1994 F150 (The wife made me do it)

Eyeball the driveline on your truck as we'll ,from what I recall on a friends truck he had issues with the carrier bearing.

Drive shaft Carrier? I have a one piece.

[Rmc]

Must be due to 4x4, his was 2 x. He had 2wd e4od then swapped to a c6. But that was years ago. Better in one piece, I'm pretty sure I'm thinking of the right truck anyway.... Now I'm going to have to call that guy cause the crs is kicking in.

[nubreed71]

haha. See that's snowball I am trying to avoid.

Stock bed Cantilever F150 anybody?

If you do a cantilever setup, just make 2, I'll take one...

[SteveG]

No need for a cantilever. Use a single 4.0" coil-over on links, tuck the shocks way up by the cab and do a minimal upper mount that leaves plenty of room for cargo.

P.S. I know a guy that has the parts to build two 4.0"x17" travel coil-overs [insert evil super villain laugh].

[nubreed71]

Giant DDL kit on a Ranger. I'm sure something similar could be done on an F series.

Alright so I think I have decided. We will call this stage 1

4-4.5 over beams up front with 14's
Deaver F53's out back with some probably 16's though the bed. Clean simple little shock mounts/cage

I picked up a set of axles last night. 8.8 with 4.56 and Aurburn LS and a D44 with matching gears(all for $300) So I will run that for a little while and see how I like it.

[steve-oh]

Doing the same on the front of my f150 but am still undecided on the rear, how much travel are you thinking with the rear setup you are using?

[nubreed71]

Can't wait to see your bedcage design. Starting to think about that for mine as well.

Awesome.... seriously consider those 3.5" beams Andy has.. .those are pretty sexy, and a great deal!!! Also, Deavers are a great starting point.. that will get you in the dirt asap!!

I already know the price. I want to try Leaf springs. I have never had leaf springs on anything before. It will get linked eventually.

I can throw a set of beams together pretty easy and cheap. If not I am sure I would grab them.

Looks Like I am going wider up front. Picked up some glass yesterday.

That black truck in the other thread, is on Autofab flare side glass. Bigger bulge and higher cut I believe.

Well I will add that to the list of stuff I shouldn't spend money on.

Yeah, that's what I am afraid of.

[otter]
