steering, and after driving again I'm gonna be on the hunt for an E150 bracket and do the sag pump conversion pretty soon.

Right on Bob, 5160s in the rear?

Bondobob · Post by **Bondobob** » Thu Jun 07, 2012 7:13 pm

Actually 5165's Bilstein # 25-176117. I still need to drop my bumps about an inch to make sure I don't smash the rears if I take a hard hit and this will make sure my mod'd stock springs don't negative arch either. The rear sway bar will probably go away as well. Keeping it super simple.
