Looks very similar to the one I have my name on...
Maybe so but look at the mileage.

Saw that but I can get mine for half that!
REPOSTED from my tire thread in the 80 section.
Well I finally got my 4" rear spacers from Man-a-Fre. They were on backorder. 4+ stuff is the best, but the guy who makes it is on his own time clock.
Anyway, in prep for the final "rub test" I took the rear mudflaps off and trimmed the inside of them and cut the "flap" portion off right under the bulge. I keep the clean, finished look, but take away the part that always gets backed over. When you back over the mudflap on a rock it tends to yank the flap and the fender flare clean off the truck.
I have done it twice on other 80s so lesson learned...
I have a nice V ditch on the road in front of my house. I have found these things test out the flex best over a ramp. It will full stuff the front and rear at the same time and if it is deep/steep enough, you can carry the opposing tires. (that is if the truck wont full flex out)
My 80 is no ramp champ. I have regular length OME shocks and the swaybars attached. It sees mainly road use and I am building it for mild family wheeling and Moab type overnights so I am not looking for a rock machine. With dual lockers, carrying a tire is not that big of a deal anyway.
On to the pictures.
Driver's side rear tucks in perfectly and the 4" bumps make it all work just right. Nothing touches but the inside of the tire on the upper inner wheelwell. That is great as it is a nice flat, smooth surface and it can rub all day long and won't hurt anything.
1/2" to spare on the rear flaps
Tire fits like a glove
Fronts are about the same, they have a bit more room than the rears
NOT a ramp queen for sure
The passenger side rubs some on the rear. Not sure why it rubs and the drivers does not. I took 3 or 4 runs at the ditch and it was the same each time.
You can see the rub on the passenger rear hear. Not much I can do about it. Hope I don't rip s*** off.

Just get the 4+ stuff from him and it is alot quicker than dealing with MAF.
Screw a "ramp champ" Nolan....it's just numbers and flex for bragging rights anyway....youll get more use out of her like she is for what you want to do......looks freakin GREAT!

THANK YOU for posting this! I can see in one pic that he just flipped the oem radius arms and cut off the front mount and raised the bracket on the axle, then added a top third link... I do believe this will be my first attempt at a front 3-link. I have an exttra radius arm available that i can even use as the top one eliminating all hiems, and using factory bushings.
Better get it before Rob does.
Would be great to put it in a 60 just to call it the ZO60.
David this has you written all over it!
