Here is my spec sheet...

85 CJ-7, SB Chevy 415ci Tuned Port Injection, NV 4500, Dana 300, Dana 60 front 35 spline outers Warn Hubs 4.56 Lock-Right, GM 14-Bolt FF Detroit Rear Disc Brakes. Shackle Reversal, SOA 4" Springs, Power Steering, Hydo Assist brakes, Custom High Crossover steering, the best darn shafts in the business --->High Angle Driveline 1350 series CV's on each shaft. Soon to have High Angles driveshaft mounted e-brake. 38.5x14.40x15 Super Swamper TSL'SX'x on 15x10 wheels with 2.5" of Backspacing. (Yes had to grind about 1/8" of material off the edge of caliper) Warn M8000, factory A/C and a York On-board Air system in the works...

I figured this would answer a lot of questions.. <IMG SRC="smilies/glasses.gif" border="0">

Looks Good. Any idea why it leans to the drivers side? Mine does that also. I just put in differnt springs and rear end and it still leans. I can't seem to figure it out. Thought my frame might be tweaked. Will have to get out and start taking some measurements to find out what it is.

He,he, I thgink it leans because of the 14 bolt and dana 60 positioning (heavy puppies!) The Jeep looks awesome! Congrats! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

What would the axles have to do with it leaning?? Unless he has a couple bent axle tubes it wouldn't make any difference how heavy they were. Assuming the axles are straight, it would have to do with something from the springs on up.

Looks very cool. Just looks a little top heavy with cut down axles. Maybe it's my eyes. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Dude, The pinion on your 60 looks like its damn near centered!?!? What kind of angle you have on the front shaft? ANy problems with oilpan clearance?

It is close but at full compression with shocks bottomed out I still have about 1/2" close but will work for now... plan to redo the front end in a few months..
