***** Those plates from Ruffstuff DO NOT WORK with a SUA leaf Waggy axle. The Pumpkin sits too far over and is almost on the spring. The bracket is too wide to work>**********************

So. I though I royalty Fudged up i got the ubolts and got the axle mounted up and the weight of the truck on the springs. And guess what didn't clear the oil pan

Though I had to pull it all out and start from scratch again. But for some reason I got board and started looking up the specs for the 44054 springs. I found out that the centerpin is offset! Flipped those bad boys around and I pray it clears the pan

The post you all have been waiting for!


As much as I really want to just post when it is all done, I like progress photos.

Now the issue. We are currently thinking of a remedy. When the back end is on a hill and weight is shifted to the front driver. I got some steering issues 20200816_152943.jpg

I ordered a flat pitman arm to see if it will fix the issue

Nice man! If you don't mind me asking, what was your total cost on this? This is exactly what I want to eventually do to mine. I've decided to forgo doing the IFS lift In favor of SAS down the road (for durability/simplicity's sake in the long run). I'll have to go back and re-read the whole thread so I can get a list of parts together.

Looking good! Is there room to move the steering box forward if the new pitman arm doesn't do the trick? Looks like there might be enough but it's tight.

So far out of pocket im only at 1300.....


Keep in mind with that number its with all the parts I sold.

So In reality my spread sheet says 2800. Ill be posting that up once the build is complete. It has total amounts
