[@jasonstrout4502]

I like it how Greg says "I'll see you tomorrow" at the end of every video because now he really means it. Gerg you and your family are awesome keep up the hard work.

[@5197564501]

You have the cutest daughter. It made my heart melt when she helped you in the beginning of the video.

[@Zrelli_]

If you want to send me some measurements, I’ll make custom spacers for you out of billet aluminum

[@will_12valve37]

So glad theres daily uploads now

[@masonchristopher4758]

Can’t wait to see what you do with this! I bought some merchandise and you both had it shipped out so fast I was really impressed! Keep doing what your doing and build the VE

[@AP-vv1yu]

😂 her face said "dad what's taking so long? this goes like that" 😂😂😂😂

[@gd1996]

I envy the cleanliness of this truck has... working on my 01 now, fixing rust of course.

[@Sparky91884]

Greg! Please build this truck as a tow rig so you can have a 1st gen set up hauling the flatbed with the other 1st gen on it

[@Zinxed]

A 4x4 conversion would be so sick, super excited to see how this truck turns out

[@KinGTeraTino]

That’s awesome Greg can’t wait until my daughter and me can work on some projects once I get some space!

[@matthewsims359]

I like that truck. I also liked that phrase that you were trying to hide with a cough. 4wd👍👍👍

[@maynarddubsky4466]

Number 1, great job raising a little mechanic, number 2, the springs are probably stiffer than the stock ones

[@noelybarra1769]

Glad to see you on this journey!

[@mdlipps]

Love that truck. Can't wait to see what you're going to do to it. Keep making videos on this truck.

[@BolteBuilt]

I love seeing my daughter figure stuff like that out. Especially when working on the project.

[@hunterprowsemrereviews9141]

Awesome awesome video Greg A, much much better. Totally changed the look of it. Baby A, came out to lend a hand, she did put the coil pad back on the one side lol. I think new shocks, and possibly new coil pads would lift it even more get it closer.

[@IcedAssault]

Measure from the center of the hub straight up to the bottom of the fender. A little more accurate. I’m super stoked to see you posting more videos!

[@brycepalmquist425]

Love the videos everyday!! Keep up the good work and making them longer 🤘🏻

[@adamknight9248]

Saying it again VE pump build 😂 and a 4” exhaust

[@lakinthomsen2232]

Adam Knight dual 5 inch

[@scarface-39]

Woo Hoo 4x4 the grandpa truck!!!👍

[@dkkauffmanjr]

My ram front caliper was locking up turned out to be the brake hose. I'd highly recommend replacing the hose even if you opt for another caliper.

[@solomonshirley1711]

I was looking to fix the same issue on my d350, and what a lot of people did with the 250s was put the 350 front springs on to fix that issue

[@thatgray24v24]

Greg I put that same spring on my truck and put a 2 inch spaced on top it barely fit but I got it and it rides great

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Day late and an inch short. Decent shocks might lift it some also. Did that to a d150 stepside i had. Put new shocks and the truck went up an inch. Put new springs and the rear leafs needed to be replaced to make it level. Stock parts i might add.

[@jayg479]

Thank you for the daily content Mr A

[@i-like-turtles4900]

5:10 Looks like you may have yourself a future wrenching buddy there. So awesome!

[@earlellerbeecjf4155]

Significant improvement. Made a heck of a difference.

[@samuelyi9189]

Heck yeah man! I am in the process of 4wd swap on my 7.3 F250 Superduty.

[@kylesorensen83]

Don't forget to take into effect the weight of the fuel tank and steering column/box on the drivers side helping it sit a little lower.

[@masonray9823]

I put d350 springs in the front of my truck and it raised my truck 3 inches and now after a year it’s sitting at 2 3/4

[@coreyjohnson145]

I did these same springs on my first gen last year, they worked amazing. lifted my front almost 3 inches

[@mattyb496]

I heard they make it ride harsh? Any truth to that

[@timofeypinchuk877]

Where you buy the springs?

[@jerkfalife]

It keeps making me subscribe to the channel every time

[@decentgarage]

Doing this to one of my first gens here pretty soon. Already have the springs sitting in the garage. Gotta get the 1st gen crew cab painted first though

[@brentleckbee9524]

Hey Greg i use a Rox suspension 2 1/2 inch spacer I’ve ran them on my last three first gen’s they have worked perfectly I currently have them on one now they’re roughly about $40 for a set

[@TheFiremanJoe]

Lovin the daily videos!

[@Lucasbutnotoil]

Just bought an identical to this today. But much rustier!

[@lalo1915]

There’s a little horse shoe looking spacer that goes under the spring it’s kinda hard to install the spring and the spacer and it rides super stiff but it’s a good looking ride height I have the spring and the spacer on my truck

[@MrBoomer25]

If you dont name this truck "Gramps" I'll be so sad! 😂😂

[@matthewsims359]

I like it

[@cumminsredneck]

D150 lower control arms would give you some lift. The hot rod crowd will commonly use van/d350 lower control arms to get even lower because the coil pocket in set into the arm instead of perched on top of it. You will have to do bushings though because they use a different size bolt.

[@alexporter9807]

Keep it simple for now, upgrade as needed. Looks like a great long term project

[@curtismyers4532]

It’s looking better my man! Would these springs work with a 90 d150 gas?

[@baloghlcb]

Have to admit, giggled a little when you said you could go for another inch lol.

[@Rusty_Spiggle-Smith]

I put aluminum spacers in my 2wd firstgen and kept blowing balljoints I replaced 3 balljoints before I just said screw it and took em out haven't had a problem since I took them out.

[@Halffast719]

Make sure you buy some shock extenders. They just thread onto the threads. You can get a leveling kit off eBay for $50 go with the smallest one you can get otherwise it puts a lot of strain on those upper ball joints. I have videos about it on the KZbin.

[@kashanilla88]

theres universal coil spring spacer at most auto parts stores a 2" gives you a good 1¼ lift

[@jameshudson9479]

Son you gotta like these trucks 👊🏻

[@DieselAddict-vs9fc]

Damn i cant find springs for my 99 f250 but they got some for dodge for 90s models. That truck would look good with a visor

[@bermanss350]

Measure the free height of the spring against a 2nd gen spring 2 or 4wd, outside and inside diameter as well, dont be surprised if there the same but taller, put them in

[@josh474]

I put new springs in my 91 and holy shit the difference!! Waaay better

[@garyheddings6944]

Greg, I've had 3 of these 1st gen's all gassers....2 and 4 wd but these trucks always sit an 1 inch or so lower on the drivers side! Even if you replace all 4 springs they still sag to the drivers side. Add up everything.....steering column, fuel tank, the driver, and all the little odds and ends in the engine bay on the driver side and it's a couple of hundred lbs heavier to the driver side with a full tank of fuel! Love the first Ben's though!!!!

[@garyheddings6944]

First gen's.....lol

[@bobbob-wq2xb]

That cough sounds expensive bahahaha

[@itsmeagainmargret]

If you measure from the bottom side of the wheel ( where the tire bead meets the wheel ) to the bottom of the fender, It will be a more accurate measurement by taking the ground and tire out of the equation. lift spacers are listed on Ebay fyi

[@erichuntII]

It might be the rubber brake line holding pressure in the caliper I've had that happen before

[@traphousegarage1251]

Just did mine a couple months ago. Ebay, they're like $35. Works perfect.

[@cruzramirez6167]

Did you ever find out about the coil spacer? I found some on Ebay aluminum ones look like horseshoes but instead of flat they are triangular

[@brianherron5400]

Enough working on trucks, start working on the pete, it's been apart for awhile. Weston that bought the sleeper bunk off truck done painted it and installed it, now let's see you finish yours 👌

[@Dragnet2]

Looks allot better

[@jdblaster5154]

I’ve been trying to find a lift kit for my 2wd bricknose f250 do you happen to know where I could find one or if I could just use a F-150 lift?

[@thatblack6.7cummins]

ROX Fits 1984-2003 Dodge D250 2.5" Black Front Coil Spacer Lift Leveling Kit 2WD

[@rodneyswearingen1020]

Maybe the new springs were made of a slightly larger diameter material giving them a higher spring rate Greg.

[@slow_sylvs9643]

That is one minty Ram🤙🏽

[@hunteronnen5000]

Those first gens always have a little bit of lean to the driver side. Idk exactly why, but part of the reason could be gas tank location, I got an 86 w150 with a 30 gallon tank, and it had a noticeable lean to the driver side.

[@nathangibson5137]

If I remember correctly far from stock has a lift kit for the d250s

[@hswrestling97]

Try farfromstock, I think they sell front coil spacers for a d250

[@SeveredChad]

Love the sawzall clip!

[@MrTtillots]

Greg, can you go air ride? I've seen airbags built into the strut. Personal preference, that would be ideal

[@rodneyswearingen1020]

Maybe the new springs were made of a slightly larger diameter material which gives them a higher spring rate.

[@chevygang5226]

Ohhhhh gonna be a bad larrryyyyy!

[@sorensoneric83]

Greg please get yourself some impact swivel sockets

[@logansspeedshop7900]

I went through the same process on my first gen Greg. Get some 2” front coil spacers for a 99-07 Chevy 1500 and you will be set 🤘🏻

[@shawnburmania9209]

Pry Bar Garage 99-07 Chevy 1500 is a torsion bar front end. 07.5 and up is when the went to coil over in the front.

[@jamessteiger6515]

@@shawnburmania9209 hes talking about 2wd

[@shawnburmania9209]

james steiger ah that makes sense. Sorry my mind is stuck in 4wd.

[@codyknight8109]

Go on ebay you can get levelingkit/pucks. I baught 3in for my old 2wd 1st gen

[@kalebmcdaniel4806]

Personal opinion id like to see this thing replacing the 08 as a daily driver nothing too too crazy on HP numbers but good clean reliable daily around 450ish

[@timarnold4901]

Even though the springs are physically the same unloaded the load rate of the springs is where you get the ride height difference.

[@samlavalle8465]

Mcbay performance coil spacers made for our year trucks 👍 like $70 I believe

[@17madracki17]

where did you find this truck in a time capsule. my god i gotta move out of canada.

[@robroy5729]

Will this work for my 92' D350??????? You don't even want to see what the front end of mine measures!

[@justincisco3097]

Were did you get the springs from

[@streetdrive4209]

You should do a lifted build on this first gen

[@jgl255]

That would look killer if you could find a set of Mickey Thompson Big Rig's for it.

[@mattwood9981]

It might not be a bad caliper, it could be a bad rubber line going to the caliper. I had them collapse on my old second gen.

[@fishinwitheddy]

That looks like the same set up on 2nd gen 2wd I can send you one to try

[@DH-hp7nv]

I don’t know if i have missed something but why is greg still working on the ground? It’s about time for a good lift.

[@ohiodipper9877]

Hey man we need a meet up after all this crazy crap is over id forsure be down to come buy merch in person and meet u

[@jesserasso1042]

A are you gonna move back to Jersey

[@jamesdean6103]

Story of my life “just need another inch” 😂🤣

[@plukegardner1248]

If you need a front axle for your 4wd swap let me know.

[@thomastompkins2591]

Far from stock store sells 2inch rubber space isolaters

[@williamzerkel9291]

FFS has a 2 inch leveling kit

[@tylerjalbert4496]

If you count the coils from the old to new spring, old has 7 coils new has 8 that’s where you’re getting your stiffness and height from

[@MamaBear-es2sj]

my first gen and that truck has something in common they both dont have front bumpers

[@wyatteveritt778]

I purchased coil spacers for my d 250 off eBay

[@greendodge98]

Put rubber hose on the springs top and bottom

[@MIGUELGONZALEZ-nz2tu]

If you 4x4 it leave it a sleeper would be a nice sleeper with the stock wheels lol

Why dont you just take the block(if there is one) out from underneath your rear springs like all your other trucks🤔?

4wd swap baby!
