Dual 44's and 37's (quick update)

[blackdiamond]

ok, for the last 6 months a have been putting together the stuff to swap in a waggy front 44 with wheel spacers, and J-truck rear 44 with the wheel spacers the stance is about 65 front and rear. i had to weld on the brackets off of a 2wd Comanche axle on to the front 44, that was kinda a pain, but it worked. i have to get some longer brake lines, and a have to get some manual locking hubs for the front axle, and a couple other things here and there. here are all the pictures. if you have questions about any of it, just ask me, I'll try to help the best i can.

 

and here is my plan for a rear bumper, which will be my next project.

and for comparison, here is my truck before

I like it! You just made me want 37s :D

[blackdiamond]

took it out for a shake down run. i still some work to do to get it dialed in, but here is a shot of me playing around.

I'll probably get slammed for this as everyone seems to like it, but in my opinion, the tires just look too big. Maybe 37s will look better on 16.5 or 20" rims, but not sure about that.

[blackdiamond]

yeah i'll admit the tires looked too big to me when the rims were white, but they look alot better with the rims black. the rims are 16 inchers. i got the tires, and bought the rims to match. the tires were only 50 bucks for all of them.

awsome love them thar tires :D

[blackdiamond]

I finally got some new brake lines on my truck, and can now flex with confidence that i'm not going to snap one. here is a few pics, sorry, the pictures are really big. beware dial-up.

 

Anyway, i was able to get the tire about 35 or 36 inches off the ground, i think thats a pretty good amount.

[xjcrazy09]

very flexy for 37s, I like! :D

[blackdiamond]

So i got a quick update to my project. i cut the rear lower quarter panels in preparation forr building my rear bumper, a little early, but they were all dented, and banged up anyway, so i figured it would make it look nicer. :rotf:

i like the look. i can't wait till i have the bumper to protect it, and add some sweetness.

here are some videos from a recent wheeling playing around trip.

just for perspective how wide are the 37`s 10.50`s? looking good btw

[blackdiamond]

They are 12.50's on an 8x16 inch rim

[awhpoo]

nice nice ty i do like it with the black rims a lot more

[blackdiamond]

Tonight we got the rear end locked up, i can't wait till i take it ou and see what a difference it will make. i'm guessing there will be a little bit of a difference. i guess we'll find out. now it's time for some sleep as it is 12:00 am

[blackdiamond]

well, i traded out the waggy front for a HP 44 out of a ford truck. i geared it with junk yard gears to 4:10's. i changed out the radius arms for a 3rd link, which is so much better feeling on and off road, and thats about it. here are the pictures.

[JeepcoMJ]

nice. you really should tie that into more than just the sheet metal floor, though.
