PLAN B

This build was 2 parts 1 i have a truck I made to pretty to wheel so I'm building an ugly one I can actually enjoy. And 2. My cousin has been trying to join us for blazer bash but his truck wont be ready so we are surprising him with this one
Where I'm nervous is setting the spring perches. And shock mounts. Axle swaps are way easy but I've never had to mess with those before.
Don't sweat it, it's super easy. I was nervous about mine as well, but once I dived in, it was pretty simple. Basically just clean up the axles real good where the perches are going to be, then bolt it all together (not too tight) without welding it. Then you are free to swing the pinion up and down as needed to get the right angle. Once that is set, tack weld the perches, then take it all apart and finish welding. Shock mounts are pretty much the same... bolt it together, check it, then tack and take it apart for final welding.

If I can, I'll stop by Saturday, probably with Eric. :) @blazinzuk
 
Party starts at 10am tomorrow goes until it's finished and then meet n greet/ hang out.

Oh remember to zip tie the shock shafts. I'd love to relocate the lower mounts and use some longer shocks
