These should look familiar to anyone with a mcgauphys flip kit cut my stock shock extensions up and made new mounts

Underneath shot looks like it was made this way :thumb:

 

[04sthemi]

What kinda shocks are you running?

 

[charged392]

There extra load shocks from 4 years ago when I use to tow the wheeler around to go mudding will be switching them for some drag shocks soon

 

[arocketman]

NICE. :thumb:

 

[kcd1369]

Shocks repositioned susp feels alot stiffer in the rear now I like it better this way now to get bar mounts redone

Keith, are those air shocks on the back?

 

[kcd1369]

Sorry. I was on page 96 when I asked that. Didn't see page 97 with the question already asked.:facepalm:

 

[charged392]

No problem kcd1369 my truck Is an ongoing research project the bars i made on a whim because caltracs were too much for me at the time turned out to be the best thing ever now with the shocks moved the intake change and the bars redone I need to get to the track soon for some testing but need bed back on first

Also vids coming soon showing axle wrap with and without bars I can say without a 3" climb in my diff is evident from the video I have once bars back on will make another vid and put both up for all to see

Who makes Drag Shocks for our trucks???

 

[charged392]

Drag shocks are not really vehicle specific as much as measurement specific need to know

Max length
Compressed length
Bolt size
And mount width

Then you call and shop the various company's eddy will be helping me with this when I get around to it will be running 70/30 front 50/50 rear to try and turn some lift into forward momentum less lift means less weight transfer but faster et's I think I will be able to play with it a little and still have traction

 

[charged392]

Here's the video of the bars off and the bars back on with no tension just set to the gap huge diff even without preload

I'm hoping it's just the vid but, looks like your pinion angle is off a little Keith.:ermm:

 

[charged392]

Nope trans points downward pinion points upward perfect angles under load about 3-4degrees diff good enough for me don't have any vib issues sticking with this setup

 

[04sthemi]

Dat dumped muffler tho..

 

[Ghost03hemi]

pinion points upward perfect angles under load about 3-4degrees diff

It would spin the axle easier under load and suspension squat at 0 degree. Not to mention, how much harder it's on the u joints at 3-4 degree's on a heavy load. Just trying to help you get your truck into the 11s Keith. Every little bit helps.:thumb:

 

[Ghost03hemi]

heard this guy making allot of noise, changed both of them for good measure

:whistling::ermm:

 

[charged392]

Made this guy today works very nice tested it on #2exhaust worked great

On a side note found something I didn't want to find as most of you know I swapped the 03/05 eng and built the 03 eng for my
Truck and did nothing to the porting or valves today while digging in and making the compressor I found out that #4 exhaust valve stem tip is half ground away meaning that valve is not opening completely at all the rest of the stems on this side are all worn out and wavy to te touch not good

So this means its time to start saving for some new valve stems likely larger and a nice set of roller rockers so this doesn't happen again keep in mind these heads now have 178k on them they were not even decked just cleaned so I think they made it long enough for now I am just going to drive it as if I didn't see it and when I get a miss address it then (not sug really but hey saving cash right now)

 

[TylerB]

Time to start saving for some Thitek heads. Drool

 

[charged392]

Yeah no those cost way to much with what they want I will be porting them myself with eddys tools and help and have him do the valve job and finish it off with some Harland sharps or similar roller rockers

So we got two options in south Florida for "hands on" tuning? opcorn:
