Rear is done. I got another 3 inches of lift totaling about 6". I used WJ 5.5 lift springs ;Krypton drop bracket; ford F250 rear shocks;and extended brake line.

Looks good man, you can take off your lsv spring for better braking power if you want.

[snow4me]

Looks Awesome!!! Are those black shocks the F-250 shocks or the old ones? Your tires look puny! ;-)

[PaMountianbiker]

Black ones are from F250 I had bilstens. I have 33's sitting in the garage.

Very nice.

 

The 5.5" WJ springs...where did you purchase them from? Or really all I would like to know is if you have the spec's on them - free length, spring rate (lb/in).

 

I didn't get my rear brake line yet, but I'm curious to see how different WJ springs affect our lift height.

 

Mine are 4" lift springs, 16.25" free length, and are 190 lb/in spring rate (I load mine down so got a higher spring rate coil).

 

Thanks, can't wait to see the rest of it!!!

[snow4me]

Are those stock F250 shocks? I can't wait to see it finished!!! Get cracking!!!

Also, which coil spring adapters did you use, the bolt in ones or the weld in ones?

Edited March 27, 2011 by snow4me

[PaMountianbiker]

yes they are stock shocks from my F250(factory) . I used the weld on adapters for the springs.

I don't know what rate they are or length but i got them from Iron rocks offroad. How did you cut the pig tail off ? Where? I cut right across from end my piece that was left looked like a G

[Rick13]

Thanks for the respone...

 

IIRC Iron Rock sticks around 175 lb/in spring rate. I didn't know they sold a 5.5" lift coil. I had seen the 3, 4, and 6.5" lifts - so wow, 5.5 sounds like a good choice.

 

I had a friend with a plasma cutter cut as little coil as possible - basically cutting so that what is left is almost in-line with the wraps. Basially puts the free length at 16". My springs are TeraFlex 4" lift coils and were on close-out (cheap!) but have a high spring rate (190 lb/in).

 

 

I have 2 different size coil spring isolaters/spacers, so if I don't get enought height, I'll just add them in as needed.

 

Any ways, glad you posted up your results...nice to see.

mine were on closeout also said 5" on web site but had 5.5" on box looks like good height though ? When I get front done I will really know I am waiting on my 4.6's to come before I start front though. Should be here on Mon or Tues

Looks like you will need longer swing arms now, and longer drive shaft.
