Wheelbase 118½" 4"stretch in front 10" rear

 

Coil buckets were to wide for my 2" offset brackets at axle width. Had to make my own out of ¼ plate. But using the retainer from the Barnes bracket

 

Finish welded in with ¼" gussets

 

Front end setup sitting on stock coils. The plate off the bottom of the frame gives me 4" of lift

 

Picture of the rear setup and sitting on stock coils also like the front 4" of lift mounted off the bottom of the frame with a 2" offset bracket

 

Ride height I think. Hahaha

 

Another view

 

Test flex. Only had it up 20" that was all the higher I felt comfortable with going with a jack under the tire

 

shawingg!

 

Ran out of clearance in the rear. Still need to cut the body for clearance. Only about ½ of total flex at this height

 

Also shaved the trim off. I like the clean look without it

 

That is the build up to this point. Again sorry for the individual pics
:beer:

 

Lookin' good!

 

Thanks and also thanks for the rugged ridge winch I got from you a few months ago. I got in on a rebate deal you had going on. Can't wait to put it on.

 

After some prying and pulling I was able to get the 249 split. The 231 was a lot easier to get apart. To my surprise the guy I bought it from had put a 6 planetary gear in it. And luckily it was the same as my 249 input. Put it all back together and ready to put in. I had to order some new case to tranny studs. Couldn't get the ones out if the 249 without messing them up.
