My build thread

[Harley]

hey all, finally getting a few things done on my b2 and thought i would keep a log of this project. my b2 is an 86 eb, been sitting for a few years, paid 400 for it and towed it home. when i got it home i put in a new computer relay and it fired right up!

400 bucks vary well spent if i dont say so my self. nice b2

got the front lift on, superlift brackets and bds coils,still need shocks and brake lines....rivets suck!

custom long arms are easy if you know how to cut/weld.

there's a brake line extension in the tech library about using 2 pieces that are easily found at parts houses near you.

going to tackle the rear tomorrow. have some add a leafs and a lift shackle, not sure if ill get enough lift out of them though.

Good Stuff! Not bad for what you paid at all! It's very clean.

looks good so far

 

[Harley]

thanks guys....i have a lot of little stuff to do after i get the lift on...broken seat frame,wheel refurbish and tires, door panels, drop pitman arm(anybody have one for sale??) and the list goes on and on...lol

ended up putting a lift block and add a leaf in the rear, will put the wheels on tonight and see how it sits....should i hook the rear sway bar back up?? i was going to use the longer end links on the front sway bar....want to be able to drive it without it having a ton of body roll. will a front be enough??

 

[Harley]

found a great deal on some 35's with wheels...i know they are too much for my b2 but i still want them!!

anybody?

Couldn't hurt to have it hooked up. My 84 B2 has front and rear sway bars on it, it does certainly help in handling.

thanks wildbill....i connected the back one and need to make some drop brackets for the front...thanks for the advise!

 

[Harley]

got it leveled out today...blocks in the back and add a leafs. sits good so far, hope it doesnt settle too much.

Looks good! How much lift did you put on? 4" or 6"?
