    Sounds great! Good job on taking the next step on this one. Let me know how I can help. My upper brackets fit inside the factory hoop, which is why they are smaller.

    Good explanation! Sorry I missed that question.

    No you measure from the bottom bolt of the shock to the top of the shock hoop at the ride height you want. Since its at a height you want you don't need to mess with the Jack, just measure it as it sits now.

    No it will still be fine, you just need to know how far the LCA is from the shock hoop to know what length stuff you need. If it sits at the height you want right now you can go and measure from that bolt to the shock hoop and we can figure out some parts.

    The easiest way to see what parts you need is to Jack up the front of the truck to where you want it, then measure from the lower shock bolt to the shock hoop. Once we have this we can identify parts. Without this it's just guessing.

    I believe most of them cut off the stock mount and welded on their own bracket.

    The amount of lift you can get is the same as with a huge crank on the tbars, so 2-3" max. Any problems associated with a big tbar lift like crappy balljoint angles and bumpsteer will still be there because the truck is still lifted, this just changes how its lifted. The ride will be drastically...

    The required stiffness depends on shock travel. The 1200-1300 number is only for the short travel shocks.

    Looking at my drawings I think a 1.5" one is about the biggest you can fit without touching anything. Thats measuring from the center of the hole. If you trim around where the welds are you can fit a much bigger one. The center of the hole is roughly 1" from the edge of the top mount, so 2"...

    Because pulling the other head is that much more work? Sorry man, good luck.

    A bad lifter will often take out the cam....if they didnt replace the cam as well it probably took out the new lifters.

    Right....a bushing on top would only do anything if you were applying force in that direction...which means the shock would be overextended and you would have a whole different set of issues to deal with.

    I dont think the bushing on top is doing anything for him. You need washers on both sides of the lower bushing so it gets compressed evenly.

    Slightly larger OD than the poly you bought...but I think the guy in the PT thread tried poly and it didnt stand a chance. I think his current one that is working is derlin.

    The spring must be supported evenly otherwise the loading gets all weird which a coil spring cannot handle. At minimum you need a cup to evenly distribute the load.

    Well thats interesting....to partly answer why not, I just wanted to use bolt on parts, and once I got mine working I was done with R&D lol.

    I was thinking if his deal works out I could have a bunch cut and include it with my brackets. Or much easier for you, a williams washer, http://www.northwesterntools.com/-c-343_259.html

    I just have to draw it up in autocad and email it to the place I have laser cut the main brackets. Two concentric circles should take about 3 seconds to draw lol. I was thinking 1/4" thickness. Any idea what size you want? Only thing though is there is a $50 minimum order.

    If it works out for you I could have some washers cut for basically nothing from whatever thickness steel.
