looks good... when is the rear getting the knife? is it going to get a 4 link or keep the leafs?

 

looks bad *** man. freaking awesome.

are those just struts? sorry if i missed it in an earlier post.

 

This week. Staying leafs. Going links requires losing the fuel tank or moving with strategery...


They are coilovers with remote reservoirs. Adjustable for spring rates, meaning you can change the springs out as well as the nitrogen pressure.

 

Absolutely Sick! Looks like you gained another inch of lift in the front. Can't wait to see a picture of it articulating. Good work WK!

 

I gotta say the progress on your truck is super wicked man!

 

Badass WK! Way to go!

 

only if going with long arms. i have seen people sacrifice the links length just to keep the tank.... the leafs in the rear would be better to keep unless air bagging it just for the towing aspect. in my opinion

 

Thanks guys. The front end is definitely where all the effort is and it's pleasing to have it pan out. It was setup at 2.5" above my previous ride height. When the rear is put in that will have some height to it to level out, plus the front coils will settle a bit. We'll see and cross fingers.


Long arms is the only setup with merit. Show us a ram that did what you are saying. I don't tow, which would be counterproductive to the scope of this build.

Setup at home and pulled the tried and true 231 tcase tonight.

Dood, your truck is so sexy....

 

Thanks...it's a moving so close to the end....

So roughly 3.5 weeks to get to this point!

Sitting on both axles now. Rear came up a bit as expected b/c the aftermarket perches are about 1" taller than the ones on the Chrysler 1.25". My culdesac has a crown to it though too.



Set pinion angle to within 1*. Perches are hard tacked. Driveshaft ordered and ready Monday. Plan is to pickup, install, and drive back to have them double check the angle. If needs a change, then easy to grind off and then full burn in.






Tcase all mocked up for the above setup. Today hoping to pull out and final mount to be done.










Here is my to-do list in somewhat of an order --

Rear brake line on axle
Rear brake line feed
Rear shock mounts


Front brake lines, T junction
Grease locking hubs


Transfer Case
Mount BB to 241, RTV
Assemble shifters for 241 and BB


Front axle
Check alignment
Torque all fastners
control arms
track bar
shocks
Determine Sway Link tab location
Determine shock reservoir mounting location


Steering
Torque all TREs
Install cotter pins
Torque pitman arm


Add Tranny fluid!
