Been gone a while but doing a lot of reading on this forums

so far I modded torsion key for more lift and added smaller control arm bumpers then lifted max possible that I was able to still get proper alignment( nice when a buddy has alignment shop)

had to add 4 inches cheaters* to rear to compensate for front lift.. didn't realize it would go as high as it did but will install new leaf hanger in a few weeks to solve this.

moddded/rebuilt a pushbar don't know what it was off but frame width was the same added front trailer hitch(built it) added a 9500lbs winch (pulls me out of holes easy aswell as buddies jeeps)


winch is built by Keeper and is completely wireless control, bu does have a wired connection for when both remotes goes MIA

stillll looking to add body lift to add 33's but body lift will require me relocating front bar mounting up and some work but meh... this is what I bought a welder for....

but here is my baby as it stands as off 2 hours ago after I cleaned and buffed her original 1992 paint up :O

 

Nice looking truck. Four inches of lift and still can't fit 33's?i figured that would be enough.

 

yea its survived a lot, northern Ontario winters with the salt... the underside looks immaculate hell even the spare tire winch works like a champ..

I believe this truck was sitting lower then it should have since the front half shafts when sitting on level ground were sitting with upward angle to tires from diff ..

right now it has 235/75/15

 

well you was correct sir.. 33's barely fit but do fit with stock rim

33X12.5/15 on stock rims at full turn just to say touch the rad support anyway. I was involved in a slight accident and finding original front bumper is impossible around here(600 bucks) so for under 150 I built this one with proper mounting for a winch . It is currently only framed off but will be fully covered with checker plate 1/4 inch steel once rain lets out to look like a real winch bumper.... to give an idea on how it was from original.. the front wheel well to ground was 32~ inches stock(215/70/15) when I received it.. added 235/75/15 since originals were garbage passenger car tires... then now 33's (sold the Territories I had and paid for the 33's(used) ) now front wheel well sits @ 44 inches for when I first recived this thing

Bumper built from scrap 1/4 inch tubing I got locally for nothing
got the center piece for grill guard from local kijiji and cut it up.. originally from a 90's F-150
Not shown yet but diamond plate cut and ready to weld in from local welding shop for 80 bucks(mostly labour ) total weight of front bumper is roughly 220 lbs( including winch)

 

almost done.... the bumper anyway... again forgot to make a mount for the front plate... so just bolted direct to bumper were it wont get ripped of easily..LOL

still gotta fill in were bumper/grill area is, blend in or encase winch to clean it up a bit .. also debating on putting guards curved around to headlights to protect that area since mostly were I go I deal with a lot of brush
