Back when you first put those 33" km2s on did you have any lift on it? I just picked up my '85 a couple weeks ago and I'm trying to get ideas for a small lift for 33s

 

In post #9 I put the 33's on and 1" body lift on at the same time. All the pics before that were with 32x11.50's and no body lift. I think it may have had add-a-leafs front and rear when I bought it originally but I'm not positive. It rode so stiff it was unbelievable.

 

Hahaha thanks man. The failrated name is a dig at jeeps "trail rated" badging

 

Been slacking on the updates again. Here she is with the single shackles finished up.

 

Went wheeling at the cove in Gore, VA again.


A little comparison for you. Both trucks are 1985's. Truck on left is short wheel base with 37's(mine is long wheelbase with 35's) with Chevy 63's and double shackle in the rear. Front is 2nd gen RUF. Without his double shackle, the our rear setups would have had the same flex but you can see his RUF is better than my 3" TG springs.

 

Oh yeah! I got my first wheeling dent last Saturday at Red Cloud. Its all down hill from here

 

Sign it and date it!

Wheres all the wheelin pics?

 

Totally forgot about the dig, wish we got a picture of the epic obstacle you perched that rig on.... Haha. Maybe we can get together this week and kill some beers and massag the sheet metal.

 

Fantastic build thread! Really enjoyable read
