ann :thumbsup: for useing a chevy axle.

did you read? he said bds:flipoff2:

The leaf springs come from Canada....says it right on them.... :)

Looks good, are you keeping the original front crossmember, A-arm mounts, and etc? What size Yoko Geolander A/T's are those?

Oh, and what year 241 did you use for the D drop?

dope :homer:, i was so awestruck by the goofy weird ass curve.

Both the front and back of the spring look like they curve up at the ends and the rest of the spring is kinda flat. Seems funny to me too...but if they work. I see the front of the spring looks double wrapped, so who knows maybe they work out. Almost looks like it was designed to leave the front crossmember in. What are you gonna use for a t-case?

i used a 1990 np241... all the brackets are gonna be cut off and welding new crossmembers in.


bds= big dick suspension.... but now its called something else a local shop ordered them for me. lifetime warranty

Lookin good so far. About how much overall lift are you gonna be running once its all said and done?

Scott

right now the truck has 8 inch suspension and a 3 inch body... but ill be taking out the body lift and running 37x13.5x16 pit bull rockers...

ill get more pics up later. digital camera batteries suck. :shaking:

Oh yeah, either your work area is very clean and organized or you left your pneum. impact out in the weather.....along with your fire extinguisher....

what size are the Geo's you're running now......just to get a height perspective. They look small, like 265's....285's? By the look of the tread wear you need to get an alignment on whichever vehicle they came from......too much neg. camber....LOL

ORU steering/pitman too?

Looks really clean, I like it.

Looks like the drag link is gonna hit the bottom of the frame on the pass side

Looks good.

You can keep the stock tranny X-member if you use a clocking ring to get the 241 up in the frame rails then cut a section out of the heatshield and beat the floor a little. Just use a CV front shaft and it works just fine.

got anyside pictures? tittys build

the geo's are 265. just a roller tire. .

truck was in my garage and i pushed it out to load it on the trailer. still need a little bit of work...i got more pics just need the time to do it.
