it dont look like it, but it will fit through my door. as it sits a little lower now to. i redid my spring hangers and pulled a leaf from the pack.

 

got it out of the garage today and it fit with a 1 1/2" to spare. still have some welding and finish up the bumpers to do. these wont be the shackles i use, going to use longer boomerang shackles. still needs rear disks, drivlines, brakelines, and flares and bodywork. but its coming together nice. for a leaf sprung jk. i still cant beleive i got the 56" and 63" springs to work on this. and im still going to move the rear axle back 2 inches in the spring pads, for a little more wheelbase. the front axle is 3" forward.

 

 

You managed to fit 56" springs up front? That should flex real nice. The 63's in back should rock too. But they allow for a lot of axle wrap. So you may want to look into an anti-wrap bar of some sort.

 

in his first post he said hes not worried about flex. mabe its a mud bogger

 

as low of a center of gravity you've managed to keep, i don't see why it wouldn't OWN on some rocks too....good job man


Hey are you ditching the rest of the fenders ...i say go for it...put some tubes up there

 

Wow... and it's only this far along. Man, always very impressed with all you folks with the know how to do something like this.

 

Leaf springs can flex just as well as coils. And with the long leafs that he has, he may just end up with more wheel travel than a coil setup.

 

This might be the kewlest mod I've seen in a while.

Please keep us posted!

 

well im in to the axles 800.00 for the front and 100 for the rear. and 250 for new front springs and the rear springs came off the old donor chevy. and spring and shackle hangers where 200.00. but i still need drivelines built i have all parts for that and i need to bulid tube fenders. and rear disks and some bestop element doors with hard outer and a trektop. and i cant forget about gears. im sure i will be between 7500-9000 when done total.
