Master-O-Turbonics Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Oops... wrong picture... 720 4x4 spring mounted with monkey's crazy cheapo lift shackles... Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Thanks for the help man! We got that done so quick that it was crazy. lol I hope you get some good use out of those leafs on the 521/720 hybrid I still have another 2 inches I can drop them using the shackles. This would be EASY to slam. lol Quote Link to comment
jon521 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 lookin good! i wonder if 720 4x4 springs would fit a 521..... Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 lookin good! i wonder if 720 4x4 springs would fit a 521..... yes, they surely will... 521, 620, 720, and i think even the d21 used the same length leaf.. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I thought the d21 was a little different. Can't remember. I think Fastdadd used d21 springs and had to drill a hole or some shit. Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 the cenetr pin does not line up and i made my own lowering blcks out of a piece of aluminium and had to drill the hole at different spots top and bottom Quote Link to comment
jon521 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 yes, they surely will... 521, 620, 720, and i think even the d21 used the same length leaf.. (trying not to thread-jack) im thinking about going with 720 4x4 springs or pulling a leaf or 2 Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Started with suspension work again! Front shocks went on today, rear shocks tomorrow. The fronts were absolutely blown out. I also scrubbed the fender wells clean and sprayed them with some cheap undercoating. Quote Link to comment
hacked521 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 looking good, probably rides a lot better having actual shocks on the front end. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Monkey forgot to tighten his lug nuts again. 2 Quote Link to comment
Master-O-Turbonics Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Get those good shackles under there boy! 1 Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 lolol^^^^^ I was doing brake work. Got new shit all around the rear. New shocks too. The old rear passenger shock was so blown out that I could collapse it by hand and it wouldn't come back out :rofl: so much better now! Anyways, thanks to Hitch, I now have a long tube header! Gonna ditch the straight pipe and go with a Summit Racing resonator. Maybe a glass pack on top depending on the volume. 1 Quote Link to comment

Looking good ... geese gotta love the paint scheme on this truck I would run both on exhaust, and get a sweet tone! If still too loud ... just stick muffler on at end lol I'm jelly u have a summit racing store near you ... That's scary. lol I'm having a new exhaust bent soon after taxes, so a resonator and glasspack are in the running! If you ever need anything from Summit that you don't feel like ordering, let me know! I feel like this thread needs updating... I'm lowering the truck more soon. Haven't yet because the tires are too 'bubbly' and won't fit. Also now sporting EI and some new stuffs soon! Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys!! ahhhh i want your camera, i miss my schools nikon d80. pictures and truck look great! i especially like that third pic, front end looks killer. Get one man! They aren't too bad. Mine was only $730 something with taxes. truck looks great. can't wait to see it. Last time was when we were on the side of peachtree industrial before the meet haha Thanks dude. I'm glad you showed up, lol that got me a good laugh. I had no idea you broke down up the road. Total stress reliever. I'm getting new wheels tonight hopefully, so I'll have new shoes for Penske to run on! Edited January 23, 2012 by metalmonkey47 Quote Link to comment
Siempreloco Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I wonder if that L20 has more pep than my rebuilt bored l16 with a weber? then again you have a weber... you probably have me by a bit...but i picked up my truck right down near you, i should have told you when I was coming! Haha, it looks good though man. Question: why the 720 springs over just some blocks? Quote Link to comment

Gonna ditch the straight pipe and go with a Summit Racing resonator. Maybe a glass pack on top depending on the volume. I had a Hooker Header on my 74 with a L20B. It was just like that one and man it hung down too far and smacked the pavment alot. I'm now going to use a Robello Racing 510 header. The collector stops at bottom of block next to lower tranny mount and I'll be able to tuck exhaust better. Quote Link to comment
