What type/size of suspension lifts are you guys/gals running? any pics to share? Any problems with installations? I'm looking at a '68 W200 Crew-cab, and if I get it i think i'm going with the Skyjacker 8" with 38" SSR's (if they fit). Thanks! --Neil

I have a '66 with sky jacker 6"lift, 34" tires, Rancho shocks, power steering, Dana 44 up front with Chev open knuckles and disc's. I had a problem with alignment, specificaly the caster. The truck DOVE all over the road, very scarry!. I found it to be running in excess of -10 degrees caster. I had to move the live shackle to the rear of the spring and build a solid perch for the front effectivly rotating the axle housing into some +caster. It drives ALOT better now. If I were to do it again I would go with a 4" (want to trade or buy a 6" in the Portland, Or. area??) Bump steer is a bit of a problem but should be fixed by using a raised steering block and raised steering arm to get geometry closer.
