88stroker

so charger rims and crown vics huh. looking for more backspacing but maybe thats all i can get on the cheap thanks for the responses fellas

been wanting to go to a bigger rim for a while now and since I'm doing a complete build i think now is a good time. does anyone know of a factory 18 out there that will work on a jeep? maybe a ford or dodge with the same lug pattern? was thinking go with a factory rim cause they are cheaper if you shop around. i know its not everyones style but i like the look so don't to too brutal with the whole"jeeps don't need 18's"

not lcose enough.....dang i think its more that I'm lazy and didnt want to do it if there was a way around it. as far as the tech section......ok my bad but it was easier with this post already up. gonna take some pics today when wife gets home with camera.

the axle is out of an xj so its already spring over with the 3.73 gearing it should be about right of rht etires i am going to run. just curious if its possible to do it easier guess not. thanks for the info on pics will take some tomorrow when its light and post them up ;)

glad to post pics........just tell me how now is there an easy way to swap in my 44? i know the perches arent the same width and so/su but i plan on the swap to spring over being part of the lift so is it necessary to weld on new perches......or is there a way to widen them .....ie weld on another perch next to it. this may seem like a dumb question but trust me i have had some bad experiences with the old torch and so i avoid it like the plague if possible.

well i bought this truck last year for a comuter........at least that is what i told the wife. 88 eliminator 2wd regular cab short bed. i also have an 89 wagoneer that will be donating its axles(h.p. 30 and 44 l.s.) also auto tranny and tcase. started work on my stroker when the head gasket let go at 220'000. my littl emanche could outrun a v8 silverado from light to light. it was FUN so what now? i have to finish the engine but that is under control what i have questions about is the dana 44. disk brakes i have read the writeups and its not clicking. i can't get the picture in my head of what press work is done. i have worked on a wj axle but i guess not enough to pick up on what the idea is. is it a ....oh thats what they meant type of thing once i get into it? i just built my map adjuster last week and it went smooth. iguess I'm excited about it and this post is really just to share my excitement with my fellow jeepers. one real question though if this was your build what would you do? just looking for cool ideas. i saw 500$mj's write up and i really like it but I'm gonna stay with red paint. but i like how his sits on the tires....as far as ride height. anyways sisint mean to ramble just enjoying the new forum for uni body/frame jeepers i lookk forward to your ideas.
