true!can you rearch your springs your self? is the redneck way?
I believe that both '85 and '87 are actually 47" long IIRC.
I believe that both '85 and '87 are actually 47" long IIRC.I am running the first three springs from an '85 pack in stock location, then I ran 3 more from an '87 pack cut down 4" per side underneath it. So 6 leaf pack total with the usual drop hanger/front crossmember and some sky boomerang shackles. I would say I got 4-5" of lift from it.During installation:Ride height on 34's immediately after:Hope that helps.
and i think thats what ill probably do
lets say i use the Main and send leaf from the 87 and possibly the overload.could i add in some of the stock 85 fronts to net more like 4-5in?
Wouldn't ya have to shorten the draglink for push pull steering, as well as the ball flip? Your moving the axle forward by installing rears up front, due to the ofset center pin. I have never seen a rears up front mod done without hysteer.I added s-10 rear springs into my 85 rears when I built my pack. For a friends we used 4" yj springs added into the 1st gen rear springs to create a RUF pack with more lift. Just be prepared to build, modify, and rebuild, and everything will work out to your liking.Rears up front are a great way to go in my opinion.
YES. Read this. Should keep you busy for couple days.http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265669I'd also suggest reading this.http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=459180
If I could do over again I would build the same packs, but make a hanger with more drop.My 7-leaf rear pack with a TG hanger kit has room to fit 37's with ease.
I am going the opposite way, I want to be lower. I had previously cut my fenders, now I just inboarded my rear springs which dropped me a couple inches due to my hanger location, cut my floor and raised the drivetrain for a flatbelly, and I have been considering whether I wanted to put the effort in to cut my hanger off and notch it up into the front crossmember to lower the front.
