Or you can rock 37's and 4.10's like sillywilly and lilbuddy

You dont need power dude...just the correct gearing

What is this power thing you speak of? 

[DTB]

SQUIRREL POWER! 22RE, BROTHA!!!

ITs about time you get a job you bum! 

Then you can afford to go to the moonrocks with us 

[NorCalToy]

sick, congratulations dude. good luck with the interviews.

[Doof]

lol thanks dude... yea i know. 3 more saturdays and them im free. first weekend im going to tahoe to shred, 2nd weekend im going to the highlakes to wheel some snow, alone or not im going and getting sauced the whole time im gone also

[NorCalToy]

sick. you decide your gonna do some shredding this year? sick.

[Doof]

hopefully

[Goose]

Im down for the highlakes!
Gotta get at least one more snow run in before summer..

[NorCalToy]

only one? if i had my license.....


and: what tires are you running? MT/Rs i think. maybe not. how do they do in the snow?

[Doof]

if i have time...

yea the mtrs, when i took them to the snow theres wasnt much to wheel in, but they did ok. hopefully when i have a chance to wheel real snow i can find out just how good or shitty they are

[NorCalToy]

kool, anything you can say about is good feedback for me. i want to buy my bros tires from him but theyre 35's and i dont want quite that big right now because that makes gearing a fairly major issue to do good wheelin. been looking at the MT/rs, the cooper SSTs, and the toyos. and i guess kinda the maxxis bighorns because they are studdable.

[Doof]

word.... so hopefully tomorrow ill be getting my blocks cut, and the overload springs removed and maybe since the  axle will be off tomorrow for the springs i might drill out a hole and move it forward 1-1.5". and while im out at the mill cutting the blocks i might looks for something i can weld between my frame rails and mount my rear shocks in a /\ stance, get my rear flip kit on and get some more clearnace, not much but some.... ill keep everybody who cares up to date and ill take pics if i do... the only reason why it wont get done tomorrow is if my sisters BF comes over and we work on the fence... depends...

[NorCalToy]

do the rig!! when the dog gets hungry itll come back. and take sum pics. please.

[Doof]

lol

pics will be... as many as work and what not

[DTB]

Too much talking....not enough building

[Doof]

so what i got done today... took the overloads out of all 4 packs and got it lowered pretty much a ton... then i drilled the perches back 1.5"s and got the axle moved forward. its tits... so enough and here are the pics

start of the day:



Perch drilled:



little figs on the side of the perches cut off:



flex shots, she flexes like a mother now compared to how it was:







front spring:



turn blinker with my flex....broken  :



body lift with my flex 

[-Matt-]

wheres all those good sketch pics...come on post the love

[46&2]

Nice looks good.  

Do you have an after shot on flat ground so we can see the difference in ride height??

[Talon84x4]

Not affraid your springs are going to start turning and separate after cutting off the spring clamps? Might cause more problems than it's worth 

[NorCalToy]

sick!! wat about the poor little dog?

[Doof]

ghetto i was sooooooo sketched out about...

I dont think they will be a problem cause it still ahs the side part of the clamp.
