damn Dustin, that was fast.

looks good BTW

 

[disciplerocks]

Not done. Brakes, shocks, drag link, diff cover, and I am probably going to swap springs. The XJ coils are too tall now. Probably rock the stock F150 coils and see where that gets me for now.

Looking good! Are you building tube fenders for it?

 

[kroussinoffroad]

i often question why we build these trucks to push thru the mud,rocks,dust,water,snow and everything else. it would be much easier to build a street truck where your are less likely to damage stuff due to "obstacles" and then it would be alot easier to get it in and out of my garage. downfall would be i would have to jack it up to do things like u-joints and fluid changes. there is something about sitting under the truck with plenty of headroom thats nice

Kroussin- that's exactly why mine keeps getting bigger tires! Original plan was to do 33's max now making plans for 44 ttb and 37's.

 

[dangerranger83]

Much better.

 

[kroussinoffroad]

i'm past the 37's and onto the 38.5's might go back to 37's in the future tho

why not just cut down those coils until you get the hight you like? i get the feeling the f150 coils are gonna be too stiff for your liking. i know those jeep coils flex great we are using them on a buddies sas'd mazda in the stock hight and they still have tons of travel

 

[disciplerocks]

I have another set of XJ coils that have been cut. Might try those too. The F150 coils weren't going to be permanent, just to get me at the right height until I find what I need.

 

[kroussinoffroad]

i ran my F-150 coils in this truck and the mazda. they are the deaver super-flex coils so they are suposed softer than factory. i think they are a little stiff but everyone that ride's in my truck loves the way it rides and handles. i know i'm a little heavier than you right now but i think the mazda was very similar to the DWB B2

Fastest SAS ever?

Holy Shit!
If ya check his posts 10:58 am pic of axle with springs under truck. 2:35 pm & it's sitting on the 44 & looks complete. That's 2 hrs 40 minutes. :icon_surprised:
Did you breathe? :icon_confused: :icon_confused:
I bet you need a couple of !

 

[Jay'94]

You totting 2 different spares now?

 

[disciplerocks]

No spares at the moment. And it really did take all day. Even after it was on all fours again, thats when all the tedious stuff came in. Shocks, brakes, steering, front shaft, swapping coils....

I was lucky that my TTB steering setup worked perfectly for the drag link and trac bar.

 

[kris97ranger]

so handy! so now that its sas'd you think your sticking with 35s or going for those 38s
