Someone tell my brothwer he BADLY needs lkike 6 more inches on those shocks~!


Oh and your welcome for the help~


I know me handing you the tools for the 1 + hour installation was pretty rough on me.

 

[NoTrax]

He neglected to tell yall he went with DETROIT LOCKER,(RSDI) 4.10'S (MBRYSON) He also put in some superior axle shafts(RSDI). Not sure what else but it sat in the garage for along time waiting for something or other

 

[Brad Yates]

ah my old spare tire. oh how i miss it and i think you need like 6 more inches on the shocks, but congrats on the install - you are gonna paint that cover black right?

 

[Shawn]

What you should do is, relocate those rock magnet shock mounts.

 

[Caleb]

very cool...I agree with shawn...get them up outta harms way and that will get you some extra shock...

He was thinking of cutting em off and moving em up like he did on his D35, even when he did that he had to make a 3 inch adapter plate and still not enough flex

I told him to not cut em off But Now that You look at it its probably a good idea.

Hes not going to paint that diff cover, he had it sand blasted. It a finned aluminum cover. I Think it looks kinda neat

plus painting will insulate it and negate many of the advantages of aluminums superior heat dissipation....I would however build a cage around it....aluminum is not rock friendly

Now it's your turn to throw in my Dana 44 axle! Then you can do the gears in the Dana 30, and Change the wheel bolt pattern on the 30 and get me some new rims! Thats' all thats holdin me back!

Looks good man, I envy you!

Anything can be done at the right price

That's why I haven't done mine yet! Gotta do everything to the front axle to match the rear!
