Section525 - D44 2nd gen. leaves SAS

[section525]

They are not as good as your fab skils Dead Link Removed

Apparently they're about even.


I'm going to have to go the dumb route and buy one of each gear and trial-and-error it till something works. :

why? use the GPS method, worked 100% for me..

current Teeth X speed shown / actualy speed = new teeth

 

[section525]

That's how I got the 19T!

Let me go back and check it out...

 

[section525]

Snapped a picture of the crossmembers in action. I am now thinking about changing the shackle hanger once again.

We'll see...

Oh yeah.. I'm still needing to cut off a lot of stock junk. Once I get a plasma.. that should be easy. :

Man I hate the V8 cat converter!

Looks sweet, do you have a problem with round things? hahahaha or just no bender

Yeah.. no bender. And I refuse to use pipe! :

Hopefully I can hold out through this winter without getting a bender. But it's not looking good. I've been shopping around. Especially since my bumpers are next in line for creation.

And yes.. those cats are going to be awesome. Only about 8" lower than anything else under there!

 

[Jefe]

Nice pinion angle. Is that thing pointed down?

I do like the tranny crossmember though.

 

[section525]

It's actually flat.. to a little bit up. Caster is at 11 degrees so I am cutting the Cs and turning them. But, at least I can get everything exactly where I want it after that. I may need to run some high steer arm spacers though beause they're close to the leaf as it is.

 

[section525]

Or swap to COs.

 

[section525]

I'd have to agree with that. Box it all the way down to the leaf spring, at least on one side.

Soooo.. tomorrow I am making thicker shackles because I bent them driveway wheeling.

Post some pics of the bent shackles

Thanks for the support, TD. :




So I also ordered a 1.5" dimple die today. Expect some more bling.

 

[IZwack]

No. : I'm too embarrassed.

I thought you had a great concept. With some modifications, I'm sure you wont be able to bend another pair. So I say you make another set with a few minor changes (Hows that for a confidence builder?)

We looked into this -- there's no train that goes from east to west that can carry cars Or at least it would have costed uber $$. I did find a few buses that are around $500 running too !
