Stew,

What is the distance from the ground to the bottom of the frame in the center? Tryin' to make a decision on whether to continue with my 4" SUA lift, SOA or link my truck. Workin' the whole cost/benefit table in my head ifyouknowwhatImean!!

Thanks!

That guy has balls. First he makes off with your fenders and now he's after your new tires!

 

[cruzer]

yeah that guy is ME! I was putting 3 more lug nuts on each wheel and tightening them up!

I know.. I know.. lame attempt at humor

that's right around what i'm aiming for with my cruiser...i like it a lot...

have you wheeled the irok's yet? (guess not, just saw the ticket stuck to the tread still, ha ha)

also, what's your final wheelbase?

Humor is good In my parents neighbor hood i probably should worry about somebody stealing the dam tires and fenders though!

Final wheel base is 102" Front springs are in stock location(from what i can tell) and the rears i cut off the hangers, made my own for under the frame, and added 2 inches to the back of the frame and mounted the shackle mounts on that. Makes for a nice long d-shaft even with the crawler box. Rear d-shaft is 2inches longer than STOCK 4spd drive shaft. I just cut off the stock slip yoke and used one from a mini truck and it was the right length.

Yeah no wheeling yet...still have a few things left and no rocks or cool places to try it out at my parents house....well maybe if i cut a few trees down i will be good to go
