trails are good. but ya there was a bunch of trees down but everything is cleared up now. there was alot of firewood stacked on the sides of the roads.

so i have made the decision to redo my front suspension. i want to fit bigger tire so i have to move the axle forward. my options are redo the front hanger and move it. or to go ahead and link the front to move it forward.  i did some measuring today and fig i have to move about 4 inches to fit the tire size i want and still flex. thinking of doing a 3link with a nice beefy panhard.  did alot of figurin today and in "theory" everything will work out. have to get a flat steering arm and do some beefer top mounts for the airshocks but it should work out pretty good.  :crossed:

toyotanner

i like how your broke but you can link the front end w/ air shocks :headscratch:

coods

you should know by now. im just that good  :yesnod: i can get the airshocks for 220 a piece so the way im figuring it i can do the whole thing for under 600 easy.  :_order:

toyotanner

are you gonna run cheap ass heims?

i'm thinking its gonna be like 800 when its all said and done

and also if you link the front end what money are you gonna use to buy the tires?  credit?  :eyebrow:

coods

na im gonna use the johnny joints. im gonna make it pretty beefy. using 2" 1/4 thick tubing for all my link bars. only need the two joints for were it mounts to the frame. the other ones gonna use just regular bushing.   and my birthday present is my tires

TIMS89CRAWLER

for that price its prolly HREW..... it will work but if it were me I would use DOM on the lower links as it is much stronger..... im sure either will work though and DOM is a :pokinit: ton more money.....
