2000 dodge ram 1500 project

[Crocdocs]

Ok as long as the cheapy has rca ports hooking the amp up for the subs shouldn't be an issue. My truck had the infinity system stock, but some douchenozzle p/o replaced all of the speakers and removed the amps so unfortunately I had to straight wire my speakers into the system. If I get a stronger amp for my subs, I'll use the one I have now to power the panels and doors.

It doesn't, I plan i getting like a kenwood for it when I do the system, all I was looking for when I got the cheapy was mp3 jack. Lol

If anyone remembers on the first page I said this truck has one tone suspension. Very bumpy ride. Lol, I actually liked the rear one ton when I had my car on a trailer becuase it felt perfect and didn't sqaut very much. So I've been thinkin how hard it would be to put half ton back in the front. Obviously Id have to have the lifted springs but wanted to know how hard it is and if they will be correct size?
Viewing pleasure!

Tyler?!

Yeah buddy
I think I read that 2500 springs give 2 inch to a 1500, so what ever size lift springs you have plus 2 should be the same

It'll probly be awhile but I want it to sit exactly how it does Cuz without the trailer it sits perfectly level uve seen it before

One ton front suspension I believe is the same as 2500 stuff. 1500 coils are not shorter but softer. You *should* be able to put 1500 coils on a D60, but don't quote me on it.

The guy I bougt it from just said that it was easier to put the 1ton suspension on it so I don't know, hopefully I can find the length of these springs and order some 1500 ones when I get to it.

The D70 is 7inches and the D50 is 5inches I will have to figure out my loft I think is about a 5in suspension,

 

[Bubs]

When I get home I'll measure to the inside of my front fender, then you can do the same and subtract the 3 in from the body lift and difference in tire size to get an estimate of the lift over mine

 

[Crocdocs]

So I'm putting together the posi loc cable, and replaced the worn pads on te shift collar

 

[Crocdocs]

Got the posi lock cable all ready to be mounted permanently once I get the axles in, it's all sealed up and adjusted and ready to go. When it gets mounted permanetly I am going to do the wirering, vent hose, and route the cable nicely. So far I'm liking how the kit works.


Also my new hub/bearing assembly mounted on my new rotors. Just so you know these studs need HAMMERING to get seated all the way lol. Painted black becuAse didn't want to start rusting. Ready for the axles!


Also I checked my rear diff and the cover said its a 95 with 273 gears lol wow.

Pic of the drum incase anyone can tell anything by that lol

I measured to my fender and I am roughly 37 inches on roughly 32's (31.6"). So if you have you fender height minus the 3 inch body lift and then the difference in tire size you will know how much spring lift you have.

Just measure from center of the axle to fender, that way I don't have to get messed up with different tores size I can just subtract 3in from body lift. Lol

Alright give me a second

Alright give me a second

I won't be able to measure I Untill tommrow anyway

Please post up your impressions of those rotors.
