As I feared, these rims don't have enough backspaxing to clear the bolt on the passenger side. Can't run it until I get spacers in.

Set on the ground. The setup with 4.25 inches of lift.

 

Those type of joint always seem excessively tall to me...Lol take a 1/3rd off the top and bottom and I think they still wouldn't bind? Btw what trac bar brace/mount is that? RE? Synergy?

 

Yea they do seem a bit tall. The spacers seem a bit big. If I could find shorter spacers, that would be cool. Yea the TB and Brace is Rubicon Express.

 

Crisis averted. I remembered the rims off my 31s had a better backspacing

 

I recommend 4" backspacing at least

 

Yes I know...more pictures: but there seems to be a lack of cav fab photos on here. Test drive went good. No slop in the heims.


Full lock to the left. 3.5" backspacing.

 

Just measured the old rims.... 5.5" backspacing

The rims I just swapped on were 3.5"

I would agree. 4"would be about perfect.

 

Reference notes.... Front end wrench sizes.

 

Decided To go to town with the flap wheel and bedliner.....
Thought this was a unique pic of 33's next to the 35s on the bronco.

 

Mocked up the outlets in the center console. Still working on how to make it clean, but still get to the wiring if needed. I like the position.

 

Really UPS? Ughhh. So much for bumpstops. Thinking poly inserts.....

 

Here's a little before and current.

 

So ive got about 500 miles of Daily Driving through town, interstate, gravel roads on the Cav-fab steering...it does feel a bit more loose than stock, I am attributing to the lack of a stiff steering stabilizer. over pot holes, i have zero bump steer, and zero shimmy. it will do 85mph down the interstate and 15 mph down a rutty potholly washboardy dirt road. Not bad for heim joints if you ask me. I was a bit worried about some folks saying they have to much slop for a DD, but after 500 miles, everything seems peachy.

 

Converted to open cooling today. The csf aluminum radiator was leaking like a sieve. Just waiting on the coolant bottle to get here.

5/8 to 3/4 and vise versa.
The radiator from napa has fittings for an auto tranny. I habe the ax-15. So i just disregarded these.
Goodbye garbage.

 

Spring blizzard today



. 2ft and counting. Had to go play, open up drifts around the neighborhood and rescue cars in the ditch.
