New From Dallas

[rwhockey29]

supp guys, just joined.from rockwall texas, just east of dallas. right now, im driving my baby, a 2002 ram 1500 quad cab with a 5.9L magnum engine. its got way too many mods to list, so ill just show you:

you cant see alot of the mods. lets just say, sports cars are suprised when a lifted truck beats them. 11" lift, full system, and a TT kit are future plans


unfortunately, its 2WD, so i figure i needed something a lil better offroad. so, i bought this yesterday:

1989 Cherokee 4 door laredo. 4x4, 4.0L i6, AW4 tranny. all stock. needed the radiator, fan, belts, vacuum canister, fender, rear bumper,and hood put back on, along with alot of wires and vacuum hoses hooked back up. i got everything but the fender,hood, and rear bumper put on today. i got a great deal on it, i think at least.

its a trail only rig, so im cutting the fenders(or taking them off? or fabbing my own tube fenders?) and doing a budget lift. bigger front coils(f-150 coils?), and prolly an s10 leaf spring pack. im making the front and rear bumper myself. tempted to chop the top and back doors and make a truck, but well see

Welcome to and The RRC.

Since you live in the "Dallas Area" I am sure there are a few members up there that would be willing to lend you a hand.

Nice truck BTW, I have red 08 1500 myself, no mods, but it's only got the 4.7 v8, but it's a 4x4.

first off welcome! and yes sparty there is another young'un among us

i had a friend that we lifted his MJ and did SOA in the rear with stock leaves and E van coils up front, which i heard the F-150 coils and E-van coils are pretty similar so i wouldnt expect any flexyness out of the front if you went that route.

might i suggest ZJ coils and a bastard pack?

Me and Swampy'll go help you.

when im down of course, or maybe if someone pays for gas or offers something i cant refuse.

i know where some 3.5 lift zj springs are at a junk yard and they would be cheap.it also has a 2 inch budget boost.

 

[rwhockey29]

i might not be able to buy beer, but i can buy pizza and give someone money for a beer run

where at? i was looking around and it looks like the f150 coils are super stiff. ill be going with a bastard pack in the back most likely

you could run some bronco coils... they would net you about 8" of lift
