Over the last weekend the super sucky stock pathy went up. I don't know what the ride height was before, and I don't know what it is now but the tires fit. That is what I was looking for. Big Grin
I installed coil springs from a '96 JGC (ordered from summit), Sway Away torsion bars and 1" balljoint spacers, from AC, I also put some bushings on the tension rods and greased the truck.
The tires are 33" 12.50 on 15 inch wheels, The front wheels are stock '79 Land Crusier, and I don't know what the back wheels are they came with my buddies LC.









Now for the good stuff.

Yeah I have a lot more to do now. I actually have to lower it in the front about an inch so it is level. The back end settled down some. It is actually good that will bring the UCA's up some and tip the tires out more. The only problem is that I will have to unindex the torsion bars some so the hangers stay up in the cross member.

Yes I took a lot of metal off of the fenders, I didn't mean to but I ended up in the body in the rear. So I have some sheet metal work to do. I filled everything with spray foam for now, I think I have enough in there to float the truck. Big Grin
