BORED.. went and played in 2wd

compleckz · Sep 22, 2007

so i've got 4.56's in the front and stock 3.27s in the rear.. i just got my 4.56s put in an explorer axle, which is waiting to go in, after a little :icon_welder:

my girlfriend was off at a wedding, so i decided to go play with myself in 2wd.
:nopityA:

oh yeah, crazy flex machine. :thefinger:

back home, did some hardcore 2wd muddin' coming off the powerlines.. :icon_hornsup:

oh and one with the $300 rallycar/dailydriver/trailscout

nothing real impressive, and no action shots since i was alone, but these are a few of the pics i liked. also the pics were taken with my cell phone, so they are only 2MP..

Nice man. How much of ift do you got. I got a 6'' SJ calss II and thy look the same. Also what size tires. We both have BFG A/T's? Also I saw you have a shackle on the front of your bumber. How did you put that on? I need one for towing or when I get stuck cuz the stock bumber I don't wanna be pullin' from it.

i've got the same kit as you with a few exceptions: i have sj 8" lift coils in the front, and sj 6" lift leaves in the rear, with the stock block, and belltech shackles.. so a total of 8" in the rear and about 6-7" in the front..

the tires are 33x12.5 bfg ats.. i got them wicked cheap ($450 brand new, on rims), when my old m/ts ran out.. i plan to get some 33-35 swampers of some sort for offroad, and then run the a/ts daily/winter.. or get some 33-35 m/t's again and run them daily, then run the a/ts in the winter.. either way, it just hasnt been a big priority while the truck has been 2wd...

oh i forgot to tell u about the shackle on the front, its a just a bolt-on 'hidden hitch' with a receiver d-ring shackle..

heres a pic before i cut the bumper valance to fit over the hitch:

i got both front/rear hitches for recovery, since i dont have fab/welding skills, so i cant make a bumper for myself.. i knew it would be awhile before i did anything with my bumpers. i've used both front and rear hitches for pulling/being pulled many times.

Ya, I was doing a lot of thinking last night about how to lift it 8''. I knew to lift it 8'' put the factory block under the leafs. Cuz when I was installing the rear leafs the directions didn't say to leave or keep the factory block, so I went with my gut feeling, and put the factory block under it, After I got it all done and the U-bolts tight and tires down, then when I lowered the jack I knew it wasn't right cuz the rear sat up way higher than the front. Also for the front I was thinking I could put like 1.5'' or 2'' washer under the the coil or get 8'' coils. I just don't know if I should put more of a sus lift on it cuz the angles of the drive shafts.

The front allreadt clunks with the 6''.

To make something stout, so I can pull off I was looking at my bumper all I'm gonna do is use the bumper brakets and drill hole in a piece of angle iron, and weld a squar tube off it, then bolt it on the bumper brakets. That can fit on a shakle, and have that sticking out in that hole in the bumber right in the middle. I have a ball in the rear on my bumper I think that is good enough to be tow or get pulled out with. I don't need a hitch I don't do any heavy duty pulling like big trailers. I rarely pull.

i wouldnt recommend pulling or getting pulled out by a ball on your bumper.. its generally accepted as a BAD idea..

BORED.. went and played in 2wd
