Lol.
I thought I already mentioned that to you earlier in a post. :scratch:

 

[blueka]

you probably did... I've read so much I've confused myself.. again.. n I've had 8hrs sleep since thursday


Si

 

[blueka]

ok... so, I've been doing some emailing back n forth with this guy

http://www.bloodyknucklegarage.com/

He worked for Cage to make their extended arms, n when they went bust, he had all the rights/plans so set up his own shop.

I'll be using him for the arms, upper/lower coil buckets, shock mounts etc...

I'm going to be ordering my rear truss from Artec shortly and was also wondering where is the best place for SOA anti-wrap perches?

Si

 

[MidnightRebel07]

I bought my SOA perches from RuffStuff.

 

[blueka]

and they're "anti-wrap" perches?


Si

 

[MidnightRebel07]

They're pretty long unlike the factory perches.

 

[blueka]

This is what I found

Si,

At one point superlift was making these incredibly convenient SOA conversion brackets. No cutting or welding required. I they were like $50 for the pair. Easiest way to do it if you can find them. I'll see if I can get a part # from my archives.

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Those are what I bought.

 

[blueka]

ok.. .and they're ok with anti axle wrap?


Si

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Everyone I know that has used them haven't had issues with axle wrap.

 

[blueka]

hmmm.... I'll check the superlift site...


Si

 

[MidnightRebel07]

I can't remember but I think it was Flounder that had bolt on soa perches. Don't quote me on that though. lol

 

[blueka]

I just checked the superlift site... it's no good...

Si

 

[blueka]

I ordered these yesterday, should be here in a week or so, so I can see how wide I'm gonna sit with the wheels/tires on...

I'm going to order my perches this week too, also, is there a place I can get those things that sit on top of the springs to keep the u-bolts in place? you see them on top of the leafs on newer F150s and such...

So, Last night, I dropped of my FW D44 at the local mad scientists shop to have 6" removed... probably the one n only time I'll ask someone to take 6" off my shaft... badum tish...

And just to confirm that this is the correct shaft I need before I go and order it

[ahodges]
