For sure big... Im doing it for my sake, and to give y'all something to look at. Thanks copperhead it should start rolling soon money goes way too quick, and she has been put on the back burner for abit, but ill start rolling again soon. Every time i see it im like a kid that just got a new toy lol. Also in hindsight i shouldve just made this my build thread, and not just sfa swap because i dont think im going to stop lol. Gonna do big 3 after sfa is done, build a front and rear bumper with a jeep style tire rack because i think 35s will come close to ripping mine off the body, roof rack with some way to hold mine and my brothers kayaks on, composite headlight swap(with hids), put a shift kit in the tranny/high friction bands, exocage, and a 5.3/6.0 swap when the tank of a 4.3 decides to go.

 

Front axle is halfway on and holy **** this thing is going to be huge... The pic is with all weight on the axle does my shackle angle look alright it's 5 degrees forward with no weight on it.

 

lol angle looks ok i guess what springs are those up front? i think i used 6 inch skyjacker springs off a k5 on mine and thought it was to tall so took a few leafs out and it lowered it down like 2 inches. also makes for a stiff ride, those k5 springs dont move at all

 

Stock Wagoneer springs, Yeah i bet k5s are lead sleds waggys are seem like they are too tho... Their pretty soft but thick. I got the drag link on today and the steering dampener and everything was going great until I decided to put the wheels on and realized the centers were way too small... Anyway I can Dremel them out and not have them crack on me they are stock steel wheels from a 2000 z71. Also thanks for the reply.

 

The shackle angle should be closer to vertical, but I don't think it will contact the frame as it sits.

I'd guess you're at about 12" lift! Sweet!

 

Sounds about right! Im so happy to see it start wrapping up although i still have alot to do lol. Any idea on cutting the wheel centers to fit the hub? or is that too dangerous? I think there is plenty of material there.

 

Boring the wheel centers out is fine. Ideally you would bring just the wheels to a machine shop and have them bored concentric and round, but I've seen guys torch out the hole with no problems(looks like a hack job though)

 

Awesome, hopefully a buddy of mine can do it with his mill and be easy on my wallet lol. Also something else i got to looking at. The brake line on the front with weight on it I'm gonna need ~ 30" to go to the stock mounting location, and i cant find anyone local that carries it the only place on the web i found that has it wants 120 bucks for 2 of them which is astronomical IMHO. There any other way to run the brake line? Maybe running hardline to the axle then soft over to it like its done on rear ends?

Thanks again

 

Our shop can make them you, but I'm sure you can find somewhere closer here.

 

Two within 100 miles of me hopefully its not too high, Thanks!
