so 3minutes after getting to the spot tonight i was stuck with my truck halfway tipped over with my front drivers tire in a dip that made a lake under my seat/by the pedals.

i need to do this shit during the day. cant do pics at night lol

 

Spotted a lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee last night on 264...looked purple but may have been black, it was dark. Probably 33x12 tires, plate was "TRL R8TD" or something really similar, and it looked fucking legit.

 

no quite as big as youre going jb, but its deff an improvement.
76 bronco d44, 99-03 superduty tie rods, 92-97 1 ton passenger tie rod into custom draglink. custon trac bar i wont use



plans: jd trac bar and mount, 513s, spool.

 

Going to pick up my new to me 99 Powerstroke tonight. Looked at it and drove it Friday evening and its everything I wanted and the price is VERY good. I'll post some pics this weekend.

 

I thought about going dana 44 on my yellow TJ when I build it. Haven't decided yet. I'm waiting to see how I like the 1ton Black Jeep on the road........I'd like to keep one I can jump in, take the top down and ride with the family. I have a dana 70 rear for it already..........but again a future project years from now.

 

How high of a lift you going with that radius arm setup they tend to screw up the pinion angle the higher you go - James Duff has some kickass radius arm setups if you're looking for an easier (but $$$) upgrade on the lifting of that axle - his arms also get rid of those weak bushing frame mounts with HD rod ends

I'm hoping he cuts that radius crap off and either links the front end of puts leafs in. But thats just what I'd do.

 

5.5" eb springs. for about 8-9"
im not gonna do the heims, trying to keep the money down. its $1500 for everything needed for a duff kit.

im gonna put the axle in and see how bad it is. cut and turn the wedgies and inner Cs as needed.

 

this is someone with the same 76 bronco axle, 5.5" springs(8 for the exploder), 79-79 bronco ra mounts and using 7* wedgie bushings

 

Looks like it's be a lot cheaper to find junkyard leafs, get some hangers and weld it up. Also I'd run a wide offset because Exploders look dumb with out a wide stance I think.
