Come see the wabbit. I'll take care of you.

I have pics on my website of customer's rigs and my own under projects.

note from wabfab's page:

Now our front 5" springs are available in a heavy duty version with a 25% higher spring rate. We have added a 7th leaf and readjusted the length of the leaves to match. If you are running a larger V6 or V8 motor you will appreciate the extra weight carrying capacity of these springs. These new springs can be supplied with your kit at no additional charge. Just ask when you order. If you order online, just put it in the notes section that you wish to receive the 5" Heavy Duty option

should i get the hd springs if i oder from TG(which im most likely am). they say they'd hold up the v6 motor better(which i have), but i don't want them if their gonna be stiffer

thanks

You have more weight with the 3.0 so a lesser spring rate spring will sag more eventually once they are broken if not immediately.

I can see the HD springs as a must for a V8 weight but not necessarily for the 3.0.

Our kits are on sale to the end of the month. See my sig.

thanks...i wish i would be able to afford to buy the kit next month...but i can't, i'm planing on doing it in the spring or shortly after...hopefully no later than mid summer next year. however i am getting the axle now

jarboarder1

man how did you manage to get an axle for free?
Im looking to get one her in the CO and im having a hard time getting one forless than 350.

good luck on your swap

kylextrisler

gah jealous of these cats n their sas rigs and just as jealous of you gettin a free axle n all that, thats my summer plans as well, my friend thinks his k-5 is so raw, just wait till after this summer when i get my SAS under there bah, he'll be put to shame =P

LTrunner

the wholw free axle deal is a long story. but what it comes down to is someone owes my buddy an axle from a truck he gave him, now my buddy dosen't want the axle anymore, so i asked him if i could have it and he said yes, i just have to go get it from the guy

LTrunner

bringing this back with a question.
about how far foward should i move my steering box to avoid steering porblems?
i was thinking of using MC's kit
http://www.marlincrawler.com/htm/steering.htm

Kaleb

I didn't need to move mine. What makes you think you need to move yours?

LTrunner

i've seen some SAS on trucks like mine and they needed to be moved forward cause the steering touched when at full flex. so instead of doing the SAS then finding out it needs to be moved i'd rather just move it at first.

also this is my DD so i plan on doing it all in one weekend

While possible, idealistic. Remember the "if it can go wrong it will" theory.

Kaleb

I think that "theory" is just plain stupid. It is like saying "if it can happen it will". If anything actually can happen then it will.

In Theory, Theory and Practice are the same.
In Practice, Theory and Practice are different.

In Theory, nothing works but we know why.
In Practice it works but we don't know why.
When Theory and Practice come together,
nothing works and we don't know why.
