Thought I would add some of the earlier pics before the SAS...
30's and 3" JD lift
32's
35's
Took a couple of weeks to complete. 1979 D44
Mock up with 5.5 Wildhorse springs
Modified JD buckets
4.88's and Lockrite
Complete disc to disc
1989 F150 8.8
Gotta set the pinion angle and add brakes and shocks. Not a fan of blocks but new springs are not in the budget..
Back on her wheels!
Little more progress today... :thumby: Just waiting for the steering and the new axle shaft to show up.
Pinion angle set, just gotta check for bind at full droop. And yes I know I need a new muffler...Jack stand incident!!
New brake lines installed
Little more work done. Made new rear brake lines and checked driveshaft angle at full droop. Right at the 30 degrees Tom Woods recommends! With my anti-wrap bar on, the joint at the pinion should be straight.
More progress...
I got the front d-shaft mounted and modified the x-member. Looking at the angles, a double cardan shaft is in the future! Ran into one problem, I bought a 1310 yoke from BGY and they sent me a 1330...which I already had . I didnt pay attention and installed it. To my suprise yesterday I had a u-joint issue. I ended up with a bastard u-joint in the front 1310-1330 joint aka Spicer 5-134X. Just waiting on the steering and trac-bar bracket.
Got the steering and trac-bar done. Just need an alignment and some longer shocks. 7/8" Heim joints, 1 1/2" .250 wall DOM tubing for the tie rod and drag link!
A few pics of the test run...at the Hammers! Ran great...but I would like to extend the radius arms quite a bit...
Here are the most recent pics of the B2, I have done a few mods to her for the Ultimate Adventure. Getting ready for the trip, I swapped in a 4.0. Installed beadlocks on my wheels and added Goodyear MTR's. Replaced the POS Milemarker winch with a Warn and added a stinger. I like the new look. However, after the trip...I now have lots of things to fix and upgrade!
