got the springs back on andthe shackles all buttoned up, looks sweet

 

[camcruiser13]

need to get the driveline extended for sure, i think i got around 3 1/2 to 4 inches of wheel base.
heres a pic of how short the driveline is now

hard to see all i had was my camera phone,

 

[camcruiser13]

heres from afar


what do you think?

 

[camcruiser13]

the approach angle is way better now than before. i will have to do something about the shock mounts, due to moving the axle foward the shocks need to be redone. i might go with ford towers while im in there

My god... drilling holes in your frame! That takes balls, even it it had to be done... I don't know how I'm going to do that to mine ....

What are the names of those shackles that give you "extra" articulation on a cruiser.... since there is a lack of it in the leafs.

I would highly reccomend the ford towers, SO EASY AND CHEAP!, just weld em on and at around $8 a piece you can't beat this mod, no reason to mess with the stock ones.

noah

 

[camcruiser13]

im gonna go get some tonight.

 

[awp_cruiser]

Nice... It looks really good.

X2 on the ford towers. Super easy.
