Mission accomplished! Truck is back on its own weight and ready for an alignment. Had a heck of a time getting the old leafs out, had to torch both sides of both main eye bolts, thank god for torches.
A before pic for reference:
How she sits now:
Had to add a few washers to get the right amount of lift on my supercab 4.0:
So I'm guessing I have about 3.5" of lift now, which I almost needed in order to get the pivot bolt about 1" above the hub's center-line as is suggested in the tech article section.
Stats:
James Duff 3" stage 1 kit (the brackets drop the radius and pivot arms 2 inches)
about 1.25" worth of washers as coil spacers
drop pitman arm (drops steering linkage 2 inches)
"new" leafs from a 2006 ranger with only 30k miles on them
1" lift shackles
32x11.5x15 BFG's on 15x8 cragar wheels with 3.75" backspacing
James Duff shocks in the front (8108's, good for 3-4" lifts)
ProComp ES3000 (32650)shocks in the rear
Man my 32's look small now.
Do I need to go another 1" higher in the rear?
