Hello everyone,
I would bet know one remembers me as i havent been on here in a long time due to school and work and all.
Anyway I really need to fix my front end before I start driving farther to a new job.
Basically the front of my truck has 5.5" lift brackets and coils, but 4" radius arm brackets and I CAN NOT find 5.5" r/a brackets. So I want to make some.
On my current brackets there is a 2x2" piece of square tube welded to the plate that bolts to the frame, so Im trying to find out how much further down i need to take that bracket. Wether or not ill need a piece thats 3x2" or 4x2 etc etc.
If some one could do me a favor and get some measurements off of a 5.5" r/a bracket, OR measure the height from the ground to the lower ball joint, and from the ground to the center of the rear radius arm bolt on a factory suspension. On level surface hopefully.
Either of these measurements should give me the info I need to make a bracket with the correct amount of drop to be able to align it, because I currently cannot.
I would greatly appreciate the help, and that is why I come to TRS.
Thanks guys.
