The frame after removing the TTB upper spring bucket and shocks

|
Marking the hole to mount a 78/79 lower spring perch
|
|
|
A little drill press action
|
|
|
This is the TTB lower spring mount after some cutting and grinding. This was used to support the 78/79 spring perch
|
|
|
The engine cross member was in the way on the drivers side so I put 3 bolts where I could and button welded the rest of the empty holes to the frame.
|
|
|
I used an F250 shock hanger for a new shock mount
|
|
|
New spring perch ready for a spring

|
Here comes my new fancy, made by Deaver, Superflex 78/79 6" lift springs. I chose these in preperation for an SAS in the future.
|
|
|
Mounted and lookin sweet!
|
|
|
New Bilstein shocks. My extended brake lines are stretched to the limit. I also can bottom the shock out with a little pressure. As the tire is heavy I will need limiting straps.
|
|
|
I moved the spring bucket forward approximately 1" in preperation for an SAS
|
|
|
With the springs installed as shipped I had 10" of lift!!!
|
|
|
It might be hard to get out of the garage like this
|
|
|
The cool thing about these springs is you can make adjustments if necessary
|
|
|
Turned out far better than I had pictured!
|
|
|
I mounted the limiting straps in between the shock mounts
|
|
|
I have a full 10" of droop with the limiting straps installed! Not too bad for a TTB!
