Alright guys, I have been dreaming of doing this for a while now and to be honest after seeing the AZ boys tear some shit up ITS FUCKING TIME TO STEP IT UP! (Story Time) I went on line and did a little homework, and going with 1 tons would be great but I really don't see that in the near future. I did come across a good deal on a complete suspension, axles and tires though. The only thing that I may have a problem with is this came off a 96 single cab and mine is a 00 ext cab. i do know that there is a difference in the rear leaf spring lengths. my springs measure 54 1/4 (i believe) from eye to eye and these measure 52",( he said these were long springs, how true is that, i don't know). and the 96 was a 4 cyl and mine is a V6 so more than likely the front springs are going to sag a little, but i did hear that the early 4 banger was an iron block and it weighs just as much as a newer V6, so i hope someone can answer that question. I got the driveshafts too, i haven't looked yet but i think i might need to make new ones cause the single cab rear shaft is shorter than the ext shaft. I pulled the trigger and now its time to tear in to this thing.
Here are the axles:
Ford 9"er: 5.13 Gears and a spool, pretty plain.
High Pinion 44: Cromo Shafts all the way through, locker and 5.13 gears, and full hydro steer.
and the front of it
the springs are Alcan Progressive rates with All-Pro Greasable Shackles
Front:
and rear:
Need to Fix some shitty ass welds on them though :welder:
And the Asshole that is going to help with the Swap (he doesn't know shit about SHIT!)
and this is what it is going on:
and what takes most of my time! man i love my job! this is for a turbo jet ski, its pretty dope!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Surge (WARTOY) was the one that sent me to you all, he is a stand up guy!
Thanks Guys!
