I was telling you to use a floor jack to help you with the spring installation. I also was suggesting using traction bars (akin to the ones we used on drag race cars) on the rear springs. But you couldn't hear me. LOL
Got to say it louder! I actually might build ladder bars if it has bad wheel hop. My '95 F250 has wicked axle hop if I get it stuck and need to spin alot to get out.
Hey, where is that quickie worker to help today while you are all greased up!! Fun to watch you 'work'... Keep on truckin' 🙂 Its a Wonderful Life at the Quick Speed Shop!!!
Thanks for sharing this awesome build with us, Josh! That sure looks like a LOT of heavy-duty stuff happening at the Quick Speed Shop! Be sure to keep a set of rims without tires, or 4 space-saver spares on hand to slap on that monster when you're ready to slip it out that garage door! 'Just saying! Enjoy! Be safe! Bro Harry
If it's one thing I have an abundance of its extra wheels and tires. Counting wheels on on my vehicles I bet I have close to 200 wheels all together...just enough!
That’s a great spring kit company that’s reasonably priced. …..Rough Country 4” is what I bought for my Dodge. I did have to locate longer studs for the 3/4T front axle mounting pads. I think they were 9/16” size studs that need to be about 5”-6” in length. Tough to find them in grade 8.
Do you remember by any chance the part number for the frame bushings for the front? Or where you got them. I'm about to start working on my D44 front axle/leaf springs.
Is there any reason this would not work on the D250? On the website it says it is only compatible with the W250 but I don’t see any reason these wouldn’t be fine to run on a D250 chassis as they are the same. I have bags in the rear I to make up for any weight I might have to tow and am planning on getting bags in the front but the most I tow with the truck is my quad to the dunes lol.
@@QuickSpeedShop I have a 1991.5 single cab long bed 4x4. It has a Dana 70 axle in the rear and a Dana 60 up front. From what I’m seeing most of the D250’s came in RWD while I was doing my research, maybe I got a rare model?
D designates 2WD trucks while the W is 4x4. As far as I know it's always been that way. The door jam data plate or sticker will tell you exactly what the truck is.
Enjoying the build! If the springs seem too tall, know that they will settle 1/2" to a full inch after you drive on them for a week or three.
Yeah, I know it'll settle out some when all the weight goes on. It will still be pretty tall though!
On my 3/4T Dodge ,I installed new rear spring shackles bolts. Again, 9/16” Grade 8. Since they were bolts, they were way easier to find & purchase.
Love your channel great build
Thanks! 💯💯

All the help was home for Christmas!
Lubricant Doc use lots of lubricant. Awesome video I'm getting excite to see her on wheels. Thanks for this video.
Never have too much lube. That's what she said!
Very good video. I liked the axles angle explanation. Thanks.
Your making good progress!

I bought the whole lift kit and it came with the longer studs, u bolts, and shocks.
You’ll have a fine truck once you’re finished.
I hope so!
Nice work.
👍
That's a spud wrench you were using to line up things on the front end.
They work great for stuff like this.
@@QuickSpeedShop Yes they do!

The leaf spring bushings? They came with the Rough Country lift
@@QuickSpeedShop No, the one on the frame.
I'm pretty sure I bought them on RockAuto
@QuickSpeedShop Thanks! For the life of me I can't find them
They're in the body section. They're Energy Suspension

What year D250? I thought those all had coil springs and a-arms in the front?

Will 90s model ram 1500 leaf spring hangers fit a first gen dodge.
I don't know, but you can buy the correct hangers. I replaced them on this frame
