toyo / irok ?

i dont want to be limited to 2 options

[Saharicon]

why dont you just run 17s?

[Danksters]

i have aftermarket plate LCA brackets, otherwise yeah i suppose...

i need airbumps and leafs before a truss...oh and a straighter unibody.

the stock mounting method is gay as hell and im tired of bar pins, so I wanna do this for the shocks before i put em in:

Just don't use those retarded carriage bolts.

thanks for the link mike, but they got too much stroke to em...plus im gettin a little bit better of a price...I may be going radflo instead of SAW now at the suggestion of a friend...lots of options it seems...

Finished finals, now I get to work on the Jeep once again. Got the air bump brackets welded to the frame this evening.

Here is full droop, right now they're setup for 4" of travel but thats way to much for my needs so in the future I'm going to limit them to somewhere near 2".


Here is full bump, they contact a UHMW disc on the LCA bracket.

man that looks sweet as hell

but

my TNT arms are way inboard with the bend in them and all, theyre on the inside of the unibody rail...not sure if i wanna deal with the hassle of gettin in there on the inside to do it..

either way thats something i still need to think about, mounting methods...

these came in the meantime:



pulled the 5150s out to find a toasted bushing and 2 less than ideal bar pins...so time for BPEs, i think.

[Burton58]

was originally buying a set with heims, then got this set instead...one less set of heims for me to wear out...i dont think ill see too much of a loss with the rubbery goodness anyway for my application
