88 b2 crawler build

Side shot. You caqn see how much I pushed my axle forward. New Locker is suppose to finally ship today, not sure if it will. Ordered it last week. 34 10.5s on it in this pic but I just bought 36 14.5s so hope to get those on soon. I need rear spring ideas. What are people using for decent lift like 3 inch and good flex. I have 2 inch blocks too.

Shackle angle looks a bit steep itll make highway driving suck.Id slide the shackle mount back and up about roughly an 1" (1/2" back 1/2" up). You will loose some droop but lots of droop and little uptravel makes highway life hell I tried it once and yeah no never again.

Also you said you had a square tube driveshaft? Take it out until you get lockouts, they dont balance well and will ruin your pinion seal at minimum.

I didnt read what axle you 30 came out of but if you put TJ shafts in it you get a u joint almost identical to a d44.

try trail gear toyota springs

The square tube only goes in when I'm on the trail. And yeah they're super long shackles. But that's why I was asking about rear lift springs. Just found out my locker won't ship till Monday. I ordered rhis thing over a week ago. Never doing business with this place again

Do you have any closer pictures of the leaf and shackle hangers? Also did you run a cross member between the front hangers?

 

[ltuck808]

Front leaf and shackles or rear? And I bought a trail gear spring hanger for a Toyota sas and made it work. It has a crossmember on it

work looks pretty good man!
but dang thats a lot of leafs!!!!

 

[brinker88]

I dont like how that front crossmember/hanger assy is welded on... Needs some reinforcement IMHO.

 

[ltuck808]

Thanks for the conpliment and yeah I think its a 7 pack. And there is gonna be tube on top of the hanger inside the frame rails with a stinger coming off that

 

[n_bannerman]

Thanks that does. How do you like the toy leafs?

 

[ltuck808]

They're super soft but flex awesome. I need to get 16" shocks for the front. My 12"s max out really easy

Thanks to adsm08 I got new door parts so I can finally roll my window down again

300 dollars and 3!! WEEKS! after I ordered it, finally showed up today. Also got the titanium center pin and ne thrust washers with the locker

And just another pic of my 36 14.5 15 tsl's I picked up for 550.

All this should be installed this weekebd and I can finally see how it drives on the road!
