bogginboy Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 my thoughs is i got a set of 14 bolt ff with detroit and 456 gearing and a dana 44 with 456 and detroits that i want to put under my mj.i also want to run a 38 inch swamper there. id like to dove tail the front end so i could see antidisestablishmentarianism i am doing in the tight trails and the woods. any body got any ideas on what i will have to do with the steering on a full size axles under that little rig. also any idea on how much lift ill need in the front to clear 38s with a full size. i was thinking about putting coils in the rear also with a 3 link suspension. the truck is in petoskey michigan and i was thinking about doing this in my boss's pole barn. i don't have a welder but i can cut the materials and fab up some things that i will need. i can get a hold of a welder but not very good at it for what i want to do. any body that would be willing to help me fab up some parts would be greatly needed and appreciated. this will be going on over the winter. i was thinking some rustys 8 inch coil springs for the front and possbile my 3.5 coil springs that i got for the rear?? would that sit level. i don't have to dove tail the front end id just really like to do it. what i am asking is how much lift will i need to clear 38s with and what will i need to do to the steering in the front. i want to have maxium flex for the trails add me on yahoo at motoxboy721250 or just leave me a message int his thread thanks alot :!: :?:
HatchetMJ Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 This is a buddy of mines MJ. The tires its sitting on are 38's. It was sitting with waggy springs at roughly 10-11 inches of lift. He's running a dana 60 in the front and a 14 bolt in the rear. This thing is a beast.

pingpong Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 I am curious about this rig. I don't see any front driveshaft or steering :shock: I think it looks great except for those ubolts hanging down. :? Those are begging to get demolished on rocks, if that is his preffered venue. Patrick
