If you do go with a single piece longer driveshaft, make sure to check for the critical speed of the driveshaft and build accordingly....

I'll defidently do my research when that time comes. I'm not sure as of now which would be the best option

Haven't measured it, I will tomorrow, I want to bring the front down another 2 inches when I ditch the leaf springs so it will match the rear better. What did yours measure out to 25"?

I've had it to 24" but street height is close to 27"

Mine is at 27.5" currently, I'm wanting to drop the front end atleast 2" when we 4 link, so it should be right at 25"

If push comes to shove this summer I might end up building an oil pan and getting it lower.

You shouldn't have to build an oil pan, I wouldn't think. Ours is pretty low and I'm still 2" from the pan.

Shorten or lower the track bar and build a mount for it.

I wanna come Levi... my truck is coming along very nicely with a fresh motor from csi

 

[kleann]

Not sure to be honest, I'd imagine atleast 200lbs difference

Okay thanks man, just thought I'd ask in case you knew. I want to put a 1st gen body on a 2nd gen single cab frame for a summer project. Just trying to figure out what the different cab configurations might weigh.

Thank you, the hood started out as a normal hood and a normal scoop, some cutting and fabing later they became one, it is technically "functional" but they don't do anything other then look cool IMO. I'm going to build another one for this truck beings I learned some things from the 1st one and I want to cut some weight out of this one.

Haven't spent any time on the truck at all latley. I've been devoting my time to helping Tim get his truck ready in time for TS. Hopefully making some test passes this Saturday to see what class we will be running at TS even though it's not mine it deserves a couple pictures on here
