Thanks man. Heres some more

Drop is done, not happy with the front though. Needs more in the front to keep it level. or i guess i could raise the rear a hair with the shackles. made some brake lines for the SSBC kit which is giving me another problem.. sway bars in, shock extenders are in, summit pan and fluid in, driveshaft in, fluid needs to be bled but thats about it..

Need some wood blocks under the wheels so the truck will get off the lift. haha




front is wayyy to high.. about a good 1.5" higher then the rear. i have 2inch drop spindles and 3inch coil springs



Next SSBC problem (help needed or advice)
the rim USED to sit on the ledge of the axle inside there. Now its like right on the edge of falling off. Basically the only thing thats holding it to the axle shaft is the lugs and lug studs. If you catch my drift.


sitting on the lift a little bit haha


custom lines into the russell stainless line.

She's coming along!!! can't remember....have you decided on rims yet?

 

[AtomicHoe094]

if i find the right pair local i might jump, for now, the limited rims and tires will have to do. finding a 5x5 bolt pattern is harder then you think

I hear that. 5x5 bolt patterns are almost extinct these days and you have to really look for them especially if you're wanting a bigger wheel. My '77 is 5x5 (as have been several previous trucks) and most wheel manufacturers are building for 6 lug trucks/suvs because that's what most are these days.

so i ended up getting the front down a little more and raising the rear a little higher. It evens out pretty good but need to have the springs settle in the front first as well.
Got all the brakes bled tonight and have yet another problem help me out..

A few years ago when i was blowing doughnuts in the snow i noticed i can lock up the front tires with the brakes (no gas) and the rearned would still push me through the snow..
Thought it was the crappy drums so i redid everything in side them. Still didnt help.

Put on the SSBC drum to disc brake, had the truck on the lift and put it in drive. The fronts lock up fine and dandy, the rears on the other hand still arnt at its full potential.
Proportioning valve sound like it could cause this??

Other then that i need to grab another set of rear shocks (too big) and figure out this valve thing and ill be on the road...

questions comments concerns????

Wasn't a new valve included in the conversion kit?

 

[clean454]

Wash that thing already!!!! Lol looks awesome ! Get fender measurements

 

[AtomicHoe094]

ahha at clean. i cant where its parked at in the shop/ i need to move up a good 50feet to hit a drain lol

Sun- they dont include those, only bigger master cylinders.. SSBC makes that adjustable one that im debating to going to. Bypassing all the ABS ******** and going old school.. They brake way harder with it off anyways
