What have I gotten myself into?

[johnparts]

Quick update we finished the passenger side drip rail (no filler yet) and I began tubbing the rear. Here are some pictures from my phone.

This is a 245/45/18 I had a 295/40/20 on there and there was still room for more tire considering I still had the leaf springs on the car.

I love the way this looks it cleans up the side of the car so much.

So strangly enough I had 2 1/8 on the drivers side and 1 1/2 on the passenger side but the tubs are even at 15 1/2 across the bottom.

295/40/20's on the back with the leaf springs still on so there is plenty of room for more tire

Some better pictures of the drip rail

You got bit and stung by the mopar bee at the same time!!! LOL!

Keep up the good work... you'll have a nice one when you get done because it looks like you're "doing it right".

 

[johnparts]

And I'm doing it once and this will be the last one I do I think.

What wheels are those 20's if you dont mind me asking... That is a good looking project you have going!!! Im impressed allready

 

[johnparts]

They are Foose Nitrous wheels off of my buddy's Magnum. He's a;sp nice enough to loan me his Garage while I make sparks and dust.

Tuesday I'm ordering the 4 link kit and hope to have it in next weekend

 

[johnparts]

So here is the wheel I'm ordering 20x12 with a 325/25/20 on the rear with a 18x8 on the front with a 245/40/18

 

[johnparts]

if anyone wants my Coy's let me know 18x8 and 17x7 with tires shoot me a pm with an offer.

A little teaser of ride stance... with some other mods we're considering, the overall vehicle height may be just shy of 52" from the blacktop...

 

[johnparts]

A few pics of my weekend project. Welded the 1/4 tabs in for extra strength.

That's my new lower control arm mount for the 4 link I will be fabbing up the upper mounts next weekend.

 

[johnparts]

First wheel showed up today so I can get my axle length right

I'll be posting some major progress pics sunday the wife is out of town all weekend.

 

[Super T]

Here's some teasers of the wheel/tire under the car... this is about 1.5" lower than what ride height will be.

 

[johnparts]

Wouldn't it just figure someone dropped off a 5.7 intake and coil packs for free to me so I can get a push in the hemi direction.Grrrrrrrrrr Now I need a set of Jeep manifolds.

I like that ride height a lot! You should stick with it right there. Cut up whatever you have to and make it work, that looks AWESOME!!!

 

[johnparts]

Some pictures

Well I had the day off today so I decided to finish what I wanted to finish sunday. 4 Link is done minus shocks and I got to set it on the ground. I have some crappy camera phone pics and I will post more later. I did manage to get the ride height I wanted and I have room for 3 inches of up travel on the suspension before heck breaks loose on the inner wheel wells.

285/40/18 just clears

ride height established and I'm happy to say the roofline is 51.5 inches from the floor.

Monday we are going to throw the doors on and roll her outside for a naked photo shoot

NICE!!!! Love the low stance... Keep it up!

 

[johnparts]

My weekend fun. Shaved my drivers side drip rail (Pictures are for Wellis)

 

[johnparts]

Then we took her outside and took some pictures. First time she's seen day light since november.

 

[Judge Mills]

nice... i like the drip rail delete... I'll probably go the same route...

 

[johnparts]

It really cleans the look up and I figured out how to weather strip it without using the trim that holds the rubber in. They make strips with clips in bulk rolls that you just have to drill holes for then pop the strip in. SOOOOOO much nicer looking.

 

[johnparts]

This is the next chassis mod on my list

 

[Judge Mills]

very nice.. I haven't seen anyone post that in a year or so... how much did that run you? Or did you fab it yourself?
