Thats cool. I was not even thinking about the spring under set up.
Spring under is the factory setup for wagoneers, and thats why I stayed that way. I don't think you can really make one of these spring over because of where the differential is in relation to the springs. Spring under is better for other things as well. The axle in my truck is set up identically to a wagoneer. It sits at the same angle etc.
With the blazer it was design for a spring over which made for a huge lift. not a bad set up. i guess for the rear you just extend the shackles, add leafs, or new lift springs all togethor correct? I wonder what all comparable can be done for the coil sprung rear peeps.
I put in Jeep wrangler 6 inch lift springs all the way around my truck. I had to make new spring mounts in the rear also. Mitsu springs are an odd size, and I did not want to go on a goose chase for that. Coil people could just put spring spacers in.
Just an idea could you intergrate into your front cross memeber the nessacary bracket for the steering box swap? Then you can also clock your steering box to not have so much of an angle on the steering shaft.
I guess you could. I dunno. maybe.
O yeah what about late 80's early 90's ford bronco d44? Could it work? Those are easier to find in my area than the waggys.
Not very well.
As far as the master cylinder will this be a problem for the v6 or gen2 peeps? those calipers are pretty large, but never notice if the master cylinders are different.
the Gen1 2.6 trucks have a 7/8ths master cylinder bore, and it was not NEAR enough. the Montero sports I looked at had an 11/16ths bore, and thats not enough either. Maybe a gen 2 would work.. I dunno.
I guess the only real way to know how much lift you truly have is to compare it to a stock one side by side or measure from flat ground to the frame with a stock size tirees. good job.
I'll measure it to my stock diesel rig.
