So I mounted the tires up today and the stock wheels won't work on the rear I had one wheel here that worked hoping the wheel coming from my moms house tomorrow will have the right offset if not I'm not sure what will do

So I finished the packs today for chance. he couldnt come down because he was at school 
What we did was use a rear spring pack out of an 85 and used the 3 main leafs pulled the overload then used two leafs out of a 90 pack we had left over from my dad's SAS
which we cut down 3 inches shorter then the 3rd leaf then 3 inches shorter then the
4th leaf. we got about 3.5 inches of lift and were using the stock hangar sunday I will be picking up an adjustable drag link to correct the steering
so it looked like this with the stock tires
Then we stuck my spre 36 under it
So we realized the fenders needed a little trimming
right now we just need shocks and brake lines and the front will be done and for the time being im going to level it with some 4 inch blocks my buddy has. what do u guys think about removing the overload from the rears?

Yea it really does suck u couldn't make it it was fun chance bent his tire rod but we straightened it out. And the first day his fan belt shredded lol. I'll try to get the pictures up tonight we didn't take alot. But got a few videos. And I ate the can opener! But then my knuckle studs sheared off out at cedar tree. Which I think I screwed them up night wheeling fire break 5 too fast.

That is cool that you guys had a good trip, glad to hear you conquered can opener, did you attempt little rubicon this time? How far up fire break 5 did you guys go? Last time we made it to the end where it comes out by the crushers but had to turn around because of the snow.

All the wayto crushers but it was blocked off no snow and we did saddle up at night that would be a sketchy trail when it's wet lol. Didn't get a chance at the little rubi. But for sure next trip it's the first trail I'm doing then prolly hit waterfall. I'll get pics and videos up tomorrow
