Thank you. Although they are more $ than a typical shock extender, I liked it better because it did not hang down. Good luck!

Order some of those shock extenders. Great video. Im sure these worked better with the sway bar.
@laurencevillegarage2 жыл бұрын
Yes, I've never cared for the lower extenders, they seemed like a necessary evil. The sway bar will hang down a bit, but not too low. I'm having some parts made....it may take me a while to get it all together. I'll be starting on the front end of the truck shortly.

Im in the process of doing the rear hangers, i did the passenger side already, going to start on the drivers side, been looking for info on the drivers side hanger, is there a way to get the new hanger in, without removing gas tank/bed ? Ty for the video, from houston Also, i did not have to trim the bed-frame bracket on the passenger side, had enough clearance do not have to trim- hopefully i dont on the drivers side . 1994 singlecab shortbed

Side note, I paused the video after u pulled the fuel pump- to ask about being able to accomplish without removing bed/gas tank, and you answered my question a few seconds later lol. 🎉
@laurencevillegarage21 күн бұрын
Removing the driver side hanger with the gas tank and bed in place may be doable, but removing the bed, or at least raising the bed out of the way would make it way easier to do and take less time to complete. The gas tank is the same way...removing/dropping the gas tank makes the project much easier. There are connections and bolt access inside the frame rail that would be really tough to do otherwise. It's one of those projects that seems like it adds extra time/effort for what little you are trying to do, but, that trying to do the hanger with both in place will be a lot tougher to do. Bottom line, it can probably be done, but I wouldn't even try it.

Did you have to adjust the pinion angle? Thanks!!!

With a 4" rear and 2" front, no, the angle is still ok. If you do a 6" rear...yes.

I'm bit confused, how was it lowered?? Through the shock extenders or did he get different leaf springs?
@laurencevillegarage2 жыл бұрын
I used 2” shackles and 2” drop hangers for the 4” drop. I used the shock extenders to use shocks I already had and not use a drop shock and to improve the shock angle from stock.

How dose this ride ..? Dose it bottom out on bump stops..? I noticed u did not c notch the frame which I don't wanna do to mine either
@laurencevillegarage Жыл бұрын
No, it does not bottom out, but, it will affect your load capacity. You can’t carry a load of tile or a pallet of grass. The quality of ride will depend a lot on the type and quality of shocks you use. Get a good shock and you will be good.

How did you route the emergency brake?
@laurencevillegarage10 ай бұрын
I routed the emergency brake cable over the top of the driveshaft/differential and secured it in place with the factory bracket. The bracket is turned in a different position (than stock) to the top of the rear differential just above the pinion/rear driveshaft mounting pad.

@laurencevillegarage2 жыл бұрын
@@gerardolopez5875 I’m not sure about it fitting the C10, I’ve never tried that. Not more power, but that m/c is made for f/r disc brakes and the reservoirs are more equal in size/fluid displacement. The one on the c1500 has 2 different size reservoirs, that is why you would need a proportioning valve to control the fluid/pressure to the rear brakes to keep them from locking up prematurely.
