maaaan oh man i can't get to get to torching my truck up!


same tires and size I'm wanting to run.

well if i used a tourch it would of been cut up in a day i would say dont use an angle gringer with a cut off disk will take too long but then it would have also helped if i have more time to work on it only the weekends dont work they are too short but it does help when it is in your driveway ive moved it three times the 2nd time cost me too much two tow trucks first one got stuck too many times with my truck on it with no front end the last time just for a flat bed

just need to know a few things i want to know what people are running for the caster angle on the front then what the pinon angles on the front axle and rear axle are

that would help me out so much thanks Adam

Me too! Kinda nice to get an idea of what mine will look like done... looks purdy

If the fronts out of an early Bronco then why go lo leafs? Truck is looking good though.

Thats as tall as you're going to make it?

Cut the fenders and it will look better, I plan to cut mine and run 35's.

The front hangers need some bracing in the worst way. That square tubing that you're using for a 'spacer' is in its weakest orientation.

As for caster, I like to run 7-10°, but you might be able to get way with as little as 4-5°. Anything more than 10° and you can get some pretty serious 'jacking' which will require additional steering force to turn the tires.

Opps. Sorry I was reading the wrong thread.

That truck looks awsome!!! Wish I had the money and the knowledge to do a SAS on my truck.

you have given me a great idea of what mine will look like, we have the same color truck and I am about to start the sas on mine tomorrow. Truck looks great

i went with leafs just because it was easyer with a 99 ranger because there are no coil buckets. also it is alittle easyer for me because this is my first time doing a sas

i am going to brace the front hangers just have been working on getting the rear end in and get it level so i can get back to the front
