16" travel rear shocks and 12" travel front shocks. after its all broken in, i have plenty of more slider slot to work with so i might be wanting to get longer shocks for it

got about 34" of air under the front tire. no binding in the sliders either, so im gonna finish welding and gusseting everything in. measured out for the front drive shaft and picked up some square tube, 1310 u-joint, and a u-bolt kit.

thats what i heard. im thinkin my open stock dana 44 can hold 37"s tops, since im only makin 165hp/180ftlbs and have 2:1 lo. i like the skinny though

WOW what a long couple days. finally got springs from the junk yard and bastarded my pack up. the main spring and mil wrap spring with the bottom 4 waggys i had. that and the slider leveled out the pre-runner rake, gave me a better pinion angle and caster, got my wheelbase to 108-9", and most of...

ive heard the only real difference in the 36x13.50x15 and 37x14x15 besides the 36 being a little bit taller, is that the 36s are more balloony and the 37s are more square ? :looser: price isnt a concern i can get em the same

yeah ill be sanding and polishing the rails and sprayin it down with some lithium

about 6 months ago i got the idea from these to replace the shackle end of my front springs: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/2151,157_Leaf-Spring-Sliders.html?itemNo=spring%20sliders but they were too short and light duty for my needs so i came up with my design that used all 1/4" plate and...

http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14603 my advice is know what youre doing before you start cutting, cause its alot of work. still not done yet, still some tuning and modifying to do

i think 108" is a fine wheelbase for now. didnt want to move the back anymore, because then id have toredo the panhard mount, upper shock hoop, and frame side upper buckets, as well as brake stuff. front will be stretched another 2" when i swap the waggy mains for toyota rear lift mains.

pretty much done. after chris and i calculated out the difference between 4.88 front gears, and 4.65 rear gears, its turned out to be less than 5% which we figured would be fine for off road only. so tuesday ill hack my transmission crossmember, and weld up my square driveshaft. untill then...

ideally yes, however, that last picture was not at ride height. ill snap some pictures of the finished truck today

got the long arms done for the rear. wb is at 108", moved it about an inch back from stock, nothing binds or rubs so far. lower links are 32" eye to eye, and uppers are 22", bushings on both ends upper crossmember lower mount overall, im very pleased with this build. it was my...

hey, can never be too sure. havent built one of these set ups til now, so ive been learning as ive gone along!

hahaha that mustve been memorial day weekend when i saw your junk on the flat bed just north of fort lewis

ugh, finally she drives. that damn spring hanger took a whole day and a couple discs as well as a 5 pack of torch blades. brakes arent as bad as i thought theyd be. chevy mc later down the road probably though. gotta weld the bumper and get it on tomorrow. cant decide whether i want the bumpers...
