still plugging along. glad to have cooler weather.
high steer is fine on chevy or dodge knuckles, Id leave em stock bs. how else did you plan on doing the steering? crossover steering probably won't clear the leafs without at least high mounted draglink
I'm planning to run high steer, but the wheels will rub the stock steering mount on the knuckles if I don't change something. I was also looking at the rear tonight and became a little more concerned about tires rubbing the frame without different backspacing.
Just hack em off with a torch like Davido.
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"

Pictures of the front 60 sitting under it. Almost in position, I had things measured out then I bumped it and it almost came off a jack stand.
It looks like I'm back to thinking the old suspension will work. I think I can put heims on both ends of the uppers and hook them up to something like the front truss Blue Torch makes. Some coil/lower control arm mounting with involve welding to the diff this way, but I think this would probably happen with anything but leaves.
Side views and the pitman arm/track bar position as they sit.
Ballistic fab makes some nice brackets and not to badly priced. I have the radius arm brackets and they are well designed
These look pretty good, but I don't know how they'll work on the pass. side of this axle.
Here's what I messed with tonight. Looks like the coils can pretty much mount in the factory position so whatever mounts I go with can be welded to the D60 based on where they are on the D30 laying in the garage.
And here's Dana giving a disapproving look to the way I had the Jeep balanced on a 4x4 to get the coils in there for pictures... Turns out the Jeep is going to be kind of tall. I'll figure out some different coils eventually to get things leveled out once it's closer to rolling on its own, but that's pretty far in the back of my mind right now.
No real progress, just working on how to mount the coil and such on the passenger side of the D60. Still not sure, but here's the start. The piece on top of the diff is going to be cut to go up and across the corner where the factory bolt holes are for the spring plate so it can be bolted as well as welded out. From there it'll have a truss following (more or less) the contour of the diff so there will be a flat-ish surface to mount the upper link.
