    5/6 static dropped dually, complete.... sorta

    Thank you. I am very happy with it. I kept the stock rotors for now. I seem to have really good brakes and my boat trailer is a double axle with surge brakes on both axles, so when towing it brakes great as well. I do not know how much heavier the set up is. I would only be guessing. The...

    5/6 static dropped dually, complete.... sorta

    Thanks guys. I am pumped on how it turned out. I really thought I was going to be pulling the rear leafs out at least once to add/subtract a leaf to get the rear height exact, but I gotta say that I got it right the first time, not because of any skill, just flat out luck. I do not have a build...

    thanks for the picture. that is exactly what I was thinking I need to do. One question, did your truck drop any lower after you notched it? As you can see in the picture I am about level, I love exactly how it sits right now. thanks again for your reply

    4" hangers and shackles... leafs touch bed...

    You can see that the top leaf spring touches the bottom of the bed just barely. I did 4" hangers and shackles from Western Chassis, removed 4 leafs, which got me about 6" in the rear, replaced the shock with the WC drop shock. I expected the rear end to be a lot softer than when it was stock as...

    Helper bags DO NOT FIT :(

    Hi guys, I had a thread a couple weeks ago that I was going to add helper bags in the rear of my c30 dually on a compressor. Well I got the Firestone Ride Rite double convoluted bags and they do not fit. I will post pictures on sunday/monday of my set up, I do not have pictures now. I static...

    Wanting to add a couple 6x9s to my truck...need help on enclosure

    Do you have the factory 4 x 10's mounts in the rear corners? If so, you can cut the opening to be 5 x 10 (or bigger) and they will hold a standard 6x9 (as well as a baffle to help seal it). You can mount them in the same factory spot, or close to it. The factory location seems to fire them...

    Silly Question about gas pedal

    I have a TBI 89 so it may not be applicable, but i also had a really stiff pedal, especially the first inch or two. I did what everyone told me to do and lube it and then replace it. Lubing it didn't work, so I replaced it with aftermarket from LMC. Bad mistake. It was stiff and jerky and got so...

    Helper bags on compressor C30 dually

    Great. Thank you for your help. I ordered a double con firestone kit ($300 shipped new) and I am going to see how this works for me. From my rough measurements they will fit just fine. Thank you.

    Helper bags on compressor C30 dually

    I am seeing this kit a lot, looks fairly universal. This one in particular fits the square body c30s.... http://www.truckspring.com/products/Firestone-Ride-Rite-Air-Spring-Kit-Ford-Bronco-F-100-F-150-F-250-Chevy-C-Series-Rear__2071.aspx I cannot find specs on deflated height and inflated...

    Helper bags on compressor C30 dually

    thanks man, this is really good information. As far as measurements go. I need to measure the gap between my axle or top leaf pack (depending on which one i mount to) and the mounting area I will use on my frame? Lets say this is 9 inches. Then I know that a double convolute bag that is 6"...

    Helper bags on compressor C30 dually

    I have seen some firestone bags for pretty good prices. I just do not know what I am doing. I do not know what measurements I need to take or when looking at bags, which bags will work and not work. some are saying to use big bags, like the ones used for full bag suspension, instead of the...

    Which trucks does this trim belong to?

    Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Yeah when looking for parts I usually search for 1986 c30's, or if it is for engine parts I say its a 91 3500.. can be frustrating.

    Helper bags on compressor C30 dually

    I have been searching for hours trying to get some answers but I just can't find them. I want helper bags on a compressor for the few times I tow a year (5000 lbs boat with 300 - 400 lbs tongue weight). I removed a few springs from the rear pack and did the 4" shackle and hanger kit, guessing...

    Square Dually Complete Stereo build....

    Thanks man, I just may do this.. call up arc audio and have them help me through the phone. As for the whining, that would bother me so much, so it may be worth it to take it out and send it in.

    Square Dually Complete Stereo build....

    Yeah there are a few options out there and I can't answer your question yet as my brake is detached because my rear end is off the truck, but I bought these from this forum based on all the reviews and advice. I think you have to adjust your parking brake properly so there is little to no slop...

    Thanks guys, it was a very fun project. Brewster that looks good. We have the same speakers :D So I was able to fire it up today. I preset the amps a little bit as they came from the factory zero'd out. I really do not know what I am doing, just a little experience from playing with my boat...

    Square Dually Complete Stereo build....

    Here are the 6.5's installed in the kicker panel. I plan on completely redoing the interior, changing the color to grey/charcoal, so that is why I carpeted the box in that color. And when I do that the kick panels will be painted grey as well. The interior is in really great shape though, so my...

    Final product. I have a few clips I ordered that will help with the routing of the 4 gauge power and grounds, as well as the components and speaker wires to make them a little bit more neat.
