Thank you much, it definitely was an undertaking but debatably the best thing I’ve done to the truck for under $200Yowza! That sound deadner job looks great! I didn't think about it till after I put the carpet and seats back in mine.
what type 14 bolt did you put in? care to elaborate on the modification, looking at the frame specs the only ones I could find that didnt taper in where the 3500s with >10000 gvw which have straight frame past the cab. I little confused on if this was necessary. Im assuming the circled in red area is the spacer.Frame modification were necessary though. In the rear, an inch and a half was added between the leaf spring mounts and the frame. This was necessary bc the frame narrows on the 2 doors in the rear, so the perches are angled on the 10 bolt that was in it, but not on the 14 bolt we put in.
Yes 3 pieces of 1/2” plate. It’s out of an 05 2500. The frame on mine narrows (I believe to accommodate the fuel tank and make the 30 a snug fit). When I played the diffs next to each other I noticed the perches on the 14 bolt were perpendicular while the stock 10 bolts were angled in towards the rear. I opted to drill out rivets and move mounting point out until the leaf springs lined up. Because of the difference in shock mounting and overall size, I had to go with 3 inch lift shocks despite an2 inch drop shackle. In retrospect it would be more suitable for a lifted application but at gave me track width, 8 lugs, and disc brakes.what type 14 bolt did you put in? care to elaborate on the modification, looking at the frame specs the only ones I could find that didnt taper in where the 3500s with >10000 gvw which have straight frame past the cab.
