Just wanted tp update the build. Its gettgin closer to being completed but not quite there yet...
Installed the ebc 5.5" springs. Need to build a panhard drop bracket and get it installed to stop the sideways axle movement and get it centered. Also because of the extended wheelbase im going to have to cut off the upper coil spring buckets and move them back 2 inches. As you can see, my springs are not very functional like this....
With all this damn snow we have been getting and the below freezing weather for the last few weeks I havent been able to make anymore progress. Heres my current list of parts waiting for install:
Calmini SYE - really needed with the stretched rear wheelbase and to get rid of the slip yoke.
Square tube - To build front and rear driveshafts, this will be a trailer queen and square tube shafts can take a lot of abuse from rocks.
BTF Front shock hoop kit - I didnt like the F 250 shock towers that were installed by the previous owner.
Ballistic fab hysteer system - 1 ton TRE's and high steer arms.
Ignore the faggity orange and yellow, they will be black before I put them on...
I got a set of rear springs off an 88 4 runner to move the front axle forward 2". Im not happy though with how soft the set I have is though so I will be using the toyota main leaf and the rest of the waggy pack.
I also scored 2 realy good shape used seats and harnesses today for $200 bones!!!!
