what a difference.

looks like you get rubbing with the 37's from those pics, how bad is the rubbing.

 

kinda looks like your axle needs to be moved forward an inch or so

 

yea thats what i was thinkin. may just be the way the pic was took tho. man she looks good. you get my vote for gettin straight to business. no beatin around the bush in this thread!!!

 

Yessir, nicely done... would love to see some wheelin and flex pics though!!

 

well in the pic his wheels are turned making them closer to the cab, its probs fine but i bet it does rub there a bit.

 

It did but I hacked the fenders a little bit and beat back the pinch welds no rubbing at all at full stuff and it only rubbed when my wheels were straight in the first place was weird and it wheeled amazingly but I'm Gunna move my axle forward some not much tho maybe half an inch well the hanger half an inch forward my shackle angle should be fine and that way if I ever go bigger it'll stuff easir

 

Very Nice! Any estimate on your labor hours and the cost for parts and materials. When you got fed up with that old Rancho kit fiasco, you weren't messing around. Good job!

 

hours about 3 weekend because i had to rely on some one else to weld if i could weld i could of done it in 3 days at 8 hour days parts was 1800 all together including the axle then another 1000 for the tires but thats not important

 

im surprised, you did not post up the pics of the front hanger damage from that buggy pulling you out. After seeing the pics, I would be pissed at the buggy for pulling so damned hard, when it was not needed.

 

agreed^^

how much did all the sas cost you vance?

 

post 88??

 

$1800 is fairly reasonable for all that you got! Considering you are not set up for welding "in house" three weekends is great progress. Yeah cost of tires doesn't count here, but for those huge meats sounds like a deal to me! What are your plans for gears and lockers? Doubler Transfer case in the future plans?

 

Nice Vance! You can move your axle forward on the perches, 1" is about the furthest i'd go. Thats how mine is setup since im runnin the TG 3" ..can only go so far with the shorter springs. Works great .. just time consuming since u gotta drill the perches and the top plates.

but free =) You MAY run into problems with the steering arms hitting but i have room to spare still before they contact.

 

I didnt read thru the whole thread so not sure what this is in reply to.

Just gonna mention when you pull the chunk as aw hole piece like that, which will include the birf and inner axle.. Be aware getting the deal back ON to the axle housing (ie inserting the axle) can be a major PITA. Just a heads up. Just make sure you gots lots of patience stored up before attempting that =)

 

Front hanger damage:

 

Oh yea and got some new 10 inch wheels today

 

vance. dude. i cant get over how badass your truck looks with your lift and tire combo just looks perfect. im wondering why you arent running mud flaps or fender flairs? dont you have cops around there? lol

 

DUDE, that front hangar carnage is terrible LoL I take it you only welded along the front and not where the hangar is on the frame rails? =)

 

i did the front and the side by the gussets im gunna weld plates to the back this time

 

surprised you haven't posted more pictures of this. lol not excited to show it off much?
