I bought the springs used, but the guy I bought them from said it was a lifted lift kit. I did take a few springs out of it to make it sit lower.

Measurements I'm trying to build a fuel tank for a diesel Espar heater I have and want to install. I would like to get it cut out while I am on the road and build it when I am home for Thanksgiving before I go back out of town. Could someone get me a few measurements on their van. I'm...

I looked at the DIY4x.com ones. I was afraid that it would lift my rear too much. Do you know how much it will lift it?

I am trying to decide what to do with the front bumper. I like the original bumper, but wanted to eventually mount a winch. I do a lot of solo driving in the back country. I was thinking about a winch plate bolted the 6x6 angle on the front. Then, I would mount the the bumper in front of it...

I didn't use the Heim because the guys at Blue Torch Fabworks said they wouldn't use the heim on an on road vehicle.

Thanks, the fab work was fun. I'm going to change it when I get back in town, which might not be until Thanksgiving. I'm still debating whether or not to just get rid of the cross piece. I'm going to make the the existing part that attaches to the frame wrap around the other side and use the...

I'm finally on the road for work and have time to post. I've got the axle in and the steering done. I have driven it a little around the airport, but no where else. I need to order shocks, rework the engine cradle, and lift the back.

Sorry for not responding. I've been working non stop on this. I leave town this week for work and will have more time to post. I am planning on reinforcing the frame up front where the angle iron is, and I'm going to build a big c channel for the engine mount. I've got a bunch of pics I will...

Does anyone out there make a rebuild kit for the outside of the 10 Bolt. I bought the diff kit, but couldn't find one for the outside. I'm learning some lessons on this. I bought outer axle housing seals because when I took it all apart the whole axle tube was full of sand. When they got...

I don't do much wheeling. It's more of an extended camping rig with light off-roading. I get a month off twice a year and head to the mountains. I needed the axle to move on with the project. I have a couple of weeks off right now and want to get as much done on it as I can. After getting the...

I finally bought an axle. I ended up buying a GM 10 bolt. I tore it apart and am just waiting on a bearing kit to finish up. Now that I have it I can figure out what other stuff I need. I stopped by a company called bluetorch fabworks. They were cool and had a lot of the stuff I need to finish...

I've left a few messages witheople in Chattanooga and near gulf port MS and haven't gotten a call back. I had a deal with a guy over an axle in Texas. Was going to give him his asking price and he backed out. I don't get people who post stuff on Craigslist and don't really want to sell it. I'm...

I need the passenger side drop Dana 44. Preferably 3.73, but I'll take whatever. Man. I was just in hazard Kentucky this morning, but now I'm back in birmingham. I looked at the local craigslist there and didn't find anything.

It's a ways, but I haven't really found anything down that way. I found one in southern Alabama im going to call about tomorrow.

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately I'm living at the airport and can't have a parts vehicle there. That's why I didn't buy one originally. I travel for a living and found the 8 lug hubs and the passenger side flat top knuckle in Texas last week. I'm headed to Kentucky tomorrow and Jackson...

Lunchbox I've been watching your build over on pirate. It's looking good. I'm trying to buy a Dana 44 for the front, but am having a hard time finding one here in Alabama. That's what I'm waiting on right now. I was hoping to get the axle built when I get back in town. that way I can figure out...

i was looking at the ford springs because even though they were 52" the front eyelet to the spring pin was about 24". From the measuring I've done I figure that's what I need in order to not have to move my springs too far forward on the frame.

I don't wheel my stuff. I do a lot of off-road driving. Rough roads and trails, but I just use it to get to lakes and places up in the mountains. I just got back from a trip from Alabama up through Chicago west through the badlands the big horns spent three days up in the mountains hiking. Then...
