Hmmm, the front calipers are rubbing the wheels, grind the factory caliper or just get some spacers?

spacers, you'd have to grind too much off the caliper

Are you using factory wheels?

Nope, Rock Krawler 152, 15x8 wheels with 3.5in back spacing. I bought them before I decided to do all of this. Easier to pay shipping on spacers than 5 new wheels

. Nickle and dime, nickle and dime. Not sure how much I would have to grind away on the caliper to keep them from hitting.

Ordered the 1.5 inch Trail Gear spacers from egay. $165 shipped.

Installed my Trail Gear 1.5 in spacers per installation instructions.

Strapped on the wheels and dragged it out into the 30 degree sunshine.

Thanks Lane.

As I wait to get my flaring kit in I took care of one small thing tonight:

Busted bolts. Top one was easy, the bottom one not so much. Broke an extractor in the bottom, and 3 brill bits trying to fix that.

fawk ya chris, looking good :awesomework:

Kyle and Pokey stopped in, had monster in hand..liquid motivation. Leaf springs are in the correct corners now. Tie Rod and relay rod are measured to FSM specs. Need to get some new bolts and nuts for the clamps. It is sitting pretty now. Cleaning up the drag link tomorrow. Need to get the pitman arm off the old manual steering gear box. Then I can figure out the exact mounting of the mini truck power steering gear box with the cleaned up drag link and pitman arm.

I was just going to ask you if you were putting mini-truck power steering on. I have a complete setup sitting in the garage. Worked great on mine prior to switching to Saginaw. Are you going to run an aftermarket steering stabilizer? I have one that is hardly used.

I have not even looked that far ahead. Guess I should search out my options. What were you using?

I have the one that mounts in the factory location only it's a Bushwacker or something. You can barely see it in the pic that Kyle posted.

Great pic BTW Kyle!
