well I've finally bit the bullet SAS

[TarHeel085]

But that introduces the issue of coil spring angle - which is why he had to cut into the chassis.

Exactly, here's the final product, I'm happy with how it's turned out

And the old angle versus new angle

 

[IZwack]

yea!
he is running a lot taller spring then I plan on running

I dont think there's a way around it using the same axle unless the coil spring is super short (sits under the frame rail).

im doing the same setup..hows the dana30 with 4.10s and 35s on the road..im getting a 30 off a jeep too with everything except 4.10s..should be a good axle i hope??

 

[TarHeel085]

I haven't really taken it out yet, but on neighborhood streets it acts the same as when I had 33's on it

Looks good man. Were definitely going to have to get up and do some wheeling together this year.

Most certainly, I can't wait for URE to open in a month, you have an April trip there planned yet? Plus my group didnt hit callalantee last year so that's in the works for this summer.

 

[Foxracin]

I plan to go sometime in April dont know when yet. When you plan on going down?

 

[TarHeel085]

hopefully april 9th is what we are shooting for. finally took her out to see what the front end would do. sufficient to say i'm very happy with it. crappy pics i know

 

[Slowlyvverot]

looks like you have more than enough droop goin on there

 

[TarHeel085]

yes indeed, that wasnt even full droop. still need to get it on an RTI ramp to measure for limit straps.

the few small things i need are: limit straps, front sway bar, steering stabilizer and fix the gawd awful death wobble :roll:

on a small note we had to put in/make a bracket for a steering shaft support bearing as it was flopping around terribly. and somehow the front powertrax broke all four of the pins, unheard of by anyone i know, plus stumped my friends at 4wp. so the front locker is gone, and will be putting in an arb sometime in the future. that being said, it did awesome on the 4wp rockpile.

 

[GRNMACHINE]

Nice Work!!!

 

[David89]

Looks Great!

 

[TarHeel085]

thanks guys!! death wobble was taken care of tonight, crappy ass jeep brackets got the sliders mounted today and they are freakin stout! A afore mentioned still need a damper and front sway of some sort. may even have to get a heavier coil, i figured the EB coils and 255/70 valved bilsteins would be fine, but no so much.

 

[BlakeGordon]

nice build dude.. goodjob!

 

[Foxracin]

Looks good man. I was planning on going to ure the following weekend. 15-17

 

[TarHeel085]

i finally got it to uwharrie. did everything i wanted it to, had to remove the bumpstop cup as it was smacking the crap outta the spring on the passenger side. and somehow i managed to do this:

and this is what happens when you stetch your wheelbase. hah oh well

ill get more pictures when i get them from my friend.

 

[Glen4X4]

Nice work,

 

[Foxracin]

So how did it do? Should have walked everything at ure no problem.

did really well and suprised the hell out of a lot of people. i need to do the west texas pump mod cause i cant steer in low when the rpms drop down. and my driveshaft is rubbing my bolt for the third link mount. just a few small bs things to work out and i need to pick up a set of these as well
