Gonna work in some beefy front bump stops?

I have no clue what to due with the front? I can get 3 inch lift spindles for 300. Or get longer springs. Or mount some air shocks (not nitrogens, the kind like off an old Cougar) to the upper a arms and make some sweet shock hoops.

Pretty much my thoughts are to be nice to the front end. I hope.:redneck:

If it gets to the point of needing new stops, it will get either parted and crushed, or gutted and longer tube A armed.

It's a dune runner, you need twin I beams. And I just happen to have a couple setups in the backyard. :corn:

Sure...START A NEW BUILD BEFORE YOU FINISH YOUR OTHER ONE

I did this with a 76 Datsun pickup auto, I shortened the frame 12" and moved the engine and cab back so you ride over the rear axle , you want more weight on the rear and less on the front so the rear tires always stay on the ground

Its the ADD inside me.:haha:

My buddies give me **** all the time and tell me I have too many projects. they tell me to get rid of some of them and concentrate on just one. I CANT!!

Funny part is I have got more done on 14 different rigs in one year than the guys giving me **** have done on one project in 6 years. (and built other folks **** too)

This thing is just filler, something to do thats not serious or hitech. All parts are bought and paid for too. Just something for fun!:beer:

I know what yer sayin, but im worried about it hookin up too good and being a turd. If I can keep it light enough in the back I think it might get a little more wheel speed/spin and be better.:redneck:

but yeah Im worried about it just plowing the front cuz it weighs too much up front. And not turnin with a welded diff if it gets light up there.

Did you ever have yours in the sand? what did you think, howed it work?:cheer:

I know. I see them the most at Sandlake too! I never paid much attention to them before. Now that I have one I cant find any picks to compare to.

Wish I had taken more pics of trashy rigs and noted how they performed! I have so many questions. Im just gonna have to waste a trip and see what ****s up and what works before building stuff that dont work.

At sandlakes I always see the blue blazer from lakewood wa, and the chev truck that runs around with the 69 camaro that has paddles and hoosiers on it. I think the truck only runs 4 hoosiers.

No rules, just cool junk!!:beer:
