[Michael Wollinsky]

i got a buddy who wants to turn his prerunner in to a 4x4 so i mite see if he wants it.  i pushed mine to its limits and it hasnt broke either but it did make it difficult to make it through the trail so i want to upgrade if you kno what i mean

how would i run duals with a forward shift t case? im looking at gettin a parts truck and then running dual cases but im stumped because the shifter position

[Michael Wollinsky]

anyone? this confuses me do i need to convert it to top shift?

[Peterbuilt84]

Use the forward shift as the crawl box and then run the top shift behind it. That is if you're running a forward shift transmission. If you have a transmission that uses a top shift you'd have to convert the forward shift to use as a crawl box, it's not that hard though.

[Michael Wollinsky]

ok so i have a forward shift i need a top shift to run behind mine thanks is there anything i need to do special to mine shifter wise?

[Peterbuilt84]

For duals you have to weld a piece of key stock to the high/low shift fork so the shifter doesn't pop out and remove the 2wd/4wd shift rail all together.

[Michael Wollinsky]

what if i had to forward shift cases would i have to convert one then?

[Peterbuilt84]

Yes, if both are forward shift one would have to be converted.

[Michael Wollinsky]

OK thanks for the info

This will give you an idea of what it takes.

[Michael Wollinsky]

Chevy's with dual shake and ruf. What size shocks do you think I'll need I'm thinking 12 in front and 14 in the rear

[daniresch]

Depends what angle and how you mount the shocks. Take the measuring tape out and start measuring is the only way to know. I run chevys and ruf with 12" all around.  

[Michael Wollinsky]

ok i just wanted an idea thanks

[Michael Wollinsky]

[Michael Wollinsky]

if i take out 8 my leaf springs will be showing and im running a dual shackle.  and i also need room for hauling

[Michael Wollinsky]

BUILD STARTED i got my hubs will be here tomorrow, and im waiting on my brake plate eliminators and leaf spring bushings. i got set back i got a piece of metal in my eye they cut it out but i had safety glasses on, i was grinding my hubs down for my taco rotors got them on got my chevys hung in the rear ill post a pic tomorrow the shackle angle turned out great with the dual shackle. finally found a cutting torch  and im cuttin my holes for frame tubes and the rest of the stuff of my frame tomorrow ill get the camera out and get pics  

[Michael Wollinsky]

on pic i took on my phone not the greatest
and i forgot to mention i found a set of 35 boggers for $125 going to get them saturday heres a pic of them to

[Michael Wollinsky]

what do you guys think about the shackle angle? i think it turned out good

[Peterbuilt84]

I'd shorten the shackle, angle looks too vertical to me. Probably want to out some sort of angled piece on the front hanger too, looks like a rock anchor.

[Michael Wollinsky]

i still gotta put the bed on and i forgot to get the hi lift jack off i have to leave it there or ill trip over it

[Peterbuilt84]

Ah, I guess take a pic when you get everything together then. My other statement stands...
