lifting the rear of my b2

I'd put the spiders back in and weld it, 8.8 mini spools dont have a very good reputation.

you are the first and only person to say that........

Someone on B2.org had noticed his fatiguing when he had the cover off as well, thread is gone since it was so long ago however.

well since we are on the topic, i anticipate never breaking a shaft with 33s so is there a good reason why i cant weld up that square insert to the sides that sit on the splines? i do completely understand that if i break a shaft i am most likely fucked every way possible because i assume that prevents me from removing the c-clips. i did not inspect it closely before i installed the rear end since it was already together but i do know thats the setup i have.

the thread comes back to LIFE!

ok, after 2 days and some trial and error i came up with the right leaf pack to level the back of the b2. stock replacement shackle and hanger for the rear, 2 longest leafs from a newer ranger pack, 3 leafs from the yj or cj FRONT packs i scored for a 12 pack and 1 short add-a-leaf. it appears to be just over and inch higher in the rear but should settle down to being almost level after a little driving. i only am anticipating an inch because none of the springs are new so they are already worn in. i will be getting pictures once i get close to completion and have some time. i am shooting for a day trip to jeepskool 18th or 19th of October. anyone in the area is welcome just go to jeepskool.com if you are interested.
