um. thanks for the help. i sent hell creek and email with the photo asking their advice. I'm not mechanic but somethings not right. its darn cold out with icey snow so ill have to wait till it warms up a bit to measure and see whats up. i copied the old leaf packs and the way they were set so i think its the same. they build the springs to order so it would be pretty hard to mess that up one would think. Thanks Spectormj

the bed needs work. but i think i can fix it. if not then ill get a new one once i move back to the states that don't rust everything over night.

the old the newer ( it just a temp till i can rebuild and put on my 88 sportruck back home and its easier to haul if its under the trailer) painted frame (i broke the phone that had the pics of the frame prior) Hell Creek Springs spent all night putting those things on in the dark..... i think i put them on backwards? let me know got the bed on this morning not sure why the tire is so far forward. this is why i think the spring are on backwards and the jeep bedliner

Thanks yellaheep. unfortunatly i have already purchased the kit and actually installed it yesterday. i have dana 44 axle that i put underneath it so i can transport it to idaho where it will get a rebuild and regear and go under my truck. figured ill keep a spare under the trailer incase the axle breaks on the truck. just swap em out.

So i have been on this site for many years and have never really posted or published much. i am currently active with the Marines and my actual truck is nearly 3000 miles away back in IDAHO. so i have been buying parts over the last 8 years and now have a stock pile at my parents house. Since my truck is so far away and i can not work on it but a little at a time i decided to endure a journey of building a SporTrailer. the main focus behind the trailer is to have a matching camper to go with the truck for hunting, camping or full on bugging out. i like the idea of having everything all ready to go and just hook up and pull away. Since my skillset is something other then fabrication it has been a rough time designing and building this thing. very long process and its still nowhere near done. i am on a limited timeline to finish it because i am leaving the area in a few months. GOAL: Fully Sustainable camper trailer matching M88J (matts 88 jeep) Parts: Comanche Frame and Bed Operational tail lights Comanche camper top Carpeted bed with interior Storage Roof Rack Hell Creek Suspension 4.5 inch lift Front rack with water/fuel jugs and Ammo Can Storage Spare Tire Water tank possibly 20-30 GAL Water Pump JCR Offroad rear Bumper Awning Map/Field desk Chuck Box Stove and military style tent

This is my Comanche. There are only a few like it, and this one is mine. My Comanche is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My Comanche, without me, is useless. Without my Comanche, I am useless. I must drive my Comanche true. I must steer straighter than my enemy who is trying to scrap me. I must crush him before he crushes me. I will... My Comanche and I know that what counts in this wilderness is not the tires we ride, the noise of our engines, nor the smoke our exhaust makes. We know that it is the freedom that counts. We will ride... My Comanche is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its engine and its gauges. I will keep my Comanche clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will... Before God, I swear this creed. My Comanche and I are the defenders of Jeep country. We are the masters of AMC. We are the saviors of Jeep life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but the trail! Semper Fi and Semper Manche

I just scored a set of rear AMC ones off an 86 I picked up for a trailer. The brackets are in rough shape. Has anyone been able to duplicate a set of brackets? -
