I just finished the first part of my disco project.

full RTE lift (springs/F&R links/shocks/brake lines) with 33x10.50R15 swampers
and 15x8 steelies w/4.5 inch backspacing

Looks really nice. About the same as I want to do with mine(when I get some $ :rolleyes: ) I bet it runs down the road nice and straight with those front arms. Any vibrations? Did you do the install, if so how long did it take?
I love seeing those Tn. hills. I used to wheel in Sommertown many years ago.

haha yes Ive traveled all around the country and i must say that east tennessee/western NC is the most beautiful place by far...my opinion though.

anyways....yes i did all the install myself. it was me and a buddy in a gravel parking spot with no air tools and basicly learning as we go............roughly 11 hours. not all at once either...it took three days since i work during the day.

the rear links changed the angle of my pinion so i haven't had any vibe from the rotoflex. BUT i know what your going to say....so im going to convert it over soon.

i removed the sways front and rear and it still handles great. much better then the old stock shape it was in.

i did some speed test in a empty parking lot. doing donuts and driving fast and braking....that kinda stuff. i can only feel a different with im above 55 mph and i change lanes fast. but thats really nothing!

all in all im very happy with the results and give thanks to the guys at rovertym for building a great product.

Nice rig! Did you relocate the steering damper? Rovertracks has a killer kit with a bulletproof tierod. Where did you get the radius arms?

i love the stocker look with lift and tires and the snorcle. once you add a hideous winch bumper it turns it all redneck to me.

if been rolling with 3" lift and 235/85 and i cant bring myself to ugly up the truck with a rack or bumper.
