The more the backspace the more a tire stick out the side of the truck correct? I got some rub issues on the inside frame rail and want to fix that problem...Almost had my hands on a set of cragger 8's but the blank-hole sold them to somone else where i thought we had somethin set up...anyways... more back space more outside the vechile yes or no? need new rims since my accident in may they are leaking air

Would love to see some specs and mounts of the bar.

Sorry I forgot to add that on here.... pre-install 235/75/15 stock suspension post lift 265/70/15 ARB HD front add 3.5" ARB MD rear add 4.2" From puttin it back to stock hight and swaping in the larger tires gave it the added lift, but it was almost 1.25" above stock hight even with stock 235/75/15 tires.

It has been one hellofa week for me....worked doubles the last 5 days in a row...But here are the pix of the install and post install. It took me about 4 hours to do the entire install. With the right tools....lol The ride is 1000% better than the used stock springs. I suggest these to anyone...I may be gettin a few customers from my job that Own R50's to let me install same on theres...we shall see. Old and used strut/springs on left and new strut/spring on right Pix of passenger side installed Front Rear Overall

I kno you are looking at the AT style tires....I have a set of 4 Cooper discoverer HT 235/75/15's 90% tread left on them. I have been trying to sell ($325 locally Id sell em to you for $250)....no luck here where I am at...Would you be intrested in them. Can meet in Danville Va somewhere....Its half way from me to you 27106.

Thanx for the replys on the shocks and hubs....I beleave I will be intalling a set soon....maybe get some for XMAS... On a side note..I got the suspension installed and missing link on. The drive is a 1000% times better. Now its time for me to get cleaned up and some sleep. Will post what pix I remembered to take when Im back among the living...lol

I'm running the wheels and tires from my SE stock(265/75/15) on the LE stock(235/70/15)....so there not entirely stock for the LE...I do have a little bit of rub in the front of the frame in the rear of the tire so Im going to get spacers. But she looks good will get day time pix of her up on here later today. Dremel...I think not.... if they dont fit they need to be bored out evenly, a good place would be a custom wheel shop. But they should fit. I have seen a few other members here have them installed with no problem.

I will let you kno about the lift.... I plan on doing mine tomorrow night....I just got the struts put together....so it wont take as much time.. I got the HD front and MD rear OME springs...will see how much of a lift it gives her...

Im not a licensed machanic, but I do lots of repairs for people on the side. If I ever find something that needs to be addressed I photograph it and make notice for the said customer...If it was me in your shoes I would note that what you found in the courtesy inspection and list all that should be replaced/fixed. Most dealers I have come into contact with do this trying to get you to pay more. But I would also not risk your job. So list what you found and leave them a note in the paper work to check these items next.

That is sweetness...How does it ride with the 35's?

I like the fact that I dont have to get out and switch hubs on....I have been in several situations where I need 4x4 right then and there...Driving down the highway and top a hill and theres 10 car pile up, slame the breaks and put in 4x4 hit median about 50mph down ditch and out other side turn around and render aid to victims...Car sliding sideways down hill on ice and embankment on right. I went for the embankment up and over 5 seconds later the car taht was sliding down the hill hit the minivan that was behind me. There are pro's and con's of having unlockable hubs. In my opinion I like the fact i can throw the lever anytime and have 4x4... Will have to see how the cv boots react to the diffrent angles also.

Well I have been doing my research on here for a few years and watched a lot of you guys do your upgrades and custom works. Im going to start my own project....called Black Beauty She will be getting Old Man Emu coils HD in the front and MD in the rear(I made sure that they were the right part numbers). She will also be getting the slightly used 4 link system from my previous R50. Custom front and rear bumpers along with a custome roof rack. The only question I have for you guys as it sits right now is the rear schocks. What brand is best suited? Rancho 5000's, Rancho 9000's, ARB's Nitro, or Bilistien 5000 series? Will update with pictures of stock to what she will become. If this needs to be move mods feel free

need new suspension in my black R50.... i thnk we can work something out to be able to help the both of us equally

I still got my 3.3 ..running when parked with few parts taken off...... rent u the smallest U-haul you can get, have a engine hoist and come down to NC and get it... think we can work something out.... I PMed you also...

REALLY NOW!!! thats great....we should get together sometime. I will be installing the Old Man Emu HD front and MD rear springs and control arms in the rear....and possiblly the ball joints and front sway links too... If you would like to come help/watch/learn.... and I will do the same for you when you decide to do your lift...

where you at in NC mate?? I am in Winston-Salem.

Hey bryan...I am parting out a 97 pathy.....can get you some decent used parts until you can afford new ones... I have PMed you with what you were asking about in the above post.

In my red R50 I was pulling reguarly 5000 to 8500 pounds including a full load of tools and guys. it ranged form lawn care equpiment to cut up trees. Never really going over 45 mph. A few trips on the highway at about 60mph with about 7500 pounds on a dual axle trailer (8x16) and up to 6500pounds on my regualr single axle trailer (6x14).

So.....I will have things set aside and have pix made of all the parts people want.....I need everyone to send me a email address or phone number so I can send you pix of parts that were wanted...after everything is said and done....I have to the end of the month to get this done before they charge me again for not paying the tax on this truck...oppps I forgot...but anyways this will give me the next 2 weeks to get it done...If you have not placed bids for parts by the 22 of this month the truck will be going to the scrap yards.

The shop that did my transmission swap did a ****** job on my exhaust pipes....In stead of them unbolting it and removing the secionf of pipes they cut out way too much and did a ****** job welding them back in place...so the pipes are not availible sry mate...

no go on the odometer...mine stoped the day of the accident....driver side visor is in good condition... What is a IAC sensor? Will have to see what kind of condition they are in.... Will pull them off and send you pix of them to see if they are what you need... as far as i kno they are in good condition. Will see If I can get them out with out damaging it. Will send you pix. Email? front or rear? Which weather stripping? can you get me a pix with a high-lighted part?

I just wanted everyone to know that it is going to prolly take about a week or more to get things rolling on this.....

Are you still intrested in the transfer case? and specific part on the steering line?

which hose specifically do you need??
