sounds like fun! take lots of pics this should be interesting!

 

can't wait for pics, sounds like a lot of time under the truck.

 

Good luck with that swap. it can be annoying and stressful as hell at sometimes but def. worth it in the end. cant wait to see it finished!

 

so i have been rethinking my tire choice and have decided to go ahead and jump in with both feet! im gonna be buying a set of nitto terra grapplers in 305/70/17. those, a leveling kit, and a power steering pump and i will be ready for april to get here!! woohoo!! lol

 

good choice!

 

hey can a VA person join i am only bout 5-10min from the nc border lol there aren't that many va members on here lol

 

Yeah, it will definately be interesting! The only thing I'm worried about is getting the front axle perfectly straight. Probably going to spend a day or two measuring, and remeasuring, and remeasuring! But I'm going to push the front axle 1-2 inches forward of where the factory axle sits to get better tire clearance.

Lol, I've already spent so much time under my truck... whats a little more! I've done an auto to manual transmission swap, 231 to 242 transfer case swap, already done one rear axle swap to a corp. 9.25", and now I'm about to change it again to the FF 14 bolt.

Lol, my truck is going to be a mutt when I'm done with it.

 

Sure man, that is close enough! the only requirement is that you spend at least 30 hours a week in NC or send me $100.00 a month!


Just kidding!! Welcome to the NC club!

 

what do you guys think of this, instead of tow hooks a front hitch, i think it would get more use and it's a class 3 so it has a straight line pull of 9,000lbs...

 

that is cool, I think it would be good if you can hide it well!
