yeah your right im going to be wheeling this hard, im not going to just slam it around but i would bend those. im going to have to rethink that. i just got my hellfire knuckles all i need is brake calipers and to have a shop weld on my knuckle balls

didnt even think about the prices going up

Total Project costs: $440 6 x 2.5" Johnny Joints with 1.25" forged stud $36/ea with jam nut (around $225) 6 x Tube adapters $14/ea ($85) 6' long 2" .250 wall DOM tubing $61 (I didn't use the other 4 feet I bought) 6 x 5/8" Grade 8 bolts with washers and nuts around $36 roughly around 3 feet of...

im not going to lie my idea about the leafs wasnt the best i just had a few friends sugggested it to me.. i see if can find the link for the build

im spending 450 on the links, i found a deteiled build with a fj80 that was their cost to do a 3 link. the knucles were aready in my budget

i understand that the stock axle is pretty stong even with bigger tires but, sence i havea axle out of the truck, i feel it would be more easy tom have the brackets welded on and eveything done needed while its out, also ican have my rig running while im setting up eveything. ill be getting a...

there are some pretty hard trails here theycan just be hard to find... ive had lots of wheelers before but for my fj, oreginly i wanted to do 3 links, and having a spare axle to weld everything on would make it a lot more easy, also i could keep it drivalbe while i did that, my friend really...

will do some of my spellings not the best but after whatevyone has said im going 3 link with the 9.5in frount axle ill be sure to make build thread

thanks for the advice, the 9,5in is a fj80 rear cut and notched it does msuere out for the wheel with, the resson id like to go this route ive heard that the 8in stock axle can be weak is some forms i want a bomb proof axle undeer it but id like to keep it toyota. my frount axle is allso going...

thats a pretty good idea i always did like how low to the ground they sat

but reallly with all said im going to admint id be better off doing my own 3 link or finding a kit that would fit. ad for now with the 8in axle thats under im going to lift it 2n to 3in. untill have have my 9.5in axle set up for 3 links

i was thinking they sold the 6 shooters for the bigger housing as well knowing they arnt ill have to rethink. that my budget for the 3 link was 450 just becuse someone elde did a build fot that much id have to find it, its somewhere here on ih8mud.

ill keep eveyone updated with my frankstien fj

ill have to take a look at that lift but with eveyones advice im thinking im going to go 3 link. my frount axle is "okay" as it sits and i think all make some caster drop brackets for where it mounts to the frame and just go with a small lift untill i have a link system setup... im not suerp...

im kind of jumping into this. the main resson id like to swap the axle is i got a good deal on it with LOTS of spare parts and id like a 6.5 in lift but with the rear track bar and coils n sptings its goning to really set me back almost 2 grand (ironman) with the 3 link sety up being 450 on the...
