How much uptravel do you have??

I have 3" up travle at ride height, lol. Hoping to be improved by about 2", lol when I v8 this pig. I want to loose some body lift but I wont know how much till after the v8 swap. My plan is to lower the suspension a couple inches as well when the v8 swap goes down. I'd like to be down to 4" sus and 1.5-2" bl once the smoke clears. The front diff goes ahead a few more inches and the rear goes back a couple inches and it all goes down a few inches, lol. I'm thinking about tubbing the rear fenderwells some more too.

Ahh, yeah I hear ya! I wish I could keep this pig lower, but alas... I can't. 20" belly is about as low as I want to keep it, plus I have 6" uptravel and I've got about a 1/4-1/2" body lift... approximately, anyway. I got rid of the factory rubber body mounts and replaced them with cut down body lift pucks to solid mount the body. The rear is getting chopped up to the body line and straight back, removing the tail lights in order to move the rear end back 5-6" and accommodate 6-7" uptravel.

Sick build!!

I literally just sat and looked through all 43 pages of this thread straight. Awesome job and I can't wait to see it finished up. Definitely gave me some ideas for my ranger that's for sure.

 

[Andres629]

Well... you're not going to see it finished unfortunately. I kind of had to get rid of it and start over with something else. So, give a click on my "Back in the Game" link in my sig to see what I'm working on!
