Lets see all the rides!!!!

Bah, the blazer is better.

I will miss driving with the windshield down, and door-less. I will not miss that this winter, however. Eventually I will replace the auto with a 4 speed, and the lame 208 transfer with a 205 (read "not lame"). Autos are for queers. I will just have to sing show tunes for a while. I'm also gonna make the doors quick release. Doors are for losers. I have 5 brand new 35s to put on after I finish off the ones that are currently on it.

The midget and I went many a place with no doors, top, and windshield two summers ago. Good times. Dirty, filthy, muddy good times.

35s are for stock height chevys. That's all you got, you gonna be singing them show tunes forever!

It does seem like a lot of lift. 6" suspension, 3" body. I think I might 86 one of them. I have all the stock stuff to put the suspension back to normal. is 3" enough for 35s in the dirt and rocks? I like to go stupid places.... but not too stupid. Chicken little mode kicks in sooner or later.

Not positive, but I dont think you can run 35's with only a 3" lift. I think you need atleast 6" of lift.

Leave the 6" and take out the body lift. I bet you could get 37s on there like it sits.

What is the rear gear ratio?

 

[Super Dave]

Then I may 86 the 3" body lift, and change the rear pinion angle.

Thanks DG!

Edit: Upon research and what not, I'm cutting the exhaust out of the way, and dropping the transfer case a few inches.

 

[338Shooter]

Or leave it and get bigger tires! That's how you gain clearance is to put bigger meats on.

 

[Super Dave]

Here's the thing. I have 5 brand new Mud Kings that I spent $1100 a while back that are also 35s. I think that'll be big enough for the kid... for now.

This be them.

When I finish killing off the rubber on here now this winter, I will put on the fancy jobbers. I need to either make my exhaust in to duals, or dip down the crossover a bit more to give me room to drop the transfer 2". That's today's plan anyway!

Pretty sure the gears are whatever stock is, so purty tall right now. I had 4.56 in the Jeep, but I'm thinking this primarily street vessel will need something like 4.10.

TH-350 trans? Just dump them after the headers. Mufflers are for pansies.
