Re: Post Pics of Your Ride!

Heres my 88 4x4. i put a 350 in it, a 3" body lift, 3" torsion keys and a 5" TM lift. I used the soa kit that came with the TM lift and then put blocks on it. Cleared 38.5's great with no rubbing at all. But due to overheating problems with the small block i only got to drive it about two days.



Changed my mind anyway and im going SFA w/ dana 60's front and rear.

8" SFA to come this spring will look like this. Already turning the knuckles cutting the front Dana44 as we speak. Using Tuff Country full size chevy leaf springs up front and a NP241 transfer case to make my 2WD into 4x4. 265/70R17 BFGoodrich All-Terrain's on 17" Cragar Soft 8's.

Yep...this is still a daily driver so 31.8" is as big as the tires get. It's still going to be spring over, but the tuff country springs are 2" lift, compared to the 4-8" most guys go after.

Re: Post Pics of Your Ride!

Why are you going Chevy D44? You wouldn't have had to cut and turn the knuckles if you would have stayed with a HP Ford D44. I've got 12"+ (not including the body lift) and 37s and I didnt have to cut and turn at all.

Wagoneer D44. I know what you have as I see you all the time on S10extremist. Brent has been helping me turn the knuckles to set the caster at 5* and have the pinion set at the same time.

Re: Post Pics of Your Ride!

Oh ok, well thats cool. I was just wondering because a high pinion axle makes driveline angles and all so much easier. If you don't intend to lift the truck a ton more, you should be in good shape. And don't get me wrong, you will have NO strength concerns, I would just almost go with a HP D44 and shorten it (if width is your concern) before anything else only if you think you might ever go higher. Let us know how your truck turns out. If it looks like that picture, it should look great. I mentioned Chevy axle because that picture shows a passenger drop axle up front.

If BFG made an All-Terrain tire that fits a 17x8" rim that's no more than 11" wide but 33" tall, I would. I'm in Minnesota, wide tires are the devil in snow. Plus I got a deal on the 265/70R17's for only $105 a piece, new, so I ordered 5 just now. The rendering makes it look like a centered differential, waggy is a driver side.

Edit: Oh, Also...I'm only using 3.73's front and rear for better fuel economy on the highway. This is no mud queen.

just personal opinion, thats a lot of work to be puttin into a daily thats not gunna see mud or dirt. i'd save the time, money, and effort and just go with lift spindles springs and soa in the rear and run 31s. just my 2 cents though. afterall the point of an sas is to make it more offroad capable isnt it? no offense meant at all in this post... just personal opinion thats all

Re: Post Pics of Your Ride!

Thats a good point. If I wasn't going to go over 33s I probably wouldn't have ever put axles underneath it. Once you take off stock-type applications, it never rides the same, etc.

Re: Post Pics of Your Ride!

I agree completely, that's what my HHR is for. A real daily.

But this will be my hunting truck that I tow with, take through cornfields and beanfields, plow with...do what a truck is meant to do. I don't mind the work involved. The only reason it needs a somewhat soft suspension compared to a monster's like NC4x4 is because I drive a good hour to the hunting spot.

Re: Post Pics of Your Ride!

once again my opinion haha. sorry i have more than just 2 cents... i'd just keep this one as your actual daily and buy a 4x4 to go huntin with. can easily put 31s on it and it'll be 4x4 and ya wont have half as much work as sasing your current truck. also a fullsize might suit your application better esp for plowing. then you'll have the v8 too!
