I decided to get my money back and fortunately the guy was really cool about it.

Thanks for that info Polar...Wow you got a smokin deal on those leafs! I'll give deaver and like you said, maybe they will work with me! Are you running a longer shackle?

Should I just get my cash back and look for some Deaver F53's?

Maybe i just got a bad ignition coil...idk! But right now im running the stocker and it runs great. The 6 litre tune article reccomended gapping the plugs .055...I was a little concerned with this "running the stock ignition" so meet somewhere in the in the middle and went with .050 gap, stock is .0...

Ive got an issue here...when i got home i measured the leaf springs and there 2.25" wide...not 2.5"...this doesnt sound right! are the f150 springs dead on 2.5"?

I really need your guys input, the guy said he would give me the $$ back so i need to make a decision...HELP!!!

Thanks

I did the six liter tune and was impressed...the purpose of the after market ignition coil is to bump the voltage output which allows you to open up the plugs a bit more for a better burn. Im sure the reason I felt such an improvement was due to the timing advancement though..When i first checked my...

Picking up the leaf springs and shackles after work today!

To make up for the 1/2 in difference in leaf spring width I was going to cut out some 2.5 in diameter washers using 1/4 inch plate.

Would you guys recommend welding them to the inside of the leaf hanger so they dont rotate?

Nick the guy said he wants $100 for the shackles which means I could get the leafs for $400. What does Mark charge for his shackles?

Phil, thanks for explaining leapfroggin...ill keep that in mind!

Thx for the help guys...Nick i talked him down to $500 with the shackles.

Phil what the heck is leapfrogging? HAHA

I can get just the leafs even cheaper...should I even bother with these shackles? What length shackles are you guys running?

I need some help here guys... So heres the deal, i found some new national leafs for a f150 and C&D shackles for $600...First off is that a good price? Also can i use these shackles with some sort of spacers? Heres the specs the guy gave me on the springs: 10 leaf pack leaf eyelet to eyelet - 52" sp...

Decisions decisions

Hmm...well heres another question, what size shock would you guys reccomend if i want to got through the floor pan...I know 12 if i want to stay under. I want to get as much travel possible out of the leaf springs...."without breaking them" haha

Orderd the coils today from JBG, I decided to go with the deaver 5.5's $160 not a bad deal but the S&H is what got me...total came out to $203. Now I need to figure which leaf springs to run....Thinking either the Deaver F53 or the F64, any reccomendations. I heard the F53- would be a softer ride bu...

Hey TCM...Im thinking of doing an hid conversion and euro style headlamps....what do you typically charge for the hid conversion?

looking good... thanks for adding the pics, this will help ne with my design! do you plan on adding a cross bar connecting the two shock hoops for support?

Thx guys..glad to hear i dont have to spend more $ on steel right now! Im running 33's but had future plans of going with 35's when they wear out.

Jason that would be awesome if you could post those pics when your finished!

SO I just got a set of Solo cut & turned beams along with their extended radius arms. I plan on using the existing coil bucket and building a shock hoop. Ive been told that a 5" spring would be ideal for this setup but I cant seam to find a 5" spring other then the deaver 5.5. What are you guys runn...

Looking for some F53 or F64 deavers for a 93 bronco.

Thanks,
Randy

Hey whats up Paul, glad to see you guys finally joined! I picked up the C&T beams and radius arms on saturday from bobby. Thanks for all the help! Just need to figure out which spring I want to run up front. Cant seam to find the 5" springs you guys have been talking about other then the deaver 5.5's.

I cant wait to get crackin on the suspension....The anticipation is killin me haha.

Thanks 7D6F250, Im pretty happy with the way the bumper came out especially for being my fist one!

West Covina, CA - About 3 miles from SOLO Motorsports!

Thanks guys! During my vist at Solo Paul was extremley helpful. He broke everything down for me explaining how they cut & turn their beams to what the best bang for the buck would be. He gave me a tour of their new shop and let me look at a few of their trucks...the red Solo bronco is awesome, had t...
