Alabama thread!

Whatcha y’all think about hammer hangers? Don’t really need new leaf packs, happy with my stockies and AAL, but with the added weight of the swing outs I built, it levels out the truck and I get the bro lean when stuff is in the back. Heard the hangers are good for another inch of lift

 

version 3 hangers what I have provide no lift.
Read discussion we had today on matter. Must have

They seem to do a lot for ride quality. Gonna try to source a V2, surely someone upgraded to v3 and wants to sell

 

Evenin fellas

 

Hey Phil.

 

Sup Tyler
Just settling in at work. I keep trying my Jedi powers to make the clock run faster......ain't happening

 

Sup phil

 

Same ole same ole
Sup with you?

 

Getting things figured out for getting the truck fixed temp so I can drive around for a while until I can decide the route to go with a full repair.

 

Rock Jock 60 that bitch

 

I'm thinking full float 9" with 35 spline axles and a 72 wms width

 

Gonna SAS the front to match? Isn't our WMS like 66"

 

It's 65 but I have a +4 LT on order coming with my lift it'll be close to 3.5 maybe a little less actual so about 72wms to wms and I'm going with some pretty non aggressive wheels to keep them sucked in some and have good scrub radius.

 

Nice. Can you get the 9 with 6 bolt lug pattern? I've honestly not looked at axles, just talking shit from the Jeep days

 

The 9" you can get in whatever flavor you like. Its like the AR of axle world. Some housings you can shove a 10" RG in them

 

I knew you could get it in a matching Jeep config, just wasn't sure about Toyota. I watched an old episode of Truck Tech on Power Nation the other day. That got me to looking for an older JKU Rubi with the 3.8(07-11) to do a Hemi swap That motor was a dog, so those models are much cheaper than the ones with the 3.6

 

I'd rather have an LJ. The 3.8 was dog dodo to say the least. It was like the turd gen tacoma but worse. I think they literally took motors out of the minivans and put them in the heeps no changes to anything.

 

They did. The 3.6 was even a minivan motor The LJ's are a bit too expensive, plus the TJ/LJ D44 was a hybrid. It had the D44 pumpkin, but 30 outers. I did love that inline 4.0 though. Also, the OPDA(or whatever it was) in the 05-06 autos was a problem.

I know Jeeps

 

I lucked up and got the D44 in my Sahara. I always wanted to get a HP30 out of a XJ and swap it in. They say the gears were 30% stronger. I also got the NV4550 trans.

 

Oh I know. But who said I'd get a Rubi LJ I'd just go with the standard since ditching the axles off the bat needs to be done. The 3.8 was also a minivan motor . All chrysler autos are pretty garbage from that vintage.
