Operation 'Basket Case MJ'


Recommended Posts

Had a little time to get the brakes together last night after work. Parking brake cables are stock length, and this is full droop. I had to route them under/ inboard of the leaf springs. I think I'll make a pair of looped brackets 3"-4" long where the original loops used to be. Need to adjust the shoes with the drums on and then set the parking brake adjustment. Then I'll get her on her feet and see what I have for rear ride height.

Looking good!

 

Thanks!

 

Got her on her feet today.

Rear height is 14.50" (+5.3" lift) 

Front height is 13.25" (+5.5" lift)

Rake is 1.7" R > F

 

I'm going to add another .5" - .75" to the ACOS up front and let the leaf springs settle. I'd like to see about 1" of rake, max. Just my preference on stance.
