One more time.... The 235-55's are @ all 4 corners. If you wouldn't mind verifying, what size are the inner rears?

Shackle & hanger combo's typically yield 4" of drop. Removing the helper leaf is prob 1" or less.

When I measured my CC dually for the flip kit it would have left me w/about 1" between the axle tube & the bottom of the frame & a similar amount between the top of the differential (Dana 70HD) & the bed floor.

Clunker.... What the stats on your build (drop, wheel/tire sizes, mods, etc...)?

No 2 trucks are exactly the same. Knowing there's possible differences & w/o looking @ your exact set-up I'm only answering based on what my truck indicated.

Based on mine, shackle & hangers would work w/a air over leaf helper & stock frame rails for sure. With a flip kit, notching the frame would have been mandatory. But if that was done, towing wouldn't have been an issue since nothing was changed other than the flip.

TheChief · 12-18-2013, 02:26 PM

gotcha, thanks for the fast responce

Looking for a clean low mileage 73-87 single cab dually 2wd. I'm located in California but if the truck is right I will buy anywhere in the US. Must be clean, real clean.

This thread is full of great looking trucks, and this is a cool site. Glad to be here.

SCOTI · 12-18-2013, 11:40 PM

Very nice Clunker!

LOW1TON · 12-19-2013, 06:15 PM

Nice setup clunker! thats going to be a very cool truck. I like the fact you are running a taller tire in the front and rear than are usually ran. keep the pictures and progress coming.

Don SC · 12-19-2013, 10:17 PM

Man. That framework and suspension is totally awesome Clunker. Thanks for sharing!

TheChief · 12-23-2013, 04:00 PM

Sorry, not on here much. Pretty sure the inners may be stock wheels. I will look when I get home for you. Sorry for the delayed response.

Also my truck has the stock 4.10 gear and at 65mph she is screaming. Should I go with a 3.73 or 3.42? Makes the truck not enjoyable to drive if you have to avoid interstates. lol

cochino12 · 01-11-2014, 09:17 AM

I just bought this on CL a few days ago to flip, if it doesn't sell in a couple weeks its may get DD duty for me.
