AKlowriderZ71, here's a picture of the tool from their site.

I wish you the best Rob, but the stock spring is 4.235". Very interested in the results of the install.

So the shock length is the limiting factor. Good info, THANKS!

Hey me to man, it would be great to have a off shelf spring that provides a good stance and good weight transfer.

Come on now, i'm out here fighting the war on terrorism and your getting me fired up thinking I got problems back home...lol

So I had the lady back at it to confirm, she's the best!

New spring O.D. is 5.5, here are v6 springs.



I.D. old springs and new is both 4.25. She also fit the 1" chevy lean spacer on the new spring and it fits perfect.

I'm a lucky man, I was really stoked when she got under the truck and not only found my shackles, but got a good picture.

Her whole family races, like they get together and going racing almost every weekend. It's pretty cool, she's been around it since a child, so I guess I got lucky. Shes been looking at TBSS, might be her next set of wheels and workout great to pull the truck/boat. She's already asking about what we can do to it so she can race when we go to the track...

Here's a picture of her dads lastest toy, they built it from frame rails up. Last summer it was running 5.20's 1/8, BBC N/A . This was before it was completed with a red strips down the middle.

Younger Brother
