Axle swap complete!!

the other thing is will the springs line up with my coil buckets

 

[Teamexploder]

Ok, so then flex is not an issue for you then leafs would be fine, there is coil trucks on 37's but leafs would probably work better for what you're wanting to do. And good thing going with 60's if you're going to be hard on it with mudding.

 

[muddmaster]

were do u guys go mudding

 

[muddmaster]

i see u r from McClure PA thats y i was asking because i go up to treverton every cuple weeks

 

[Teamexploder]

I mainly go on trail runs, don't hardly mud anymore so don't know of mudding specific spots.

 

[muddmaster]

[Teamexploder]

Alright, post a trail run thread here whenever you go and see if ya can't get some interest amongst the forum.

I go to Keystone College lol Of course I know where that is xD What's that?

I'd personally run Coil springs. First off, they're gonna be cheaper than leaf springs (A LOT), 2nd, if you DO end up doing trails/rocks, you have the flex you need, and 3rd...that dana 44 axle I was talking about already has coil mounts on it. You would need to do a lot of fabbing to run leaves.

Oh and 4th like teamexplorer said, steering is soooo much easier with coils.

And I'd be down to help w/ an SAS...I have it pretty much down to a science.

 

[muddmaster]

any idea on wut i am looking at for a price for materials

 

[Brinker88]

**** aint cheap

$300 axle/radius arms
$250 new brakes, bushings, balljoints, etc.
$300 for steering setup
$250 for coils
etc etc etc... I could go on and on. And dont forget gears, install kits, lockers, etc.
