disciplerocks's B2 build thread

[B2Guy]

Yeah it was just an idea I was throwing around.

yea, i used to have a 01 explorer and for a while i just had about 4"s of lift and 33's i used to hit the ubolts and shock mounts on a ton of rocks. i eventually went with a sas to cure the problem haha...

Just some prices for those that are curious.

Superlift brackets $100

brake lines and tee $35

entire D35 axle including manual hubs, calipers, radius arms, driveshaft, and steering linkage $90

entire 8.8 explorer axle including drums, driveshaft, and core $70

shortened front drivshaft and new u-joint $42

thats come good deals man! are you lookin to buy extended arms or build your own?

 

[disciplerocks]

I dont know. Manufactured ones are pricey and I don't own a welder.

 

[B2Guy]

i dont have a welder either. im just collecting all the pieces cutting everything and bringing everything to a local shop to get it all welded up.

do you have any pictures of the extended brake lines you got from autozone? id like to see them.

 

[disciplerocks]

I will shoot one with my phone and load it later.

 

[B2Guy]

sounds good man. thanks. good luck with the build.

 

[disciplerocks]

Here is the passenger brake line.

 

[disciplerocks]

Spring perches welded. Thanks again Greg. You can see where they used to be.

Picked up new u bolts for the larger axle, axle fluid and a new u-joint for the rear driveshaft.
And just for fun....what my truck would look like with 33s

 

[B2Guy]

yea. im going to have to look into getting those brake lines mine are not long enough as it is and after my arms are extended they deff. wont be.

whos 33s?

 

[disciplerocks]

Greg's (97TrailRigDD) And if you get them brake lines, you have to get a tee for the drivers side. Part number BLF-58C.

 

[B2Guy]

alright. thanks!

 

[disciplerocks]

8.8 in and almost ready to drive. Ran into some driveshaft problems. I am hoping I don't have to have a new one made.

Both axles together.

 

[disciplerocks]

Did a google search on the u-joint that I needed to make it work. Found several sites that all said to use 1-0134. Just got back from Autozone and I don't think it is going to work either. Still too big.

 

[disciplerocks]

Apparently the joints in my shaft are 1210. So now what do I do?
