88swampedmj Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 couldnt do much to the truck...it rained today. i got some 2x4" steel for the front/rear bumpers.. but couldnt do much more.. the peice for the bumper just sittin.. Image Not Found a pic of the rear Image Not Found and the side shot... the tires stick out haha Image Not Found
86FUBAR Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 WAY to far foward by a mile , hope u aint runing it like that :eek:
88swampedmj Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 yea iam runnin it like that haha, ill just trim more.. iam runnin the same leafs as him.. i just put my shackles up more so they arent pointed so far back mine is no street truck haha
DirtyComanche Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Looks like the axle location is about right... The steering going to clear everything? I want to move mine out a little more once I change up my front end again.
88swampedmj Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 haha the steering isnt gonna work, iam gonna have to do crossover
DirtyComanche Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 That was sorta a given. With cross-over you won't run into the problems I had (inverted T high-steer). I Had the drag link binding on the tie-rod. Then hitting the leaf spring. It was really sweet. My steering is hack. It's on my 'list'.
88swampedmj Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 hahaha dang, yea iam goin for crossover..its easy and cheaper now all i need is the pas. knuckle... haha
Oizarod115 Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 just a thought, i saw a construction vehicle parked yesterday and noticed the tie-rod ran BEHIND the tubes. :nuts: would that be possible on a rig like yours? seems like it'd be nice and protected
88swampedmj Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 hmm some dana 60s have rear steer... it would be cool i guess but kinda hard on my truck i think
panama red Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 has to have kingpin knuckles to have tierods behind the axle.
DirtyComanche Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 has to have kingpin knuckles to have tierods behind the axle. Actually, I think there is a kit to do it with a D44. It can cause a lot more problems than it is worth. If you were to do it, it is advised you design almost the entire front end around that concept...
88swampedmj Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 i wouldnt do that setup haha, got some more done on the truck today though... finished up the front crossmember Image Not Found Image Not Found a shot with the grill on Image Not Found
Twisty Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 2" back spacing is massive! It looks great though. I'm tempted to do a leaf swap when I get a new front axle. It looks like a fun project.
88swampedmj Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 haha thanks man its been pretty crazy...and lots of work but wayy worth it.. i love how it looks now... and with all of what ive done..and will do... iam sure nothin around here can stop me
Oizarod115 Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 haha thanks man its been pretty crazy...and lots of work but wayy worth it.. i love how it looks now... and with all of what ive done..and will do... iam sure nothin around here can stop me lookin sweet man, you plan on buildin a front bumper too or just runnin the crossmember?
88swampedmj Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 the bumper is kinda part of the crossmember now, i made the crossmember then braced the leaf hangers off the bumper
88swampedmj Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 yep i got a little done, its raining so i sat in my room and installed the lock right in the 44 carrier.. ill put the 5.13s and all on tonight if it stays dry and not too hot.. Image Not Found
