    quick update my coils are over extending so I decided to weld a plate on top of my adjustable coil mounts and pulling the stop pin allowing them to lower 4 more inches at full drop for more travel. so now for some longer shocks or make adjustable shock mounts hmmmm ideas wondering through my brain.

    The only problem with 52s is the greater chance of breaking the stock shafts and i never thought i would have to upgrade a duece and a half. I have been talking to a buddy of mine he is on rocks with a 460 and 52s he was in ttc in 08 he thinks 47s should be good for me without breaking and...

    The good thing about unsprung weight is that it will help keep me right side up, but i want a cage, first cage wheel it for a bit then save up and start building again.

    Ok shifters have shipped i made both drivelines and the front hits at full droop, so im going to have to reclock the transfer case up a few degrees, good thing with the strong box you dont have to pull the whole thing out or lose any fluid, just take the bolts out and turn it up. I didnt have a...

    Still waiting on the shifters, cant get ahold of Jake. I did make my rear driveline and tried it out in double low. And holy crap it is so easy to roast those 42s on the pavement. I got some serious axle wrap, that i figured was going to happen, just havent had the time to make a traction bar yet.

    Birfield type axles for TTB trucks
