is this thing going to any street time? or used as a truck time? because if not i would bob the rear it helps your departure angle alot.
I don't disagree, but with leaf's I can't really bob it that much unless I don't want to run a bumper. And I run into stuff enough that bumper is needed
Also, this truck still needs to be used as a truck so it needs to be able to hold stuff my wife needs moved. (I don't have anywhere to store a small trailer to haul stuff).
If it becomes too much of a hinderance, I'll bob it further an link the rear, but I'm just not seeing the need for it with the wheeling I do out here. But that's subject to change at a given moment
Shore is stumpy!
Dunno, don't think he'll be able to do that as he's using leaves.
From what I can tell, you're correcet. using the setup as a refrence, it only looked like I could cut 3-4" out of the rear. seemed like quite a bit of effort for that much of a gain. Maybe If I lived out west, there would be a bit more justification for it.
should be able to maybe not that big of a bob but close. i think itd still be about 3.5-4 ft of bed more then enough for camping equiptment and a 24
plus theres the the extended cab portion to store things in. actually the more i look at that pic the more i want to do it to my next truck
I'm resisting the temptation (kinda dig the look too
)
have you checked prices on getting your springs rearched in your area? i didnt even ask when i went in thinking it would be like a few places i saw on the internet at about $90 bucks...
pulled out $100 and he said $30 and some change, was deffinantly suprised since i had to keep them after quiting time to get them done.
might be worth looking into instead of doing it twice...
Hmm, I've got no idea who would do this locally (St. Louis Spring pops up in google, may have to give them a call). I had no idea it could be done that cheap either
I've got an update coming here shortly with a setup that I think I'm giong to rock. If I want to change it later it "shouldnt" be that big of a deal to flip the shackel and do a spring arch. Right now I'm on a time crunch as the tag's on the XJ expire at the end of this month, so I need to make it go away soon. Which is making me rush a few things.
If I wind up re-arching them later, you can tell me "I told you so"
...as for my garage....i often forget what the floor looks like
im a bit of a packrat....doesnt matter if i have 1500 sq.ft or 15K sq. ft i could still find junk to fill it with
Its sad really. I built myself a nice welding table, and a nice work bench. yet I still weld on the floor and use the top of the trash can as a working surface. Why you ask? Because that stupid trashcan is the only horzontial surface in my life that remains clean
(you'll notice that its starting to show up in a lot of my small part pictures do to this fact).
Update coming soon!
