Re: 2wd swap

Nice.

The bushing fits with grease. Rolled a edge of the urethane May have to hone them a bit. Still on the fence about the 2 link...

Kid wants a 4 link. I want simple, he wants performance. Just happy we got a rack made for it to move around carrying it was killing me.

 Pretty basic static drop for now. Unsure if I'll do full bag swap or just helpers @ this point. The plan was full swap but it sits good & it's nice not having to clearance the bejeezus out of everything. It high centered this past weekend pulling that load in the pic as it sits. Heavier loads will need some help.

Re: 2wd swap
I just welded the ends of the flip brackets to the leaf pads on the housing. Kept them from moving. Did the welds where I could easily buzz it off if/when desired.

Re: 2wd swap
Rotor fits in the wheel center. Was really concerned they wouldn't.
But the rotor got swallowed up in a 20" wheel.

11.9 according to the order. Powerstop rotors. Seems like enough room for a pad swap with out taking the wheels off. Ha !
