Andres629's still at it! '87 BII this time!

[shawn.m]

just read the whole thread- did you shorten the shock towers? I have a set and yours look a little shorter than mine.

also could you post a picture of how you mounted the sliders to the frame? Looking for ideas when i build mine on how to mount them

Got some pichers for ya.

pulled the trans. today, didn't get to work on it at all this weekend. M5OD will be going in tomorrow.

Nope, didn't shorten the shock towers or coil buckets. There are F-250 shock mounts welded to the coil bucket in place of the factory shock mount though. They were cut up and then the F-250 one was welded to it.

get it together yet? im dying to see pics

 

[Andres629]

Nah, barely got to work on it at all this week, getting some overtime in at work to make up for the time off after Christmas.
I'm working all weekend too, so I'll have er done next week I hope...

 

[Andres629]

Well got a few pics. Got to work on it here and there last week, got a half day in today. She's getting there. These pics are (mostly) all from either this week or last week. Should have 'er all buttoned up tomorrow.

There's a tire on there!

She now moves under her own power. Need to align it something fierce, but at least it moves. The rear end came apart mostly today, just need to cut the old spring bolts off and drop the leaves and shackles. Belltech 6400's and Expo leaves on tomorrow!

love it!

 

[Andres629]

Thanks Jeff! She's coming along... I will say she looks sweeeeeeeet at this height! I almost want to go down a half-3/4" though.

Looking sick buddy!

<--that is all

so how much lift is this? and them are the 35s right? looks good

 

[railman]

lookin' Killer.....

i would leave just a little positive camber so that when the springs settle you will have it spot on.....

l8r, John

 

[Andres629]

Ahh crap, I thought I posted after stealthranger. This is approximately 4.5" of lift with 35's. I got the rear springs and shackle on yesterday and with them, it sits level, so that's cool.

Yep, I'm going to leave about 1 degree positive camber on it I think.

looking good man

 

[Andres629]

She's done! Too dark for pictures, but first thing in the morning, I swear.

 

[Andres629]

I lied, my dad got a couple with their camera earlier. Here she sits!

Still need to align it, and the guy I got to mount up the tires stuck them inside the rim on the outer bead, so I need to get that broken and put outside so I can mount up my outer ring for the beadlock, but she's done!! Now I just install my onboard air stuff and in goes the ARB.
