Message: [QUOTE="HS-MotorsportsDallas, post: 1266090, member: 19010"] Thought I would update a few things on here. I wish this post was full of pictures of shiny go fast parts but, unfortunately, we're in the middle of testing some new parts and nailing down our divided pedestal stuff so not much has happened under the hood of the truck other than an oil change. Since it needed to be done, I did a few maintenance items which included doing a brake job, packing the wheel bearings and replacing the ball joints while I was in there. The shocks were still the original ones and needed replacing. I wanted to put some adjustable shocks on the rear anyway so it got new shocks on all four corners. Over the years I have had a lot of success with Cal-Tracs on many of the cars I have raced or helped run. It was an obvious choice to call John and get a set of those on the way. I think they will work well in a 2wd application. While I was installing the Cal-Tracs, I removed the overload spring which dropped the rear about an inch. I left the two thin blocks the factory has under the leaf pack but may end up removing those as well after seeing the height of the rear after the install. You will notice in the pictures that the u-bolts are plenty long and need to be shortened. I decided to leave them as they are until I decide if I want to change anything on the rear springs. Once I've made up my mind, I will either shorten those or get some new ones made. [/QUOTE]
