progress wont be fast though im workin part time (12 hours a week) and going to school full time.

 

still doing a lot of research to figure out how i wanna do the suspension and build the axle and steering

what kinda front spring are you running? if i remember correctly you had alot of flex when we were at uwharrie last month

 

I hear you. Not having much free time sucks, I know all about it. Gotta do what yah gotta do though.

 

im hoping to have this thing done by next june

 

I have 4" Trail Gear suspension front and rear. It sits pretty tall, I wish I had gone with 3" but I will remove some leaves to drop it down if it doesn't settle any more. But yes it flexes well. I want to re-do the rear shocks for more travel.

There are lots of options. Ruf mixed packs are cheap and pretty popular with Chevy 63's out back. Research the Pirate Toyota bible, there is a shit ton of info there.

Depending on your budget and fab skills, the trail-gear SAS kit is a good setup and has everything you need.

 

i know i wanna go 63's in the rear and when i do that ill have 2 sets of stock toyota rears and im thinking of doing that but i don't know how much lift ill get or how well they'll flex so im not sure in the front yet?

You can make something with 2 sets of rears. Then all you need is a spring hanger, shackles/mounts, and hi-steer

 

do you know if ill need to move my steering box if i do RUF'S and how much it will move my axle forward?

just seen axle moves foward 2 inches

 

I THINK RUF's will the move the axle forward 2" but double check that. You will want to push the steering box all the way against the body mount, and you will need to cut some of the radiator support to do this.

 

thanks dude, theres alot of info in there

 

tear down

oh yea it has a factory inclinometer on it






painted to kinda match the interior better

im building a new rear leaf pack that will eventually be moved up front when i sas, i decided to go ahead and pull the entire axle it really needed to be cleaned up and repainted.

I think you're right, and she might be local
