4.70s ordered today!

Bugzman

Got the package on Monday and had my case in the garage by Tuesday night. I might have been a little excited.

all in all this was was simpler then i thought it would be. I didnt even need a press. took me about 6 hours to get it done.




I just noticed that i didn't take any pictures of the reduction gears. oh well.

im taking memorial day weekend off and going out to a near by desert here In California ( Anza Borrego) and ill see how that work out on the trail but as for just in general. man they are low! i cant imagine dual 4.70s

Bugzman

Nice!!! I've always wanted to do that run. How did the new springs and the t-case gears work out?

Bugzman

amazing!, i had a much better ride then my best friends 85 and the gears were great for the hill climbs. I stuck in 4th gear most of the time for the easy stuff that hard stuff just dropped to 2nd. I never missed my 2.28's

Bugzman

the start of my RUF project. I havnt spent any money yet ( thanks to Windedwalrus) and im trying to do as much as i can with the little money i have. this is what i got so far.

spring pack made


front spring hanger


I need high steer and hardware and I should be able to get this puppy done.

hrt4me

nice job on the custom fabbed rear bumper

Bugzman

so I did it, 2 full days of work and now its driving.
stock setup


striped the frame completely all brackets gone


new srpings and front hanger tacked on.
my spring pack is this
86' main leaf
86' mill rap
86' 3rd leaf
85' mil rap cut down
85' 3rd leaf back half with new hole drilled
85' 3rd leaf front half. new hole drilled.



axle cleaned up and re installed plus hi steer.


just for fun






had only one real set back. they sent me 2 different shocks. so i waiting for the right one to be shipped to me . but this is how she rides with the back not done yet.

things still to do.
shackles for the rear.
paint
square drive shaft

Bugzman

moved the shackle hanger back and made a 5 inch shackle.


square front drive line.



took it out this weekend to big bear Ca and ran 3 trails to test everything out.
Holcomb valley
John Bull
Gold Mountain




everything held up. never got stuck. but i did find out issue my drive side spring would hit the steering arm when i was stuffing. I guess it need a different drop arm. anyone know what the drop is on a standard arm the comes with the high steer kit?
