It was off the jackstands. I had to drive it out of the garage to do the front. Those leafs didn't really compress at all so ya, it was really high

I measured the spot right behind the bed on mind from the ground to the quarter panel area and it was 33 inches. On lees it was 24 so no it was not s hyperbola

Where are you located?

So when I started by SOA swap last weekend I learned that my leafs were not stock. I had about 14 inches of lift. So now I need new leaf packs. I saw the ones on General spring but shipping Is almost 90$!!! Anywhere else sell them? Thanks

There's a guy here in Bellingham with a comanche and a few months ago he told me he had an ls7 and was about to swap it in. I haven't seen him around anymore though but damn that'd be sick

So I just made and sold another bike rack I made and I thought I had enough money for the general spring mj stock leafs, but its 85$ shipping so that sucks

I did it yesterday and ya you just flip it over. it takes like 10 minutes to install the whole thing and it's great

I just did it in September and it wasn't bad. Just don't forget to get a new pilot bearing or bushing. I had a bushing made but a lot of guys just get a 304 bearing or something like that.

If I was you I would start a new thread. I always beat the dead horse and nobody seems to care all that much

Ya they're awesome. They're from nates 4x4

Well bad news guys I got all done in the back and started in the front then I realized that the back was too high. Turns out my leaf pack isn't stock so I was about 12 inch lift. I had to Take it all off then out the d35 back in because I need my truck by Monday. So I'll order the springs when I get the money then I'll start again.

Started 8.8 swap today. It a friday. Tomorrow I'm hoping i can finish but something always goes wrong. I'm doing my RMS today tomorrow and putting in HP 30 [/url]">http:// [/url]">http:// [/url]">http://http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Jackrabbit123/media/IMG_4867_zpsutedztqu.jpg.html'>

Thanks. After k get those I'm starting the swap tonight! Really excited to finally do this

Can you buy them new, or just JY them? I need some new seals.

So I'm doing my 8.8 swap and i decided that it was good to wait until the day before to figure this out (not). So after rolling this thing around 500 times the brake lines are kinda catywompus. They are in good shape but i just need to put it back. Also my main concern is do the 8.8 brake lines go right into the stock comanche lines? thanks here's some pics of what I have going on. [/url]">http:// [/url]">http:// [/url]">http:// I bought new extended brake lines, the ones off of alexia lift kit and so I have longer ones but will those work? thanks Edit/ Also does anyone know what threads are in the 8.8 yoke? I got the flange adapter but I need to get some grade 8 hardware for it.

here's my new 4wd shift linkage. I was going to make my own but this wasn't going to be much cheaper so i just bought this. [/url]">http://http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Jackrabbit123/media/IMG_4861_zpsapifx9ig.jpg.html'>

Cable drivin speedo. Ever since I did ax15 swap speedo hasn't worked. The cable works(put a drill on it and it worked), the speedo gear looks good and so does the gear inside the t case. Also the speedo is snug on the cable. Could the two gears just not be meshing? I need a different ratio any way so maybe I should finally get a different one.

I got a 210 mp lincoln last summer so I am no pro welder, but Id say that harbor fright will be perfect for that. It doesn't have to be that strong of welds and the metal is thin. Just make sure to look up welding videos and stitch weld it. I did my floor boards with my welder and stick welded it and it turned out great. Just put some sort of sealant around the welds too. Also, get an auto darling helmet. They're cheap but more money then non autoe ones but they are a PITA

At the end theres a back to back comparison

So put in some hush mat on the roof and behind the seat, then i installed my headliner. Its sooooooo much quieter in their. I'm going to hush mat the whole cab now that I know it works so well. Ill post a video on youtube of it here soon. Ill link it in a bit.

Thanks! its been a lot of fun. My grand parents gave me that 5k and after about 3 months it was all gone! haha, now every time my paycheck comes in it doesn't last long either. I think i have an obsession. lol

SMS custom comanche headliner and visor fabric. It's all curled up due to it being in a box for a week or so. I got hush mat coming tomorrow, then i'll put it all in. [/url]">http://http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Jackrabbit123/media/image1_zpsqdb4vezz.jpg.html'>

So ever since I put in my ax15 and put in a new RMS, it's leaked. I have to fill it up about once a week. I've replaced a few things like the oil filter gasket and the valve cover is only a few months old. There is no other leaks that I can see o the motor but I know that lots of things can look like the rear main as the motor tilts back. I'm just pretty sure it is becuase it wasn't leaking before I put in a new one and it is now. And when we put it in my dad and I were very careful not to strip of any of the rubber groove thing. I'm just wondering if there's anything else that y'all think it could be. I'm doing my front and rear axle swap next weekend and when I'm swapping in the front i thought I should fix it while it's accessible. Also other then just puting it in, is there any techniques or things to make sure it don't leak no more? Thanks

Why did you use a PCV valve for the axle vent? The axle vent should be open to the atmosphere to allow internal pressures built up by hot gasses to escape. Depending on which PCV valve you have it is acting either as an incoming or outgoing check valve - not good. You should replace the PCV valve with a fitting open to the atmosphere both ways or you may have axle seal leaks down the road. Like this one or similar. Even a 1/8 NPT hose adapter fitting would be better than the PCV valve. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performance-Products/555/60116/10002/-1?parentProductId=756432 So I did have a PCV valve that only let stuff out but I ended up swapping it out for an open fitting and I'm just gonna run a 6ft hose up into the engine bay and make it curly q so it doesn't let water down.

Hopefully in a weeks time, Ill have all this in the 'manche. [/url]">http://http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Jackrabbit123/media/IMG_4810_zps61ivgqed.jpg.html'>
