I use 3/16" plate for everything.

lizardtrac,
What knuckles are you running, and what bolt pattern?

 

[Skunk]

right now I have the stock waggy knuckles on it, I have a set of flat tops that I just need to get the pass side tapped and then Ill throw them on with a hi-steer setup. bolt pattern is 6 on 5.5.

sorry the pic isnt more clear i took this this mornign before i left for work. it looks smaller in the pic. the top of the fender well is 44"!

ive got it all squared away except for a leaking power steering fitting on the return line (i think i stretched the o ring or soemthing.) and i need to power wash and paint the frame and axle parts. also need ot grind a few little pieces off to make it look clean.

--- next up:
-gears will be here soon (bought from guy in PA and cant get to UPS due to snow)
- driveshaft needs to be lengthened
-gotta buy cable actuator
-get tires from jon

ITS RIDE BETTER THAN STOCK EX!!! no lie it is a softer ride and handles very well for being jacked up and on 32s. ill get the power steering line taken care of tonight and take some flex pics. its really flexy!

this is a good resource for understanding all the basics for spring over. after i did the front the rear went up in about an hour. its easier than it seems.

Looks good Gabe, looking forward to seeing some flex shots.

 

[Rx4phun]

Those are 32S??!! I thought they were stock!! Looks good so far

 

[taxx]

Looks really good.

What if I find some dana 30 from a jeep but with 3.73 I have 4.10, Can I do the swap without connecting the front shaft? ot it will be undriveable till I get the new ones??

 

[Skunk]

Is it the pic or does that front axle look a bit far back?

 

[jeffseal]

oso, Yes

or find a jeep with 4.10's I know you are in SA but i know the NA jeeps have 4.10's

 

[oso_polar]

That's what I'm looking for, I will post at pirate4x4 forum to find the exact year of jeeps with 4.10's!! I really don't like my IFS that much to stay with it!

 

[Robb]

Finding a Jeep with 4.10s is like finding an X with 4.10s. It isn't year dependent and it isn't the most popular ratio. You are going to have to find out how to identify the gear ratio in a Jeep to be able to find one.

look in 4 cylinder jeeps, I have found several with 4.10's
some of the yj had 4.11's but that will work too

 

[james t]

dont exactly quote me on this, but through the YJ series the 4 cyl. had 4:10's as an option, but with the 6 cyl. 3:73's were as low as you could get stock. either way, 4:10's in a YJ are not what i would call commonplace.

i was about to buy one in 94, and that stuck in my mind as odd when i was shopping. and no, i never did buy one... so no flames please.

 

[jeffseal]

what are yall doing for brakelines? can i go to autozone and have custum ones made or will my explorer ones work, or do i need jeep ones?

also i am worried about the length with 10 inches off lift.

i am using xj brakes btw

 

[Muskrat]

right now, my TTB lines will work for my D44, but what I need to do, soon, is get some S.S. steel brakeline and I'm going to bend it to the contour that I need, flare it, and get the rubber lines for the 79 Bronco. to get from the frame to the axle, I'm going to get rubberlines made up to go down the trac bar, I think that is the safest way to go

I was cruisin through a parking lot... some snow... almost dark out, when out a nowhere BAM!... I hit a 12" high concrete barrier, sent the truck up in the air, hurt like hell too.... almost rolled the damn truck, when I finally came to a stop, I got out, waiting to see the devestating carnage..... one shock mount was bent, and that shock got scraped a bit..... thats it..... that hit would have ripped my old front end apart..... so now Im alot more confident in my fabbing.
