IIRC your coils are going to be to soft and short for me, what is the spring rate of them???

IIRC your coils are going to be to soft and short for me, what is the spring rate of them???

superlift 112 coils. 3.5" lift.
I think they are a 300 or 320 PPI. Might wanna verify that tho. I'm trying to find it now.

the xj coils I had were stupid soft at 150 PPI but I traded those for some 45 acp brass

Well, little update. I got the bed off again to fix the cross member. I got the old one cut out and should have the new one made tomorrow night. Then some cleaning and some paint and I'll set the bed back on. I alsogalsogot my 35 torn apart. Should get the gears setup this weekend if all my parts come in. I'm replacing the wheel bearings/seals, spindle bearings/seals, ball joints, axle pivot bushings and getting double adjustable alignment bushings. Am I forgetting anything???
Oh, and by the way my super runner kit showed up today!!!!
I'm super pumped. Hopefully I'll get her going shortly!!!

Im not sure on your gen but 2wd and 4wd radius arms are different from what i know

 

[Beef52751]

I'll probably just cut mine up to extend them. Shouldn't take long to do as soon as I get all the pieces ready.

Ordering a ratech install kit for the gears. I'm going to order it tomorrow. Got the cross member installed tonight. Just need a few bolts and another coat of paint on the frame then the bed will go back on. Starting to make progress slowly but surely. Front axle and pics come next

Trucks lookin good man. I like it.

 

[Beef52751]

Got the frame, springs, and rear axle painted. Bed back on. Getting ready to tear the front axle apart. I was looking at ballistic joints for the radius arms. I think im going to get the forged joints with the poly bushings, unless im told not to for some reason but the seem like the best option for a truck that spends alot of time on the street. Are they getting any better with getting orders out?

Ordered a set of 5.25" 200 watt speakers for the dash tonight. I am finishing up the door panels now. Ill post pics when I'm done. Made the panels out of black aluminium and they turned out pretty good

 

[Beef52751]

Here is a preview of the door panel.
