then here is the rear spring hangers i built

then the rear shackle hanger i got from skys mfg. (just tacked up till i flex test it out)

another angle of the custom hangers ( crappy pic )

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #62 on:** Apr 07, 2008, 02:30:11 PM »

I decided to only move the hanger up 4 1/8" rather than the 5 that marlin said to go.... my shackle angle just didnt look right so I tacked it up and will try it this way and see what happens

and another view of shackle angle and mounting

and a full rear shot

other side hanger tacked up

the rear mounted up finally

yes I am building some spring eye bushing motor mounts (cause I am sick of breaking weak stock motor mounts) as well as my t-case x-member will ride on spring eye bushings as well cause I havent been hearing any good reviews about the front range x-member... I have been hearing from a few different people that they are cracking... so I figured I will just build one up for myself and not have to worry about any cracks... mine will be made of 1/2" plate steel for the main ring which I would think should be plenty beefy... I will be cutting that out and working on getting it all drilled and tacked together for a test fit...I will be mounting the motor and trans this next weekend just to start getting the wiring together since I now have some schematics to work with...

I got a few more things done to the truck this weekend.... I traded a buddy my 81 front axle from my first gen str8 across for a 85 front end and I got it all torn down for a much needed rebuild (not in as bad of shape as my old one though) and all my parts cleaned and inspected and ready for assembly... I just need to get my order in to marlin for my gusset, knuckle ball kit, diff armor, knuckle rebuild, and some heavy duty inner seals so she will be new as I already have new wheel bearings....I also got one side of my bed welded back together finally..... I rounded up some free parts from a truck my buddy is parting out such as my new seats, brake booster & master cyl., and some steering shaft parts to fab mine up.... FREE parts kick

I will get some pics up on my lunch break.....

I got a few more things done last night.... I got my steering shaft built since 2 different ones came in my truck and neither of them fit... so I just took the 2 and built 1 that does fit... I also cut out the front cross-member out and replaced it with a piece of 2"x3"x .120 and welded that in place since the stock one was bent to high hell....I will get some pics when I get some spare time....

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #69 on:** Apr 17, 2008, 04:01:58 PM »

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #71 on:** Apr 17, 2008, 04:09:41 PM »

I traded my front axle out of my 81 for this 85 straight across... I tore it down for a rebuild I am just waiting on my order from Marlin & Trail gear to get it all put back together.... I got my knuckle ball kit and HD inner seals from Marlin & from trail gear I got my diff armor, axle gusset, knuckle rebuild & spindle nut kit... I already have my new wheel bearing kit waiting to get put back together

and my trusty Lincoln locker for the front

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #72 on:** Apr 17, 2008, 04:13:48 PM »

Oh ya and I also got my forward shift t-case to tear down for my crawl box.... now I have my w56 > forward shift crawl box > top shift 2nd crawl box > top shift rear case.... I am just gonna run the 3 cases and 4.10 gears in the diffs I should have plenty low gears running the 40's

THK Matt · « **Reply #73 on:** Apr 17, 2008, 11:09:39 PM »

3 cases!
double clocking of 20*? single clocking of 10*? or no clocking?

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #74 on:** Apr 18, 2008, 09:48:55 AM »

i havent decided that yet

prolly go with 20* just so its that much less I will have to lift the drivetrain for my flatbelly.... we will see what the boysat marlin thing about running 2 10* adapters....

its been done and can be.

on this forum somewhere.
i say do it....
you just need custom dogleg short shifters.

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #76 on:** Apr 18, 2008, 10:04:14 AM »

ya thats for sure on the dogleg shifter.... I prolly will go with both adapters clocked prolly save me some floor choppin too!!

TheCookieMonster · « **Reply #77 on:** Apr 18, 2008, 10:10:39 AM »

youll have to cut the floor with both the adapters i bet for the back t case.....unless u leave that

BL on

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #78 on:** Apr 18, 2008, 10:19:51 AM »

:thumbdown:body lift is coming off cause its $That\'s Gay$ I will prolly run a skys 1" though just so I get new bolts and bushings

Ramrod · « **Reply #79 on:** Apr 18, 2008, 10:36:15 AM »

anything over 10* rotation doesnt really get you anything since then the main part of the tcase will be your lowest point

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #80 on:** Apr 18, 2008, 10:48:49 AM »

ya thats kinda what I was thinking the case would be... I will prolly run 1 clocked adapter and one regular one come to think of that great point ramrod just made!! thanks man $Beer Chug\'n$

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #81 on:** Apr 18, 2008, 10:51:13 AM »
