pirate, search and read and when you think you understand read some more

[AggieTJ2007]

its actually pretty simple on a jeep like yours.

for the front copy the Poly 3 link w/ track bar.

for the rear you can do alot of different things but search and download the 4 link calculator, and take measurements of where you can put things on the frame, where you can put links on the axles

make a few small adjustments and you have a 4 link. It is not quite that easy so just read, but if you need any help ask me after i get back from Colorado and I will tell you how mine works/ what I would change.

Oh FYI 4 links are expensive, at least $1000+ an axle in joints, tube, brackets ect.

I think you gotta stretch it a bit if you want to keep the radiator in front. Don't think it's that hard to do (extend fenders and hood) but probably not worth it. With the x-cab you could probably also just move the seats back and tub out the firewall. Otherwise you know the drill: 60/14 or rockwells, atlas or stak, 44" cut boggers

As long as there is no faggoty propane involved, it can be done.

Relocate the Radiator and batteries to the bed, but that is a Huge frickin block, going where the 3.Slow was. I have a buddy with a 350 in a single cab 80's model truck and the IFS trucks engine compartment is a bit bigger. I don't see why not...

After running my truck on the 'gas of the gods', I will never again have a rig w/ out it.

This will be on our truck that ended up 'nearly' in the creek. There will be no bed on it (some type of tube bed will be made w/ the cage) and will probably have to chop the top off to get rid of the damage. With no bed, it should be pretty easy to move the radiator and batteries to the back. I was thinking a 203/205 doubler w/ the 'green 60/14's. I may try the pitbulls out, or a combo of TSLs and Boggers. I would like to make this a 'gofast' truggy that could run in something like KOH or the like.

these can't possibly weigh 300lbs, can they?

How much does a 2'x2.5'x10" block of concrete weigh?
I am pretty sure I need these, I'm just not sure what for

google says anywhere from 80-160lbs per cu ft depending upon aggregate type so they could well be that or much more.

edit: if you believe wiki/yahoo answers, but they pretty much have same info.

[uglyota]

sweet thanks. So do I need them? And do I need them worse than I need a sore back?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Maybe a cheap pad to park a truck or boat on, or retaining wall/flower bed. I would say no though if you don't already have a plan for them.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

We always figured 4k lbs per cubic yard so 150/ ft3 is pretty close.
