    So today was suspension day. All of this would not have been possible without the expertise of Jerry aka Loosnut. He's got tools to fix tools - and the knowledge to use them.
    Almost exactly 8 hours start to finish to do a complete swap out of the front IFS and rear leafs and shackles.


    The torch came out for the LCA's ad the stubborn rear Ubolts but other than that it was pretty smooth going.

    Before:[​IMG]

    about to go under the knife:[​IMG]

    Going to get aligned tomorrow AM - steering wheel is making a permanent right turn. :eek:

    Next comes a clutch. :cool:

    I'm in the same boat. The 886's aren't cutting it.

    Nice looking setup Craig! Can't wait to see the crawl box installed.

    a number of guys have or are running 37s on LT or with stock length lowers on lift spindles. it's the stock length control arms wihout lift spindles on 37s that i believe there have only been 3 or so of. completely duable though. just break out the welder. BFH doesn't cut it anymore at that point.

    Lurry pounded his firewall so deep it split open, he sealed it back shit with some kind of epoxy I think. His worn 37" tars still rubbed all over that shit and the frame.
