HERE IT IS WITH A CUSTOM 3" LIFT BY ADDING SPRINGS TO THE PACKS...KINDA DUMB BUT DIDN'T HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY AT THE TIME...THEN SLAPPED ON SOME 35" MTRs ON A 15X8 WHEEL

HERE IT IS ARTICULATING A BIT...THE TIRES WOULD RUB ON THE INNER FENDERS A LITTLE...I DIDN'T RELOCATE THE BUMPSTOPS WHEN I LIFTED IT WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY

IF MY PICS DON'T SHOW UP, PM ME TO FIX THEM

currently redoing my '72...i'm going to run 44" Boggers on H1s, with 52s up front, shackle flip in the rear hopefully i'll get 6" of lift and i'll be tapering the fenders...hopefully those meats clear

the rear is 4" ord shackle flip + 1" zerorates, 56" springs and 12.5 travel shocks.
the front is 4" TC ezrides springs + 1" zerorates and 12.5 travel shocks.

so total is 5" in the rear and 5.75" in the front since the dana60 gives 3/4" of lift.


38x13x16 mounted on 16x8 with 4.25 backspacing.
