pissed with the springs today, up front i got a XJ main, Fullsize chevy main below that, and 2 zr2 springs on the bottom.

as for flex, ill let the pics show you!

so i think its getting there, i went for a little trail ride to test it out, since i havent driven it since i bought my rocket.

whatta ya think?

the fact that you are pulling your front shackles past vertical means you need longer ones.

***Donahue*** · 07-04-2008, 05:07 PM

they could stand to have a lot more angle too. mine are kicked back more at ride hight than yours are at full compression.

Tim99Zr2 · 09-08-2008, 09:51 PM

weeeeeelp i ruined my second auto tranny.

next big update is a 5spd swap.

picking up my donor truck sometime (hopefully soon) 200 bucks got me everything i needed.

i lack on updates!

wrekd · 09-08-2008, 10:21 PM

I probably wont be too far behind ya on that one. My trans just doesnt seem right. But if it does, its just an opportunity to upgrade to something better. So I really dont care if it goes.

haro2289 · 09-08-2008, 10:21 PM

aww that sucks man i know how much you love your truck. But 5spd's are the shit I wish mine had it.

98-LS-lifted · 09-08-2008, 10:23 PM

wish I still had mine

yea, this tranny was never right since i put it in. it wouldnt shift right when it got hot.

and for some reason when im in 4 LO it doesnt seem like it shifts out of first.

5 spds FTMFW!! wonder how hard this swap will be..?

***Donahue*** · 09-09-2008, 01:42 AM

ChrisInVT · 09-09-2008, 11:38 AM

For free, that's completely incapable of moving under it's own power

Baggey22 · 09-09-2008, 01:14 PM

It's also missing skid plates and all driveshafts

ChrisInVT · 09-09-2008, 01:55 PM

Let me know when you decide. I just got done pulling out my t-case about 20 mins ago. If you dont want that one, im not even pulling this one apart to fix the leak.

Is the shifter assembly and console there with it???

All Chevy 231's from 88-97 have the 1.25" chain. Jeeps are the only ones that use the 1" chain.
