Thanks for the info slick!!! I installed disc'c up front but have yet to test drive my truck yet. I also had some fittment issues, I thought it might of been because I put the brackets on the wrong side. Scarebird rep told me they will work both ways depending on your pad thickness. Their directions...

I replaced my axle shaft seals recently with minimal hassle. Just removed the bolts on the flange plate and yanked the shafts out. My 8.75 is out of a 1968, without the difficult tapered shafts apperently, what year is yours out of?

currently running 225/75/15's. Not for long tho...

I see a lot of people knocking the big wheels, but personally I think they look great on a lowered swepty! jeffmcarthur's truck looks badass!!!!!! Would love to see some more pics, you got a build thread yet?

I had 2-3" between the diff tubes and frame in the front I made adjustments to my leaf pack (pulled some flipped some) and added Monroe air shocks with no air in them it would slap the fame pretty hard when aired up it would lift the truck 3/4 to 1" and rode relitively nice So no notching done, but...

Thanks for the good advice. Can you explain the benefit of the "slider/liner material between the remaining leaves"? This is new to me.

That is a good idea, but Im thinkning about going lower than I already am aswell. I was curious about using coil overs in conjunction with leaf springs, is that common? Can you put coil overs up front aswell and keep the leafs? Or is that kind of redundant and pointless?

Thanks for the advice. I have been considering and axel flip aswell. Did you have to notch your frame at all? How much clearence do you have left between the frame and axel? It is hard for me to visualize exactly how much room I will have left because I only have 2 leafs on it now. If I did the axel...

why not just remove a leaf or 2?

I saw a post a little while back about someone doing a shackle reversal on the rear of their d100. That sounds like a neat way to lower the rear. Just wondering if there is still clearence in between the bed and the springs? Looks like on my truck it would be really close. I have to do something dif...

....I realise the instructions are saying hubs from an A100 truck, by the way. Just not sure how they differ or what to look for, minus longer studs which I belive I have.

Hello fellow Mopar fans. I am a brand new member, and really excited to be one. I just discovered this website and am thrilled that there are so many other people who enjoy these old trucks like I do. I picked up a '68 utiline (thats needs work) a few weeks ago. Before putting a single mile on the t...
