BIGFINDERMAN Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 These pics are the first time i pulled her out of the shop for a little test and tune. In the pics of it flexed, it still has about 2" of up travel and about 5-6" of droop left in her. I still have to put gears in the front, manual hubs, build a driveshaft, get my exhaust redone, and a few other odds and ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyC Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Right height, simple setup, I really look forward to seeing this build completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hytekrednek Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Sweet ride and I too would like to know some of the specifics on the axles. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGFINDERMAN Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Thanks guys! Axles are from a 88 grand wagoneer. Lower links are 36", upper 23", trackbar is about 26". I wanted the upper a little longer but I would have had to modify the trans crossmember a good bit. It should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathybuilder Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Looks really good, great setup. I would've loved to see an upgraded/locked H233B used in the rear, but fully understand why people choose to go your route, cost/aftermarket selection etc. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

BIGFINDERMAN Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Thanks man. Yea i would have liked to kept the H233B. I actually sas'd it about 6 or 7 years ago. I didn't do my homework and just hacked all the factory link setup off the rear and leafed it with yota leafs. I wish i would have just long armed it, but at the time i just wanted it high in the sky. I ended up junking all my factory parts. I was actually going to redo it this time with leafs in the front again but after studying nissannuts site about a million times, i talked myself into linking it. Im glad i did.
