pitman to frame clearance looks close! looking good buddy!

[Fearofrunner]

thanks DTB it looks close even when your right up to it, but when the pitman arm turns that way the bend misses it by a long ways.  I've seen alot of people screw this up and i didn't want to chance it... oh and thanks for the idea to use the C clamps man, it would have sucked without em. If you where closer to ole UT i'd buy you a

How far forward did you weld the front spring hanger? Build is look in good, keep it up!

The front spring hanger i welded flush with the front cross member that's what marlins instructions call for.  Trail gear calls for 3/4" forward but i didn't like how far it moves the front axle, then you have a problem with the steering box not setting far enough forward and have to notch out the body to fit.

I tried that at first too......... the shackle angle was horrible (negative)....i mounted mine flush too

[Fearofrunner]

thanks topar, Heres a couple of crappy cell phone pics i took last night after taking measurements.



Tierod and drag link clearance at flex. ( I was very happy with this )

[Fearofrunner]

Got a question for you guys.  I measured 8" from top of the ubolt plate to the bottom of the frame with the leaf spring flat in the front.  Is that how long i need to extend the bump stop? Thanks in advance.

[twistedtoy92]

I'm wondering the same thing!

[Duffil]

set 'em up to where you have no negative arch in your springs.

I'm not trying to thread jack. But set them up like right before the spring goes flat?

[Duffil]

yup.  As long as they don't go inverted or W you should be fine.

[Wermz84]

Very nice looking rig.   

[DTB]

remember to allow for 1/2 inch for compression in the rubber stopper

[Shoyrtt]

If I remember correctly you are running 4" springs?

I don't have a good picture of my bump stops, but I'll measure for you. 8" seems a little long.

Your rig looks nice!  I think mine are around 8" tall.  I'll try and get a picture of them.  I made them adjustable so I can move them if I ever need to.

[Volcom]

I measured my front bumpstops last night and yes, they were very close to 8 inches tall from the frame to the U-bolt plate.

They sound too tall but work out perfect.  They stop the spring at dead flat!

[Fearofrunner]

Hey man thanks for doin that, i'll get them on this weekend.  I'm slackin on updating pictures, the memory card for our camera is full of stuff that needs to go on here. 

Oh yeah and we went for a quick wheelin trip last night and I can tell i'm goin to get into some trouble with this thing.
