Wheeling a fullsize

I have 16.5" or so and that makes my spring roughly the 5" variety then.
Thanks for the help on that estimation.
On some 7" SLs there has been a need to clock the tcase down and lengthen front driveshaft. Did you end up doing that too?

Carl your rig is coming along nice. Good work. Why are you still on 1/2 tons? Ha.
I am building a 35spl 9" and hp44 to go under my jeep. I will eventually have some time off work and one day when it's done I will hit you up to go run the rubicon and have a beer or 2.

Ran the Hell Hole trail that was mentioned a few posts back this past saturday. Here's some pics to hold over. No damage, no dings like last time, but almost a pretzeled tie rod.
The starting group, but the blue 4runner bailed early in b/c of child stuff and the red powerwagon (it was his first ever trail run) decided to park and not attempt the major obstacle.
oops
Back in

So your suspension lift is 5" coil + 2" spacer = the 18" measurement from bucket to bucket using my pictures.

His is actually a converted 1500 as well. PO already had swapped the axles to 3/4T running gear, including the badging.
The shock's are Bilstein 9100 17" with remote resi. They are pretty wicked.
Here is his build thread to see more details.

I've had the BL on now for 2.5 years strong. No issues to report to date. No loosening of bolts and there is no CG concerns from my experience. Note that the green dodge on C/Os is also on a 3" BL. Cheapest form to get extra wheel uptravel. Plus give more room to work on top of the drivetrain. There are no CG issues because our truck is long and full width. On jeeps and B2 you're narrower with respect to lift height, which tends to enhance any CG effects.
Or instead of adding a BL, fab up and replace fenders with tube fenders....
