Here's a great little chart for T.R.E's if you're making custom steering.

My $35.00 purchase WITH good u-joints.

More goodies in the mail today. Stainless braided brake hoses and true 1 ton t.r.e.'s. The brake hoses come with weld or bolt on relocation brackets.

Nope. I stupidly sold it to a member on here bc I never thought I'd need it lol. SO, I'll just use my 7/8" reamer and use RuffStuff's inserts.

Heck yea dude! They even delivered it. lol

This is SORT of a budget build. Whereas, I find the highest quality parts, and then find them the cheapest...

Where'd you get the brake hoses at and how much did they set you back?

SVT

 

[brinker88]

Rough Country. They were $75 for the set. DOT approved as well. They're actually for a Jeep Cherokee.

Yea buddy! Progress!!! I also changed the lower shock mount from the stud mount to a through bolt. I think it's stonger. Also welded a 1/4" thick washer for reinforcement on the ballistic joint mount. Had to modify the bracket to accept the 2-5/8" joints as the dipshits didnt send me the right ones ( I ordered the 2-3/8" wide ones. )

Looking good!. About ready to do the swap?

 

[brinker88]

Im shooting for the end of August to begine the swap. I should have everything ready by then.

Shock mounts got delivered today. Still waiting on front shocks, 1 t.r.e, and drop brackets. Should all show up this week. Next paycheck will be the Ruffstuff order to finish my stonecrusher steering and coil springs. The week after that will be the beginning of the transformation
