    1983 d-150 2” spacers sitting on bump stops.

    So I completely rebuilt my front suspension the last couple weeks and I installed a 2” coil spring spacer everybody said would work and my truck is now 3-4 inches higher and sitting on the bumper stops. Could I get smaller bumps stops or do I have to cut 1/4 coil out of the springs?

    Tire size question

    If it’s on the front it’s probably not a problem but if it’s on the back and your going to haul stuff or tow a trailer they might be a problem

    That’s what it looks like with the 31’s

    Tire size question

    I’m running 31/10.5/15s on my truck and they rub a bit. 255s would be the way to go, the 31s rub if you hit a speed bump but other than that they fit good. Speedo would be a bit off if your going 55 it’s probably going 59. It would keep rpms at highway speed low and would give more torque.

    31s Under A D-150

    I got my tires mounted up on my truck, Stock were 235/75/15. Now I’m running 31/10.5/15s they fit pretty good with my clapped out suspension.

    Slant six no spark

    Someone took of the breaker-less a long time ago it has points now. I’m not sure what ballast resister I had in it. I’ve heard people talk about grounding being the problem but I’m not sure why.

    Slant six no spark

    I got my 83 running this fall, I put in a new coil and ballast resister. Then a couple days later it wouldn’t start and had no spark again. Why would it burn out a brand new coil? I ordered a internally resisted performing flamethrower coil do you think that will help?

    D-150 questions Tires Control, arm, lift

    I got the control arm in without too much trouble. I cleaned up all the rims and painted those. I’m still unsure about the tires tho, I picked up as set of 31s with decent tread and need to mount those up and see if they fit.

    D-150 225 slant six NO SPARK

    I don’t know if it has it. Someone cut out all the electronic ignition and put points back in it.

    D-150 225 slant six NO SPARK

    My d-150 has no spark I put in points, cap, rotor, wires, coil, ballast resister. And it fired right up and ran. Then the ballast resister started smoking and stopped working and the coil died, what would cause this to happen

    D-150 questions Tires Control, arm, lift

    I recently bought a 83 d-150 with a broken passenger upper control arm. I got some solid arms and I found some tires there 31-10.5-r15 do I need a lift to run these tires? Also what’s the best way to change a control arm?
