Love how things just kinda fall off the rig...from together to gone in a flash! :redneck:

And full leathers make it much nicer and less burns on the legs,lol.

Ha ha! "Now you see it, now you don't"

The frame rails are stripped of all un needed items and prepped for the next step

 

[crash2]

So with the kit you also must toss the stock rear crossmember(bolted in) that used to hold the spare tire. Way back when I built the rear bumper I added a receiver and tied it into the crossmember. Well thats gotta change.

 

[crash2]

For ease of removal I cut the member out in 3 pieces. For the center I lopped off the top of the receiver. Worked like a champ.

 

[crash2]

Both frame plates burned in. The rear portion simply clamps to the extruded portion of the inner frame and where they ended at the front I recessed them 1/8" into the frame rail. Not my purdiest welding but will be super strong.

 

[crash2]

The kit comes with 2 pieces of 1.5" to add a cross member back where the old one was and the front will be for shock mounts. I simply tied the reciever into it--now its super strong.

Now I am ready to get the spring buckets lined up and get a housing setup.

 

[CRAWLERH19]

Is that exhaust going to get in the way?

 

[crash2]

I don't think so---if it is--I got a sawzall :redneck:

One thing I always do it do an alignment bar for the rear measured off the original diff.

 

[crash2]

Something I found was the bushings too long for the shackle mount. I just shaved down one side to get a perfect fit.

 

[crash2]

Working on getting the rear end setup.

They called for 90 degree shackles but I ran them at 10 degrees.

 

[CRAWLERH19]

Looking good man!

 

[crash2]

Now that the springs are all setup time to whack the perches off and get the housing done.

 

[crash2]

Pinion set and perches tacked into place.

 

[crash2]

Perches burned in and I stripped the housing of all brackets... Love doing it to where ya never knew anything was attached to it.
