I loved all those pictures! Using these trucks makes all the work worth it.

You just became my favorite build to follow. Thank you for sharing those views.

Thanks!

I wish I could have shared more but the files are too large. Those views are why I bought an xj 5 years ago, then went on a hunt for this truck.

Exactly why I built it. $350 $#!&box subarus would only let me get so far.

Got the factory rearend out, looks like somebody threw a strap on it and tried to yank the truck out of a pretty good stuck. Has about 8” of pipe welded to the carrier and axle tube. Cut the mounts off and prepped an xj axle. 
  The passenger side leaf split at the front bushing. After some measurements and a bit of Irish luck, I pulled a set of leafs out of the back of the barn from a 94 ford lightning. I removed the slappers an half leaf and they bolted right in and gave me 6” lift with the axle flip. 

 

 

 

I need to replace my MJ leaf springs and I'm considering going with F150 springs for availability, cost and capacity.  Do they lift more than stock MJ springs?
