Well last week I rallied the troops and made alot of progress. You know when the guy that volunteered to help you wiht the welding shows up with this you are in for a good time
Here are a couple of pics of the front suspension and steering.
Things went pretty smooth.
The things that caught me off gaurd were:
- How long it would take to cut a hole in order to move the steering box far enough forward.
- How long it would take to drill holes in frame for steering box reinforcing plates. I went with the Front Range Off Road kit. NOTE: it did require me to drill out the mounting holes in the steering box to accomodate their slightly larger bolts.
I still have a few clean-up items like reconnecting the power steering hoses as well as the brake lines.
I totally forgot I need to order wheel spacers since I'm using the rims from my IFS truck that have a 4.25 BS.
I'm guessing I will need to go with a 2" spacer
In the coming weeks I will be tearing out the rear end.
