I'm wondering how far can stretch the rear end before I need to move the gas tank? I've got a 6.5" lift (still on leafs) a Dana 60 rear, and TMR offset Ubolt eliminators. These claim to allow 2" of stretch. I looked underneath and it looks like I have room, but I'm not sure. I'm hoping these...

Well, the rock sliders finally showed up tonight. About 5 weeks later than he said, and no communication, but they finally showed up.

So is he a known scammer, or is he just really poor at communicating? If there's a record of scamming people I'll get law enforcement involved.

Update: So far I have -(5) 37x12.50r17 Patagonia M/T mounted on Procomp series 69 wheels -A terraflex sye kit -a full set of frame stiffeners from barnes 4wd -79 F250 axles, D44 with high steer and welded diff, D60 rear with lunchbox, both with 5.13 gears. Ordered but waiting for delivery...

A tall lift is needed for some of the overlanding I want to do. We tend to run into a lot of mud and water on the east coast.

I've found a good deal on bushwhacker flat flares, but are they going to be of any use? My tires are 37x12.5r17 and my lift is 6.5" and I'm going to be on full width axles. Has anyone ran anything similar? Is it going to be enough to clear?

I've looked at RCVs but they are pricey for sure. I've gotta see what my budget looks like when I get it all put together. I've already got a small fortune wrapped up in this thing, and most of my parts haven't even been built or shipped yet. The RCVs or at very least Chromoly shafts are...

Yep, I'm taking this on cross country trips, and the D44 isn't built to handle the 37's yet. It had a Lincoln locker in it when I bought it, but it also came with a busted u-joint and a bad axle shaft, I want to avoid this on my trips. I'm known to get impatient and a little too heavy on the...

I got in my XJ today, and there's a little garden gnome setting on my console. No clue where it came from. Is that a thing???

Just ordered 37" Patagonias and pro comp bullet holes.

Thanks for the info, I'll look at other options.

The Ironman setup will definitely "work" with one tons, I've seen it. However, as with any one ton swap, there is going to be some fabrication. I've got the full set of frame stiffeners from barnes4wd, they came in Saturday, I'm just waiting for the weather to break so I can do the work. I'm...

Is the redtop ported on the ends like the DIY, or does it have additional ports on the casting?

I'm not too worried about the links matching up. They should, but if they don't I can fabricate my own or make adjustments on the truss. I didn't get around to ordering the sye yet, but I'll probably stick to Adams Driveshaft for it. I've dealt with them several times in the past and it's...

I pulled the trigger on the Rusty's 6.5" long arm 4-link lift, a full set of Barnes frame stiffeners, 2x6 rocker replacements, and an HD shackle mount. Tomorrow I'm ordering the next venture D44 swap truss and probably the sye and hydro assist if I can figure out exactly what I need.
