changed my plans a little bit gonna be ordering king coilovers with 16 or 18" of travel with a piggyback resevoir and building a custom 4 link setup with ballistic joints on the frame side and poly bushings on the axle side most likely going to truss to the front axle to get a flat surface for UCA considering a triangulated 4 link not sure yet

 

going to be leaving the rear leafs for awhile getting custom driveshafts made and installing a sye.

 

so updated list of plans with orders beginning this weekend

Front:
16 or 18" king coilovers with piggy back resevoir
custom 4 link (ballistic joint frame end poly bushing axle end)
frame stiffeners
axle truss
yukon locker
hi-steer
leave the 4:10 gears

Rear
Leaf's
longer shocks
disc brake conversion
yukon lockers
4:10 gears
custom traction bars.

wheels/tires
37"-40" whatever i can get my hands on
beadlocks

Body:
chop top
custom exo cage
front bumper tied into frame

drivetrain:
custom tranny x-memeber
full belly skids
custom driveshafts
sye
run straight 6 till it blows v8 upgrade
future engine cage

 

So you want 4:10s and 40s it's not gonna crawl worth a damn.

 

No not at all I know 4:10s aren't enough to actually run 40s I just said I'm gonna leave them for now until they blow or I can afford another set.

 

Just...... No. You won't even get up to highway speeds with 4.10s and 40s. Not to mention the fact that you will get about 3 miles to the gallon. I've been watching your thread, and you are constantly changing plans. Stuff like this should be taken care of before a custom 4 link.

My rant for the day, just sayin

 

Like I said its my first time so i appreciate any help I don't appreciate anyone who try's to put me down I'm more than open to suggestions and help and yeah it's gonna change ive never done anything like this yet so how can I be 100% on how i want to do it

 

Lol @ your build. Triangulated 4 link with poly bushings :screwy:

 

See that's the problem with some of these guys who think they know it all they don't read everything just what they want and just what they can pick it at I didn't say I was dead set on a triangulated 4 link that would be a waste of time to use bushings on that. How about giving me a chance and if you see something that you think is wrong or won't work tell me instead of tryin to run me down

 

You have alot of learning left to do man this isn't a negative comment so please don't take it that way. You need to do it one time and do it right don't try and cut corners to get it on the road in the big picture it's just not worth it. Just buy everything you need and gather up the parts then when you have everything do it once the right way.

 

Now that I understand I'm getting all my suspension parts before I start anything gears are gonna break either way eventually so these will Just give me some time to get new ones but I I have the money before i install the axle I will definitely do that

 

I waited to do my swap until I had everything I needed to just do it once And be done and it was probably the best decision I've made. If you can afford to get coilovers you can afford it gear it.

Not trying to be mean but that list looks like a dream list of very expensive stuff that will never get done.

 

well stuff like the chop top and cage and things like that will just happen when they happen i plan on keeping this rig for a long time to come but i do see what your saying about the gearing. and just so everyones clear on this im not in any hurry to get this done my job sends me out of town for weeks at a time all over the us. so i should have time to do gearing before i ever get around to installing them i wasnt planning on it but i dont want anyone to kill me over it haha

 

If there was a like button, I would like this post.

Oh, and kyjeeper, saying this is my first time does not excuse you from anything. I get tired of people saying "oh this is my first time so It's ok that I'm running 42s on 3.55s, with gear oil in my transmission"

 

I never asked to be excused I asked for people to not jump to horrible conclusions so quick and just tell me because I'm learning and doing most of this project by 100% by myself
