My plan is to start making some progress on the TA in the spring.. I'll keep posting videos as I make headway on it

@@330_garage3 sounds awesome dude I can't wait to see you're next video

Thanks, that explains a lot. That flex-o-matic mechanism is close to the bed floor now, I'm not sure you could move it up much more without having to cut the bed floor brace.

@@330_garage3 The flex o matic seems to ride better than the std spring. Neither haul much weight. But if your looking to go down more about the only options are an axle flip and c-notch or 4-link it. There is also a kit out there to install late model T-Bird IRS if you want to get real fancy.

I just looked at my 71. It has the flexomatic. The top of the spring is directly below the bed. It's not going anywhere. That could be why the front mount has 2 sets of holes. I bet the top hole is 8" lower than stock, giving you the 4" rear axle drop. Thanks much for the pinion angle shims. I never thought of that.

I thought I had listed it in the description... but just in case. DJM Suspension Shackle and Hanger Kits HS1130-4

330_Garage you probably did I just didn’t look lol thankyou very much

I like the result doesn't seem like you going for a x treme drop or you would had put the axle on top of the springs that would had been about 4" right there , the shackles worked really well though . I have a 250 as well DJM doesn't really list any parts for bumpside 250"s I called them once they said they made them at one time but they just sat on the shelf . I don't see why those shackles would not fit a F250 unless the front hanger is different bolt pattern or something . I would rather use the kit with shims instead of putting my axle on top of the springs

That’s exactly what I was thinking I believe in my lmc catalog the factory hanger for f100 and f250 are the same so the djm would have to be the same if that’s the case.. just a much better cleaner look then flipping the axle... unless you do both! Lol

@@gabeguedea2499 There's 250 kits but I seen 1 for 600 bucks ,m? I'm like ???? They use a metal u shape thing with your original perch so you don't need to cut your old one off it fits underneath can buy that or make it for 50 bucks , then find the 7/8 standard 250 or 1 1/8 drop beams usually 3" add a front spring from a 91-94 explorer that be 4-5" drop in front

no the way he's doing it works fine

@@mrb2917 Measuring this way give you *independent* angle(s) of the transmission and pinion, it does not give you the relationship between the pinion and the transmission. The transmission could be perfectly level with the pinion. Doing it this way does not give you pitch or yaw....

You have to cut/shorten the frame and also cut/shorten the bed itself so they match.

yeah or a gooseneck plate at one time. They didn't want it coming off, thats for sure haha

he cut a front spring and did an axle flip in the rear. just a different way of going about it.

Short bed is way more desirable n then long bed and lower trucks look better .

Nah
