As much as these cost i want them on immediately. I wish i had the equipment. I used to be pretty quick at mounting and balancing

I'd love to have the equipment to mount and balance. I'd also love to have a lift. Someday maybe.

Old tires will go on the Expedition

There's a guy on GMFS that is selling brackets that he makes to convert the 800's to the strut and coil spring suspension. It crossed my mind to do the conversion, but there's a lot of factors that I'm worried about.

There's absolutely no way I'd trust just a bracket. The frame needs strengthened big time.

That was my exact thinking too. All the kit contains is a lower bracket and an optional upper bracket to help strengthen the upper loop. I was worried that this could end up causing a lot of issues later on down the road which is why I'm skeptical. The only other kit I saw which is made by another company is basically the same setup, but it contains something like a strut tower brace that the other kit does not.

I'd want a hoop over the motor and boxing all the way back to where the torsion bar crossmember is. Could be a fun project.[emoji38]

Rides great. I need to drop the rear a bit.

[Chris]

Just measured. 32.5 up front and 35 out back.

[Daryl LBZ]

Oh yea, definitely needs a drop.

I am going to do a 2" drop shackle.

Nice, your trucks going to be a sports truck. I was going to add a helper to mine in the rear, but I think I'm just going to add a 2" block.

Should have already had a 2" block.
