Nice work man! And keep us posted, I have not seen that thing much in the past 6 months.

[87 dually burb]

thats cool
I saw it on a build here myself before I did it
so what are you doing next to lower the front a "z" or dropped crossmember?

[MI2CHEVYS]

Thanks tvblazer. I haven't been feeling good in a while, but I'm trying.

No , no Z or dropmember.I like the way it sits. I just want to drive it while I can, so i'm going to finish some things with the rear suspension and get the firewall, dash and jambs painted so I can begin to put it back together.

I will keep you all posted.

nice , reminds me of my 79 back in high school. u ever thought to flip the upper a-arms over and swap them side to side so it correct that bj angle?

i just hacked the hell outta 3-ton coils and cut off the bump stop mounts. like 4" of crossmember clearance,vw bug front shocks and longer upper a-arm bolts wth custom spacers. it aligned out and rode pretty well. always thought to flip those arms because of the bj angle, but never did....blew the motor, joined the army, yada yada

Thank you.
No I never heard of anyone doing that. I will have to look into it. Do you have any pictures of that suspension set up?

[justpball]

did you cut the rear floor or is it all under the stock floor?
