Whats the plan for the new exhaust ?

If i were to run something wider than a 11.5 tire, like a 12.5 or something what backspacing would i require ? what is the stock backspacing on a 99' rim ?

nice, looks good either way, i like the "blacked out" look he has.

Thats a 3 in. body lift it looks like, so theres going to be plenty of clearance on that particular setup.

How much lift ?

Did you ever find it ? i too replaced the tensioner and top pulley and its still there. Its annoying the hell out of me.

Pics look familiar in the first set, just put 99' in its place. :thumbsup:

Just looking at the pictures I would have to assume this is more than just a 6 in. lift. It looks like there is a body lift on it based on how much of the frame rail it is showing. IDK just thought i would point it out.

If you dont mind the higher prices, BDS is the way to go hands down. They will replace any single part that breaks for the lifetime of the product. Hell you can bring in an entire crossmember with mud dripping off it into them if something went wrong with it and tell them you want it replaced...

Something thats been bothering me for a long time now, my left rear sags 3/4of an inch lower than my right side. I know that the tank is on that side, but when you look from the back you can actually see the lean and its annoying. Other than removing the leaf spring to have my shop bend it up...

Yea thats exactly what i was trying to say, atleast i know i havent gone crazy yet. Thats why i was also saying around 1/2 in. because looking at my old shock you can see that the old boot is only extended roughly 3/4 of an in. to an inch. But hey Yuke if you want two adjustable Rancho...

I have my torsion bars cranked and ordered Rancho shocks for 2.5 in. of lift, after getting them in they were almost 2/3 compressed past normal. When you crank the T bars you just changing the angles of your control arms (which is why its not recommended, along with substantial T bar fatique)...

If your only cranking the torsion bars to get lift out of the front you dont want any shocks that are made for lifted applications. Torsion bar cranking doesnt pull the shock out at all, unlike a full drop lift or spindle lift would do. Infact puting a 3 in. lift shock in there will be way to...
