Hey all,
Picked up a BJ74 with cable lockers and factory winch a couple months ago. Long time reader of iH8mud, just finally made an account as a lot of you have great knowledge. Things I’ve done to it so far is just a spring over lift using the RuffStuff 60 series kit and trail gear 4 stud high steer kit. Install went well (although these axles are not fun to move around!). Currently waiting on new wheels to come in so I can mount some 37x12.50s to them, and lastly waiting on a driveshaft to be made for the front, angle was too steep for the factory driveshaft and the driveshaft was too short. Planning on getting a double cardan made, possibly pushing the axle an inch forward with the leaf spring flip and re-drilling the military wrap leaf to keep it in back. Worried about cable locker length though, as it’s already a tad stretched. If you’ve read this far, congrats! If anyone has stuff they think is essential I should do feel free to comment please!
