so please somebody chime in wabfab im looking right at you or even run4her big help guys thanks a milllion

 

and bigT thanks man and im likeing the way shes all coming together


i painted my ifs front diff this green too but its colored in mud cant see it so i hope this is way better!!!

 

Endlink mounts - cut off.
Big tower mount on the top that you didn't paint - cut off.
Mount on the front of the axle (on the fill plug side) - cut off.

You want to leave the spring perches, steering stops and possibly the shock mounts. Everything else gets cut off.

If you are adding knuckle ball braces you'll need to cut off the shock mounts and add new ones.

Take some old Grade 8 bolts, cut them to fit in the steering stops, jam them in there and then cap them top and bottom.

 

Add those while you can. I didn't and it woulda been so worth it when I could have (Though I will now) Your stearing will put that axle through hell so any bracing you can get will help. If the Wabbit sells it, get it from him. If not get it from Front Range off Road (IMHO) .

And beef up that steering too!!!! Ask me how I almost died before I did that one! http://frontrangeoffroadfab.com/nfos...7f2b1e75bc14f3

 

i dont think im going to be needing the frame steering setup as i have a 87 frame still and as far as i know i dont think i have crumble zones on it so do you think ill be ok with out them???

and thanks alot for the info on the ball thingys im so getting them!!



wabfab thanks a million buddy i knew you would let me know what im getting i think on monday or so im goin gto be cutting everything off yay!!!

and its only time now till i order your kit wabfab thanks alot everyone and yes i will be posting pictures of me cutting and grinding and a lil more paint wooo whooooooooooooo





SAS ME BABY!!

 

and molly i heard about that but i dont know a whole lot of what happened other then it was a really bad roll over somewhere sorry to hear that hun good thing your ok

 

I would definitely gusset those knuckle balls..... If you need help I have some good ideas..

and you can also trim the lower part of the spring perch on the passenger side like this>>> There are "tabs" left to hold the u-bolts in place.....

so it slides over rocks instead of catching...

 

thanks dirtboy but do you have a farther out picture of that think so i can get a little bit better picture of what you did thanks and im cutting everything off tomorrow guys more poictures on the way
