wait for a minute i thought you saw mine..... roflmao

yours is tiny compared to that thing

 

[walnuts4x4]

thats what she said..... Had too... yeah I like that expy but there is no way it is a DD... hell some days mine feels too big and I feel like taking out BL....











NOT!!!

You know, it's really not all that hard to set one up like that. All you really need is a couple of Rockwell axles, a generic 4 link kit for the rear, leaf springs for the front and a few other odds and ends. Way easier to engineer than it would be if you tried to keep the IFS.

If mine were ever to become "just a toy" and not my daily driver, I would think about it. It may actually even be easier to just dump the body on to a shortened F250 frame and then use off the shelf lift components.

Its not too hard just the $$$$$$$$$... and getting the boss a.k.a. wife to say yes....I like the rockwell idea... especially for 4 wheel steer but thats got to wait for a few years then gonna swap in a built 460 and run some 54" mickey thompson baja claws

you mean like these

 

[walnuts4x4]

yup but let alone the price of rockwell... the price for 54" boggers was like 800$ a piece.... never saw the price for baja claws... so 3200$ just for 4 tires then need to get some new rims at least 12-14" wide probably a grand... then 4 link, rockwells and some shocks looking at close to 7 grand or more!!!!... just gonna keep the 37s till I win the lottery...lol

that is a big boy. i dont plan on building mine quite that big when i SAS it but mine will also be able to be used as a DD if i want it to.

 

[panda24619]

did anyone notice the trailer hitch? really? that high? whos going to tow something up that high? haha and no nvy dont go that high. a nice 6-8 lift would look good.

 

[tritonman5.4]

not to be a party pooper or anything but thats just over the top lol

 

[dgray69]

dont see why you couldnt do this with hd dana60s regeared. im thinking on a budget between 6 and 9 grand this can be done. provideing you do all your own fab work. if i go with sas i will be running d60s under and hope enough hight to run 44s. first thing is to find an old military dodge pickup. thats the biggest expense next to the tires.

 

[panda24619]

if your looking for d60s find an old f250 or 350. they have d60s and are more available. but it is a little too extreme. did anyone see at one point his tires disappeared under the mud. and his body was at water level. good thing he had all that lift.

 

[dgray69]

yeah that is an option. but the old dodges with the d60s are regeared for military specs. and will run 44s

 

[nvycrmn]

yeah, when i get mine done, i plan on running 8" lift with probably 41's, maybe 44's. i think i am just going to leave my rear axle alone, just regear it with some selectable lockers, but go with a d44 or d60 up front, with selectable locker as well. and i agree, he should have sold his hitch! but at leat this way he has something he can hook up to if he needs to pull out one of those suzukis!!!!!!!!

 

[dgray69]

but no one said a word about the matching hitch on the front

 

[dgray69]

yup but let alone the price of rockwell... the price for 54" boggers was like 800$ a piece.... never saw the price for baja claws... so 3200$ just for 4 tires then need to get some new rims at least 12-14" wide probably a grand... then 4 link, rockwells and some shocks looking at close to 7 grand or more!!!!... just gonna keep the 37s till I win the lottery...lol

or you get new 39s and sell me the 37s, lmao comon you know you want to, you dont need that boat, really

 

[panda24619]

o wow there is a hitch up front. haha i guess he can tow the sukis out with that. but still a little high up there. dgray i see your point about why you want the dodge d60s. but if your going to get an old axle i would recommend cleaning it all out. so if your opening it up shouldnt you put new gears in there anyways? just an option.

 

[walnuts4x4]

or you get new 39s and sell me the 37s, lmao comon you know you want to, you dont need that boat, really

if I go bigger I want 40s...lol have had 38s before on f150 and now 37s so if i can I wanna go to 40s...
