Any experienced lifters willing to help lift 2" in Raleigh?

What axle do you have in the rear, 8.25 ChryCo or a D35?

 

[J308]

I'm 98% it's the Chrysler. I've taken a brief look at it (I know, I know!) and it has that hexagonal-type shape with the flat spot at the bottom. '94 Sport... I think most of those I've seen online came with the 8.25.

UB3.

Yeah dude, saw that. So I I'm guessing I can re-use my 18 year old top plate without any issues.

As far as bushings go, should I go poly for a family ride (squeaking, etc)? or will stock last?

P.S. don't know why I said shackles. I guess that came from my mini-trucking friends back in the early 90's...

'94 is more then likely the D35. The 8.25 was in the '95's some and the '96's standard if it did not have anitlock brakes IIRC.

 

[J308]

Ok, stay tuned, will confirm in about 3hrs.

You want to use new u bolts anytime you remove them. Like head bolts, they stretch. You can get them made if you bring all the dimensions to FleetPride, although I have had mixed results with them in the past.

Yeah, I think I'll just order the grade 8 ones above... Anything else you can think of?

So this is my rear end. It is an 8.25... yes?

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

That's an 8.25!

If you want to bumpstop the front, I'd like to try the hockey pucks. Not sure how many you will need at 2" but you epoxy/glue the hockey pucks as bumpstops. Depending on the condition of your rear bumpstops we can either space them with square tube and longer bolts or just order new extended ones. Any hardware items that we might need because of breakage or damage I have a Fastenal and Lowes 5 min from work.

Woot! I'm not crazy! At least about this anyway. :wave1:

Fine with me. I don't mind hockey pucks, etc... I just hope Dick's has them.
Sounds like I probably need to order those Ubolts at least from the link above.
Do you have square tubing for us to make some rear ones if we need them?
Lastly... how are you looking for next weekend (and did you get my PM)? I'll post the parts that I ordered either tonight or tomorrow, so we can look it over and see what I missed.

Looks like an 8.25 to me. They were not as common that year.

Even regardless of ABS or non ABS? Did they put turdy-five's in models without ABS?

 

[Lowrange2]

Both of my 93's have 8.25s. No ABS.

 

[J308]

So let me tell you guys something. I saw my undercarriage pic I posted last night and became terrified of rust. I went out this morning at 6:30 and pulled the drivers seat out and pulled the carpet up, it was soaked underneath, and there is a puddle there... but tell me what you think:

 

[Jamescad04]

mine was worse but i would suggest doing this

then you can always put the carpet back on top of it for the dd stuff.

 

[J308]

Yeah, my plan is to pull all the carpet out, dry it, scuff off the rust, seal it with something, then bedliner it and put the carpet back in.

I think it looks pretty good for a driver's side floorboard, so I definitely breathed a sigh of relief when I saw all that green. I just want to make sure everyone agrees that it looks good for a starting point.
:cheers:

 

[Lowrange2]

You have it good... Make sure you check the passenger side over the exhaust...

 

[J308]

Ok, just ordered the ubolts. 4x UB3s from Rusty's.

Cnickgo, can we press in rubber leaf bushings at your place or should I just order the Prothane? I need to get those ordered and I think that'll be it.

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

Take the bushings and throw them in the freezer for a couple of hours. Once they're good and frozen, run outside and throw them in the new leaf springs. You should be able to practically slide them right in, or with a little help from a normal hammer.
