made cheap shackles for the rear and put a 2 inch coil spacer up front and cut the fenders (shouldve never done, ill show you why later) all pics with 35 bfgs no rub at all in the front but rubbed like a bi**h in the rear especially with people in the back seat haha

Looks great! What are the plans?

 

[ltuck808]

so heres the sas part all the parts that i ordered and through together. did jeep dana 30 and dana 35 axles front and rear, 4.88 gears welded rear end and spartan locker up front. do the math on the gears and locker alone and you almost got a grand, with the axles probably 1200 all together. i bought for 400 soon to have chromolys in the front. btw the guy threw in about 200 dollar steering with the axles..for free. i used toyota rear leaf springs (3rd gen push it about 4 inches forward on a toyota sas, well i put my hanger where i wanted..all the way up! haha) and a trail gear toyota front spring hanger. remember the cherokee dana 30s have A BUNCH of coil bull shit and i have no torch.. went through 15!!! cut off wheels. i have to pull everything back out and paint it also. i havent done shocks yet either but i have the shock hoops and 14" belstiens. should work well. i had to get perches front and rear obivously and build my own drivelines which i didnt get pics of im pretty proud of em. sorry pics and all arent in order its hard since ive already done so much but from here on out ill stay up to date
