Solid Axle Swap BS Thread

1 inch is a day and night difference, that’s what she said

 

I think we're already there, at least it seems that way with the videos I watch. 44's and above are much less though (mainly the snow bashers).

 

Looks great man!! those grooves are sweet

 

Thanks man. Cut them for snow. Gonna find out tomorrow if they work(they’re gonna work)

 

Just FYI some of your photo links are down. May want to switch to: https://imgur.com/

 

Yeah bummer.

 

Did a test drive today, even drove on the freeway . Still need to install sliders, install a winch, build a radiator guard, do some wiring, and paint some bare metal. Taking it on the Rubicon next month for its true maiden voyage.

 

Looks really clean

 

Choppy choppy

 

Sitting a little under an inch low in the back.
Just a few things left on the list to finish,
Picking up tires this week, Regear the rear, install air compressor, install front driveline and drive the thing..

 

What size tire are you going to run and just curious what is the distance from the ground to the rocker panel?
Looks great. I think it's the first pic I've seen of your truck.

 

I sits on 33s in the pic, 37s coming on Wednesday.
Right now I’m 24 3/4 from the ground to bottom of frame in front 23 3/4 ish in the back.

 

I was just wondering because my truck is getting pretty high. Needed something to compare it too. I'll do some measurements tomorrow. Thanks for that.

 

Some updated pictures.

 

This sounds right on the money for leaf springs. It will settle some after some abuse and articulation.

 

Right now I'm at 21" to the bottom of the frame in the front. Just some old rollers on there my old 37's are coming back to me so I'm guessing around 30" will be the actual length.
