I checked things out it looks like the upper steering rod will contact the cross rod so I think I need to move my steering box forward a hair so it will clear.

 

mice ride, its totally transformed, enjoyed reading from beggining to end!

 

wow, very nicely done man! although i wish you woulda kept working with the IFS. half the fun for me is trying to come up with ideas for IFS, but your truck your build. and it's almost snow wheeling season!!!

 

Yeah but can IFS has it's limitations....

 

I got the 85 front D/S but it turns out it is way too short. Right now I need a front Driveshaft that is 29 1/4" long for the front.
I have a spare rear driveshaft that I will be using as parts to make the current one longer.

 

I played around a little last night took a few pics





Right now shock compression is preventing the springs from traveling any further on the passengers side.
I will have to address what I am going to do on this with either different shocks or moving the mount.
Right now it's as high as I could place it without cutting the wheel well..
I am running rancho 5012's but I might have to get a shorter shock for my setup.



The rear springs don't flex nearly as well as the front.
So I might goto chevy rear springs. The rear springs are some procomp 4" springs.

 

Well I got the front D/S back from my buddy he tried his best but it is out of round and has a big wobble to it...
I guess I am going to have it re-tubed professionally....

 

time for a front bumper now

 

Beautiful Runner!! Great work. One of my favorite builds/trucks on yotatech!!
