i think this has already been posted before.


but i must say, that's a pretty impressive buildup.

Taken from the text in the article from the link: "The back has a set of new springs from Rough Country and a set of 4.5" lift blocks." Need I say more? NOPE, NICK

I'd have to agree it's impressive, all right -- for all the wrong reasons.

4.5" of blocks = Recipe for Disaster

 

[Beezil]

if the MECHANICAL parts of the truck got as much attention as the body, it'd be a nice build.....there are some scary things going on.....too many people building big trucks, that don't have the first clue

but the body work deserves an a-plus. Its perfect

The 38x15.5 tires and stock axles go very well together :dunce:
Its also wonderfull that over half of the front lift is provided by spacers. That and the blocks must make that thing a ramp champ. That things drivetrain would break if it even looked at a rock.

My rig currently sits at around 10" of lift.... after the custom coil spacers were installed. They are effectively dropped coil buckets secured over the stock stalk and secured to the uniframe on the outside of the frame rail. They alone give me around 6" of lift.

I use radius arms as a front axle attachment point, as well as 3" blocks out back over a custom leafpack. Anyone want to try to outflex it?

Farmer Matt and the like can.... because they've got longer radius arms/longarm kits than I do. I thought about a longer radius arm, but to tell the truth...I'm afraid that it will routinely try to lose the coil springs when they've completely unloaded. And limiting straps is kinda like lifting a truck only to drop the transfer case back down to stock angles..... why would anyone do that?

To be fair...I also have a 119" wheelbase. That's probably where I get ahead.

EDIT: I'm very much in agreement with Beez and others who pointed out that 38" tires are spinning on stock toothpicks of axles. He needed to beef the running gear (replace it w/ bigger axles altogether) before he dressed it up.

I guess I could have also pointed out the short arms with no DB's and the stock steering. That thing probanly has less travel than a kj.

Yeah your setup has droop but not a lot of compression. I run longarms, and a 4-link will be going in the rear, so I think I might be able to out flex you.

Uh....yeah. That'll do the trick. I've entertained the idea...but if it's like everything else in my life, it'll fall under the five-year plan.

Uh, didn't you invent that? But in a pink version? Maybe he should have put the Ford axles under it that YOU pioneered? Just needs the fake hub caps to finish it off.

Oh, you are too cool. Tis fun to watch the nose grow. How is your lawnmowing job going these days?

Don't ya have to wheel it to brag about it's flex here?

Indeed. A huge difference between a picture of a pink jeep with hubcaps, and a Jeep that is actualy used as a Jeep. Taking the Jeep on a trail is is one thing. Parking it on some farmboys grass is another.

Jeez ********, aren't your tall tales better suited to another website, say a childrens one. You likely know some as you probably invented them.

Would you like to explain that statement? People that run limiting straps have built suspensions that have very little bind and a large amount of articulation. Limimity straps are a part of a well enginered suspension, designed to prevent unloading and premature shock failure.

 

[Beezil]

stryker.

get your junk on a serious ledge climb with long radius arms, and you'll discover why we've put limiting straps on our jeeps.

limiting straps limit front end unloading.

they do not limit suspension travel.

yer gonna get spanked for that statement!
