So I recently bought a 94 3.0 4x4 xlt and going through the front end. This is my first build ever and I'm having a hard time deciding if I should put ANY money or time with the d35 or if I should just go ahead and do a sas!?
I dont have any experience with rock crawling however it intrigues me and I have always wanted to tear a truck apart and build my own version! I've read A LOT in the how to tech section and have seen small things such as grinding down the shoulders of u-joints for more angle, black Bill's locking mod etc. I am building on a budget and thinking of what I can do ahead of time to prevent future issues with the d35.
My thoughts are to throw some washers under the springs for now, [lift coils soon hopefully] and either a shackle flip or possibly 64" Chevy leave conversion in rear (want to read into it more) and weld the rear end just to be able to get started wheeling!
To those of you with experience, am I waiting my time and money with the d35? Also, what else can I do to have a more capable rig?
