[86rustbucket]

quickie's are nice to.

ya but they're sloppy and messy but oh well

[axled89]

like a six dallor burger/quickie

[86rustbucket]

ewww, all over your face

[axled89]

all over HER face. ha ha ha!

[86rustbucket]

well here it is i still havnt driven it yet but im gettin there, i just need gear oil.

[86rustbucket]

all over HER face. ha ha ha!

u mean were not talking about food?  

[axled89]

hey man. what springs are thoes.

[86rustbucket]

they are 88 rears that i added a leaf out of some stiff 4 inch pro craps, then i shortened the overload

[axled89]

is your hanger and shackles  in the normal spots.     like1.5'' forward or what ever.

[86rustbucket]

i moved the hanger about an inch forward and drilled the shackle holes center of body mount.  i wish i would have put the hanger in factory location or just a .5 inch forward it would have helped with my shackle angle and steering

[axled89]

well i'm trying to get my axle forward more.    my hanger is the 1.5'' forward way.  and the shackels are in body mounts.    with the allpro 6inch front springs.      allready moved the steering box forward.    what can i do.     need help want to run bigger tires.

[axled89]

would some kinda rufs  still work for my junk.   with the steering box were it's at.

[86rustbucket]

youll need to change springs you could probly sell yours and build a badass pack of rears and still have $$$ leftover.               or sky and all pro sell axle relocation plates that are kinda like a mini lift block with the hole and pin offset so you can move your axle forward or back depending on how you put them in.

[axled89]

yea man i've seen those aren't those for the rear only thoe. some one told me not to use them in the front.

[86rustbucket]

i dont know

[86rustbucket]

would some kinda rufs  still work for my junk.   with the steering box were it's at.

how much did you move it? i got a pic on pg. 1 that shows how much i need to move my box

[axled89]

well the answer there is far enough forwards that the drag link or what ever that bar is and the tie rod are parrelel to each other.  they don't cross each other like the one in the pictures do at all.        and i don't know if you want them to at all.   i think the more parrarell they are the better.

[86rustbucket]

ya i know, i gotta move my box before i wheel it, a couple inches probably

[axled89]

yeah when i did mine i let the suspesion up and down.  then pretty much placed the box where it would'nt hit
nothing under there.  and it works like a charm 

[86rustbucket]

how far did u actually get it to move? the front body mount is right in the way i'll need to cut that

[axled89]

mine is not even touching it.  probaly 1 inch or so away.  they say to make tie rods parrall. so keep them on tell it looks good. and nothing will bind up.

[86rustbucket]

maybe 2nd and 3rd gens are different mine is almost touching right now and i havnt touched it

[axled89]

heres what i have maybe we didn't move it.   maybe justed boxed it in with the plate.  i'm still about an inch .

[axled89]

i think there the same frame and every thing.  i'm going to move mine forward some more some day i want to run 40''s.   i really don't know what to do with the boddy mount thoe.

[86rustbucket]

i think id either have to cut the mount and reinforce it or lift the box a little and see if it will slide past the body mount

[axled89]

what the hell happened to ya!                    

[86rustbucket]

sorry i had to go work on my truck  

[86rustbucket]

i actually drove my   today  i havnt hooked up my front drive line though.

any body know if i can just switch the flange off the old ifs diff. and put it on the solid axle diff?
hell no this wont work any one that does a sas change your flange

[89sastoyo]

yeah you can im almost 100 percent sure could be wrong though but if it fits like witout beating and looks the same id runn it

[86rustbucket]

did u buy a new flange?
