:eek: they make em that long?!

I don't think anyone officially makes one that long, but I've seen guys build them up to 12" which is way too long lol. I'm going to make a pair of 4-5" ones when I get my SOA done.
 






Stock ones are 5 1/2". The 7" ones gave me about and 1 1/4" lift.
 












ok I thought you meant 7" of lift.
 






looks like my buddies rig... kinda
 






Nice BII! You have the single tube Duff radius arms or the older style?
 






Its a OLD Duff kit. twin tube arms with the shock hoop that uses one on each side of the axle beam.
 






I was looking at Jlaudio_explorer's post and noticing how flat the land was , and I was thinking "illinios?" . I scroll up and sure enough , lol.
 






Yeah I live in flat hell. That road is a few miles out of town.
 






Testing out the new flew after SOA and sloped 3" BL. cant wait to get my new shoes though

I'll find some w/o the swaybars
 






6" springs up front. Skyjacker I think. Skyjacker drop brackets and doo-dads. cant remember which shocks, bought 'em from somebody on here though. SOA out back. No sway bars, totally removed. 33x12.50x15's.
Stock front brake lines with custom mounting locations, they work perfectly.

This thing was parted up, no kits, just finding parts around until it came together. It performs very well IMHO.

Oh.. gears... 3.73's (yuk) but they work.

Motor's stock, exhaust has been modded, cone air filter and 95 explorer MAF housing. 95 Motor. Pretty good gas mileage, but it dont go on the interstate! Mileage drops quickly above 65 MPH!

Daily Driver!

Crappy cell pics BTW!
