DirtyComanche Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 There's an IFS MJ on here, JBhill's truck... Those are SFA though. The use a 2wd beam. I think they used adjustable ball joints. The SCCA rules didn't allow major modifications to the trucks AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bro,, I found the first one,, I'm still missing alot of fab work on the truck.... like floors and how he tied that frame into the cab... I have lots of s10 parts... 2 or 3 frames too...... nah... to much work... Hey dirty I found some zj rear springs, I'm going to throw them in my mj I'll let you know how much a drop it is...

Did that guy ever say what year his springs came out of? Which guy? And I THINK you'll be at about a 3" drop with ZJ rears? The ZJ guys put their stock fronts in the rear to give them about 3" of lift, IIRC. Clearances with the oil pan get bad at about 3" low in the front, I think. I'm sure it can be fixed, but everyone I've ever talked to about it seemed to think it was a 'major' problem. :nuts: I think they just aren't willing to use a sawzall.

I can't remember, but it was recently cause it was fresh on my mind when I ran into this guy lifting a zj. anyhoot, yeah I can see a issue with clearance right there. but hey the oil pan is metal so it can be welded.. I don't know how the oil level would be compensated if you notched it though. I would like to know how those SCCA trucks were set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 They're all 2.5s, so they don't have as many clearance problems. With a 4.0L the oil pan is lower... Also the UCA towers on the axle hit the oil pan flange. Again, that can be fixed. Notching an oil pan for clearance is nothing new though. Look at the oil pan in a 6cyl IFS toyota truck if you want a really good example! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
