I bet you do, i seen where you got your 9" from as well

got some different rims and got my TSLs mounted up......also dropped my axle housing off to have the right side tube shortened to EB width. So i will no longer be full width up front. I had to many problems with the really tight trails that i wheel. I kept running the RF tire into trees and similar.

John...what size are those TSL? Why did you switch from your Iroks?

never mind on the size....I see you xj4lifes TSL.

 

[CheapThrillB2]

honestly, every time i got into any mud they slicked right up and i got no traction.......i wanted something a little different and XJ4Life offered his TSL's so i jumped on them. I can't wait to get on the trail and try them out.......

well change of plans.....

I picked up a pair of Mid 70's D44 chevy Knuckles and related parts. My new plan is i am going to run a leaf spring set-up up front with a hi-steer set-up. both knuckles are flat tops so this way i can place the steering totally above the springs to protect the steering set-up. I haven't got the knuckles removed from the axle yet. But from what i have read i can take the knuckle, spindle hun, caliper and bracket. Reuse my ford rotors to keep the lug pattern the same. I use the chevy stub shafts. I also got my axle back from getting the pass side shortened 6 inches. Its been 5 degrees here and snowing hard the last few days so once the weather breaks and warms up a little i'll be hitting the garage for some long set-up hours.

I'm gonna make a bastard leaf pack from all the various leafs from things i've collected. But the main leaf will be a rear explorer. with the spring bolt offset in the leaf this will allow me to push the front about 2 inches from a stock location on the frame and put the front shackle from being in front of the frame rail. Got alot of trail and error ahead once it warms up.

:dunie: A new setup !

 

[opie93ex]

sweet cant wait to see it done

 

[Bronco Ollie]

thats sweet that is how bronco sally is running his ad the leafs flex real good

 

[dumperdave]

You been spendin time with muddywater?

 

[CheapThrillB2]

actually, the more i thought about how to set his up, the more i thought it would work on my set-up........

 

[dumperdave]

Do you have your main rear leaf? I may split up my spair set to beef mine a little so you could have em if you need'um. I wish I would have pulled some of those shackel dealies from 78 f250s I have scrapped. They would work sweet.

 

[CheapThrillB2]

i have a huge pile of leaf springs that are taken apart......bring me your two leaf packs and you can take whatever you want from the pile.
What did you want for the leafs $$$???
