Brian, Ever thought of the dead coils used for the Dodge 2500/3500s?

Chop the 5 dead coils!

Re: Brian's '96
Interesting idea, but what's the rate? I don't think they would yield enough travel.tcm glx wrote:Brian, Ever thought of the dead coils used for the Dodge 2500/3500s?

Now, check out the cans on this! Haha! Haven't done a thing in a while, but got started on the resevoir cans this evening.

Re: Brian's '96
Alright. This appears to be the easiest mounting position for these monsters.

Re: Brian's '96
Did anybody else see small stuff? Cuz I sure didn't. Haha! Actually PM, it was not easy to come up with a location for these things. This space is a compromise of sorts. It blocks space where I planned to tie the bumper in originally. I went through a dozen different configurations and this was the winner. Now I can finally cut some hose and assemble the shocks.

Re: Brian's '96
It's get difficult to get excited when a truck has been down for that long. Getting pretty close though! Hopefully you can get a hold of some springs... what else needs to be done besides that?

Re: Brian's '96
Relocate the battery
Replace the T-case
Replace the Master Cylinder
Reroute brakelines
Replace rear wheel bearings
Build a rear bumper
Build a structure for the front end
Mount the glass hood
Finish the front bumper
Replace body mounts
Not necessarily in that order, but that's the short list.
