hey man, saw you at the swap meet... Talking about transfer cases, and ATMs that won't let you draw money =(

anywho...
AWESOME truck setup! Just checkin' to see if my email went through to ya, the PMs are full..
anywho, I'm interested in seeing what Transfer case parts you had available. Send me a PM or email and I'd love to see if you have some spare parts like the 21 spline input shaft!

installed my 30 spline longs that i picked up today at the swap meat. one step closer. also got a new set of hubs and the hub gears will be here tues. then its time to try out the 4wheel drive. cant wait.

oldbeercans · Mar 12, 2008

so i put the rest of the front axle back together and put the front driveline in. 4wheel drive seems to work great. maybe post some poser pics tomarrow.

I saw that fawker in oregon on the way back to washington. They stopped in at the same gas station.

got some new 44044 waggies today along with shackles and rear dakota springs, also got a rebuilt ifs box and 4 rancho rsx 14" adjustable shocks for 300 hundy. so i put the waggys in, what the **** was i thinking before??? these things work great. one of the best things ive done to this truck. still got to do the rears. how do i figure out were to put the new hanger. as far as loaded spring ride. and how much angle do i want in my shackle at ride height?

yep its amazing what you can do with computers:flipoff:

so tonight i worked on the rear suspension:awesomework: . got the new hangers in and springs along with cleaning up the rear housing some more. got some poser flex shots for ya to. im not sure yet but think i need to move the front hangers back more to allow for more shackle angle and resulting in more droop??? :corn: im not to sure if that is correct so help me out:corn: . i want to maximize these springs and they are fairly flat. i set the front hangers with a very slight angle on the shackle. the springs are very squishy:redneck: but as the truck squats the shackle barely moves leading me to believe i can allow more shackle angle at ride. as it is i get 36 1/2 inches of tape messure under the right rear tire without any of the other tires lifting. what do you guys think?

oldbeercans · Mar 20, 2008

and some more. the one of the shackle is just the spring no axle. to me it seems like if i add more angle it will allow for more droop. the shackle barely swings back under suspension compresion. am i right or wrong?:eeek:

rooinater · Mar 20, 2008

looking good.

Dieselbreath · Mar 20, 2008
