Short answer: No.


Gear heads will always find something that they can alter and/or improve upon.

your planning a SAS with 31's? :thumbdwn:

Nope, its never finished. I just did my 44/9" and now im changing the rear leafs/shock mounts, re making the front shock towers and lowers, looking to go hysteer, adding a locker upfront, disk brake rear, doubler t-case, cromo shafts...... I could go on for days.

You should get more than ten miles a gallon on 31s.....

 

[a711112a]

i know
im thinking the thermastat not working might have something to do with it?also where i live is mostly hills

 

[Burns]

Yeah but with hills or not 350 and 31s is a fair gear ratio..... Im running 36s and 488 and i get 14 or so

 

[a711112a]

here are some pics
it ended up 8.5 inches higher than stock
tomaro im gona put in a new thermastat and check the spark plugs

Can't see the pics

Mines trail only, so I dont know MPG.

And dont even consider 4.11's unless your keeping the 31's If you want 35's it should be atleast 4.88's if not 5.13's.

Without labor, ive got $1500 into mine including everything. With labor its arond 1700-2k.

 

[a711112a]

explores are awesome cheep wheeling! thermastat helped. also adjusted the caster realy helped with the hi speed vibrations.55 to 65 mph they seem worse when im pushing the gass. any ideas? still trying to get some pics on here dial up is well dial up

 

[a711112a]

hey snoboarder why you changing the rear springs ?

 

[sn0border88]

Holy hell, it sits just a tad higher than stock. Mine sits high on 36's. What coils did you use in front?

Im changing the rear suspension to flex better, longer springs is the easiest way to go, not sure if thats what I want to do though.

Sorry to hijack this thread a bit here. Just a quick question on trail rigs. In my state (CT.) You can't own or keep a vehicle on your property unless it is registered and insured (unless you are a boneyard or dealer). Is my state the only state with this stupid regulation? I only ask because I someday would like to build a trail only rig and was wondering if I would need to keep it at a friend or family members house (out of state) for that reason.
Thanks
