I really do like that - but is it toyota width or american width (2.36" or 2.5"?)

I got the wagoneer springs under my truck (literally sitting on the garage floor) and the rear Johnny Joings ready to be mounted. Seriously considering these fronts..   :beer:

These hangers are for Toyota width springs. All bet you could shave off a few thousands from the spring eyes to make it fit!

like 140 of em ;)

it's actually a fairly big difference - enough that I wouldn't want to bend em out to fit or the bushings would be getting destroyed..

Chris,

How well will these hold up to a 4.3L V6?

No problem. Your only 100 - 150 lbs over the 22re so it should work fine. We are running a set on Dave's V6 truck and they are working great for him.

What I would really like to do is a series of videos featuring Marlin talking you through a given repair. Diff set up, tranny repair, tcase rebuild, dual case, 4.7 gear install, ect. We could put compressed version of the video up on our web site and offer a vhs/dvd version for something like $10.

I think Marlin comes across in a very friendly & understandable way and we could create a huge technical library of info this way that would benefit thousands of wheelers.

We could call it Marlin TV Or MTV for short

Soon we will have a web cam, call it Marlin TV. This camera will allow people to watch what's going on at the shop over the web. It will also be possable for us to position the camera over intresting projects or to show items up close. You could call with a question about how that part and that part go together. While we are still on the phone, we could grab the parts and show you on the live video feed how they go together!

Look for Live Marlin TV comming soon!

They will be 56" long and will require relocating the mounts.
