thats it
Well I got the doubler stuff in. Its clean nice work, I think its much better than Mad Rooster's. This friday its off to the junkyard to find a 231c HD and a 23 spline 231
pics!
ok here they are

well I ordered some chromo front stub shafts today, and soon I will order some Warn Chromo inners w/ 760-x ujoints and full circle clips
ok, so now that i will be putting the cases in there, I have decided that it is also going to need some more whellbase. Say around 103". I think i am going to use some cherokee springs and french that hangers into the framerails.
It should handle alot better with the leafs than the crappy 4link as well
If you're being sarcastic, it isn't funny.
:flipoff2:
no, I really want to do it this way. Im not being sarcastic,

ahh
Here's an idea. Say you want a 10" stretch. Measure how long the stock links are, and make new ones 10" longer. Then move the track bar and coil buckets back. It'll work alot better than leaf springs, and likely actually be on the low side of antisquat.
I thought about that too,

yeah, thats the problem with moving the buckets, Ide have to chop off the frame and build a new one. Not something I would do or have the time to do on a DD
you don't have to make a new rear clip the kick just needs to be moved back. if you buy a fuel cell, lengthening the stock clip would be a weekend deal if you had good mig
mount the coils to the controll arms, leave the upper buckets where they are
what about your bump travel?
Don't know if this is a good idea or not, but I've seen it done a few times.
That works good if you don't mind having a ton of lift. as you can see the coil bucket it probably 2-3 inches lower than stock. I don't want that much lift, or to have to go back to short coils.
do you want the mains back from those cherokee packs you gave me? I've been carrying them around for you :D
is there not room to inboard the coils on those? What about air shocks?
yeah, if you aren't using those mains I love to use them.
I really just don't want to build a link sususpension right now

wait, what am i saying, i get joy from seeing you trash your jeep. go ahead!
The jeep may look trashed but underneath everything is well taken care of. I drove it 20,000 miles since I have put the lift on it and I haven't had a single problem except one rear u-joint from wrong pinion angle.
i may have missed this in the previous pages. why do yuo want to put leaves on it and get rid of the stock design suspension with future plans of a 4 link. is it just for more wheelbase? why not deal with it until your ready for the 4 link?
well it has to do with more wheelbase and more importantly more driveshaft after I but the doubler in. I will probably get the cherokee main leaves back from Eric and then just pick up random springs from the junkyard
ghetto
4 links are easy, do it now.
well, i picked up my dana 300 yesterday and an optima red top. I also just got the Banks Exhaust for the TJ
ok, ive got the doubler together, I just need to weld the side piece in. I also have the 300 torn down and put back together, all of the bearings, races and gears look good.
Now all I need to do is figue out what I want to do for shifters and paint both of them.
I also need CV yokes but Chreokee yokes will fit so just need to get some of those from the junkyard.
i guess when I told bob to pick out a good 300 he did just that. Sorry to be so short with you, but I had to be somewhere, so I hope you didn't think I was brushing you out in a hurry the other day.

Change the dust covers with the stock ones.
So I assume you flipped el 300? How'd you go about that?
well the flip was really easy, I picked it up and turned it over.
yeah, not a problem fred, there was some nasty gear lube in there though but it cleaned up good

ok so after some reasearch I have come up w/ a very interesting and unique way to shift my 300
If I wasn't so ****in tired and it wasn't so late, I would stay up for the brief on this, but I am out like a light in Falujah. Peace fools :flipoff2:
Build shifters to go around driveshaft?Quote:
