no its not really street legal. tires stick out too far for louisiana... i never got messed with in new mexico or florida though.

 

[dburton07]

Whats the limit down there? I think up here it's over 2 inches past the fender and they'll bag you for it.

Same here in Germany bro....
Had a couple of Germans look at some of us weird the other day when I went with a couple of people out to the woods to cut down some Christmas trees....We had my B2300, a 2001 Ranger that is lifted 4", a Dodge Ram Quad Cab, and a lifted F-250....

flippin sweet.
looks like your leafs flex more than enough.
Can I ask what you are running front and rear?
Also whats your wheel base, and how far did you move the front and rear axles?

 

[NMB2]

Im running trail-gear 3" leafs front and rear. the front is stretched forward 4" and the rear is stretched back 5.5" for a total wheelbase of about 103.5". Oh and in case you were asking about axles front and rear, the front is a 97 Dana60. 5.13 spooled, 35spline inners, 35spline 4340 outers, warn premiums, full hydro, custom histeer, ballistic cover. The rear is a Semi-float D60, 5.13 spooled, 4340 35spline shafts, ballistic cover.

 

[crawlin91]

Thanks, so did you move the the stock rear hangar and shakcle mount back 5.5" for the rear axle or is part of the stretch the offset of the leafsprings?
what are you using for shakcles? I have a lot of interest in this project as it its tough and looks to perform rather well. My BII is begging for it.

ps are those 40's?

 

[NMB2]

haha, I wish i just had a build thread on TRS to reference! Um, actually i moved the shackle hanger forward and chopped off alot of the frame, the stretch is all in the different offset of the leafs. Im using a different brand equiv. of the belltech 6400 in the rear and i made my own in the front.


this is what it looked like after putting the leafs in with the Stock B2 locations, by the way the toyota leafs are the same length as the B2 leafs.. 57"
