they are designed to up the weight rating of the wheel. that being said, the GVW limitation of the vehicle is still the suspension/axles. i dont really see what changing to these wheels gets them....Originally Posted by agjohn02

lil update today. Still buying the last remaining pieces and parts and crap to get this thing wrapped up.
Russ down at Baertrax ended up setting the gears and installing the Detroit in my diff for $200. That to me is money well spent, cause I didn't have to screw with anything. I dropped it off two days ago and my wife picked it up yesterday done. I am very happy.
My buddy has been working on it the past couple of days and is currently changing out the oil pan to a 2WD T100 pan as I type this. He also got the steering box mounted up, the firewall plate put in, and the front spring hanger in. Tonight I am going to throw the rear diff in and reinstall the rear axles and hopefully get a mock up shot with the wheels and tires on the rear.
yay for springs
Steering box mounting
Oh I think the steering shaft I got was too long...
good deal...definitely worth it
it looks like that shaft has alot of splines just cut it down
Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
or as I've done several times - chop saw and welder in the unsplined portion

The office sucks - I wanna go wheeling!
move the box further forward. that way it lines up right and you can redrill the perches to move the axle forward another inch or so. you wont have to worry about the draglink hitting the tierod on compression too.

fun times.
Sexy pumpkin. I dig those on Busa's also.
The disco ball in my mouth, insinuates I'm ballin'
how wide is the diamond?
63"
whats going on with the u-bolt closest to the pumpkin? it looks bent, and even has a white discoloration like it was heated?
sweet, i know its a diamond housing and all, but you didn't feel the need for knuckle gussets?
x2 on what ryan said, doesnt look right at all.
Nah no gussets, it's a diamond. Never seen one that needed em.
I am going to check on the truck I will check on that u-bolt, it does look a lil funny.
you can get custom u bolts at any spring shop and they are cheap. not only is it unsafe but there is no need to heat and bend one when u can get one made in the correct machine for less than 10$.
bvd wants at least 45 or so, but still cheaper than a trip to the hospital
