Small update.... Went back to the TJM stiff springs in the rear. Axle to flare is not 24.5"... so what's that, 4" lift or so...
Add 130mm urethane spaces from Man-a-free on the front. I probably did something wrong because I actually spent some time on the lathe with them as I couldn't get them to fit for anything... any no, they were not rear spacers! lol
Front axle to flare is 24"... so again, about 4" lift or so. Springs are TJM stiff--- same as rear.
Ordered some custom valved with external compression adjuster shocks from Radflo. Spoke with Glen about the setup. Seemed quite knowledgable. Supposed to get them in a couple weeks.
Outside of that, I winched a friend's G-Wagon up the slab at KS Rocks. Interestingly, he was locked all 4 on 34" BFG ATs and didn't make it up for anything... I made it up WITHOUT my diff lock, so the rears were dead (muct have been a long night, as that was 1 button I forget to push). The video shows my fronts working their tails off the rears in idle, which makes sense... Nevertheless, with 35" BFG MTs, I still made it up. I was surprised. As much as I would like to say "80 Series Rules", I think the MT are just THAT-MUCH better than the ATs...
Next I need to make some brake lines. On borrowed time with the stockers... and then some! yikes!
