i was wonderin about trussin my rear axel but all ive found is downeys over the top truss that wouldnt work because of the stock link setup. any ideas?

85excab thats gonna be an awesome truck. i vote 22re with lce turbo! i had chevys on my 2wd pu in my avatar pic. they worked great saved some money by not using deavers

 

You could do some bracing in between the stock stuff. what i think you really should do is what TC did with his triangulated 4 link. that is what i want to do instead of doing leafs. He trussed his axle but he also changed the entire rear suspension.

installed a set of torsion sockets all guesseted up. just plated them on both sides for strength. got some bump and droop pics too.





rear suspension... cycles almost 9 inches

 

what valving do you have in the shocks?

 

This is now my new wall paper on the house PC. "Demon Flying".

That's just dirty!!! Looks like a Toyota about to feast on Jeeps. Hell that rig almost screams "WHAT!? What the F are you looking at!? You think that "trail rated" badge makes you a wheeler!!????" You're done!!!!!!" *munch*.

 

hahaha, i love the comments junkers lol. it does look like its getting ready to attack!

 

hahaha ya you guys are right!!!!

 

Haha, that last picture look like the yota is about to pounce on its jeep prey

 

4.88s!!!!! did the rear yesterday.... took the front out today prob get it to the shop tuesday. i think it looks good without the 4wd. that stuff weighs a lot too. contemplating leavin it out for the summer. i do wanna get a few trips to the rubicon in though. decisions decisions. also thinkin about doin the clutch while the 4wds out as well. idk if i want that project right now though.... anyway pics

 

OH MAN!! Nice work and nice pictures! x million on the jump photo

 

i cant wait, im putting my TC uniball kit on next week. i just need to find a good deal on some coilovers now.

 

man, i've gotta check out your rig sometime. that setup is sweet, especially with the KM2s - they look mighty savage with the kit. i think those will be my next tire. how wide is the front compared to the rear? as for putting in your new gears, do it asap man. the front is a bitch, i know because i just did mine by myself in the driveway and it was not fun. even took out the studs and had to use 2 jacks and it was a pain, yours is even higher up off the ground so good luck man.

 

Im addicted to that Arizona tea crap!! Just started showing up here a few months ago, 99c a can.. Yum

 

ya deffinatley. the km2s are sweeet. they worked so well in the snow my buddy with the old mud terrains had that same size tire as me just his were a little wider and i was goin places he couldnt even dream of. lol the front is only about 2 inches wider right now cause i got 2 inch spacers on the rear axel. getting it out was a pain on that front axel i think gettin it back in there is gonna be worse!

ya at 99c a can on thoes arizonas you cant go wrong.

probably gonna get some new aluminum wheels installed today as well 15x8 from craigslist 100 bucks. i put some pics up if i do

 

oh ya robert m send me a link or some pics when you do that uniball install

 

Check out FOA coil overs http://f-o-a.com/
That what I run and they're awesome


and I have to agree on the awesomeness of that jump shot it's ridiculously awesome.

 

i have been looking at FOAs for a while but i have seen alot of people who have had problems with them leaking and going through seals pretty quick but there customer service is supposed to be top notch. you had any problems with yours?

 

No problems at all, they've been really excellent, no leaks that I've noticed and I beat on my truck all the time. I haven't dealt with customer so I can't really comment on that.

 

just about done. i got a few odds and ends to finish up, bleed the brakes, finalize the torsions, alignment, but all the hard works is done, i didnt get any pics of the installation because my girlfriend took the camera that day. and i forgot to take one of it sitting at ride hight but i will do that tomorrow.

 

nice work looks good. that must be the ball joint kit without the spindles. youll have tons of fun with that truck its so light and handles so well... i had the uniball spindle kit on a 91 way fun till i rolled it! thats my avatar picture. what kind of torsions are you usin?
