    Looking good! I wish I had your motivation to work on my 94.

    96 centurion 2500 turbo diesel 4x4 standerd bed

    I didn't see any single cabs. Maybe someone who worked there had it built, just an idea. If you carfax it maybe it would show the first state it was registered in.

    96 centurion 2500 turbo diesel 4x4 standerd bed

    I'm glad you made to Texas and hope things continue to work out for you! I like the truck and I am very familiar with Centurion, i used to make deliveries there almost daily (Indiana). I would walk through the plant and see all the trucks and vans on the lines. I would love to get a 4 door 1/2...

    Kudos to you for sticking with it! You do good work and I'm looking forward to seeing it all together.

    33x13.50x15 swampers

    I think it would look pretty good. Also I think Swamper makes some 34" LTB's that might work for you.

    Torsion turns, keys and Rough Country 2-3" lift

    Well I'm sorry it bothers some of you so much that I'm happy with my lift. I said up front I would let you know if I didn't like it but so far I do.

    I'm not sure if you're blind or just being argumentative but his aren't folded over, he put them on wrong.

    Torsion turns, keys and Rough Country 2-3" lift

    Yeah I'm happy with my kit too. I got the lift height I wanted without having to do a bodylift, it drives better than a crank and my front tires aren't going to be wearing on the outsides like just a crank would do. I haven't noticed any noises from the shock extenders yet. It's funny, most of...

    Loud whine, brand new fuel pump.

    I just bought a truck that had a new fuel pump (cheapie) installed a few days before. It was really loud after running for awhile and would get louder the longer it ran and the hotter it was outside. It was so loud sometimes I could hear it inside the cab while driving down the road. At first...

    3/4 leaf springs on a 1/2 ton truck

    I would use your main leaves and just add the extra leaves from the 3/4T packs or the 3/4T spring packs minus the mains so you don't have to try to get the spring bolts out because they can be a huge pain. It is recommended to use new u-bolts because they stretch every time they are tightened...

    I'm Gonna Burn It So It Can Go to Hell Where it Belongs

    It sounds more like an alternator problem to me.

    Torsion turns, keys and Rough Country 2-3" lift

    I thought the new upper control arms would correct the tire lean. It hasn't been aligned yet, I still need to get that done. Your tie rod angles will probably be better than mine.

    Torsion turns, keys and Rough Country 2-3" lift

    It looks like with the kit I don't have this \ / problem with my front tires that you get with cranking your bars. That alone is worth it to me.

    Right on. Here are a couple more pics. The first one is another view of the shock brackets and the second is a pic of the angles. angles.

    Torsion turns, keys and Rough Country 2-3" lift

    How much lift do you have? What size are your tires? I'm putting the 285's from the plow truck on some 99+ factory rims on it for now. I hope they are at least an inch taller than these.

    Looks great!

    Torsion turns, keys and Rough Country 2-3" lift

    Front: 24 5/8" Rear: 25" Front: 38 1/2" Rear: 39 1/4" The tires are 32x11.50R15 but they only measure 29 1/2" tall.

    Torsion turns, keys and Rough Country 2-3" lift

    Yeah that would've been a good idea, I wish I would have thought of that. I do have a pic that I took before I took it to the shop to be lifted. Before After

    Nice! bookmarked for future reference.

    Torsion turns, keys and Rough Country 2-3" lift

    Or are you saying the shocks they send with the kit are shorter than the factory shocks? I guess it doesn't really matter since the brackets don't rub or hurt anything.
  22. Rusty Silence

    Torsion turns, keys and Rough Country 2-3" lift

    Right I agree with what you said about the stiffness of the ride. I still disagree about the shock brackets though because it looks to me like they wouldn't bolt into the original holes now. Here is a pic of what I'm talking about. Plus why would I need longer shocks on an IFS if all I did was...

    Torsion turns, keys and Rough Country 2-3" lift

    So I paid $150 more than you for better CV and upper balljoint angles and maybe less tire wear plus I don't max out the suspension on every big bump and my frame isn't hanging down really far under my truck, I think I did pretty good. The extra $350 was to have someone else do the work for me...

    Torsion turns, keys and Rough Country 2-3" lift

    I'm happy with the lift, it fit my needs and was what I was looking for. Here is what the shock extension should look like.

    3/4 leaf springs on a 1/2 ton truck

    I had used springs put under mine, new spring packs might give you more lift. If you want stock height but more weight capacity overload springs might be what you want.
