Even though I was excited to take the bastard to alto for the Halloween run, I did not want to miss Clayton to do it. Major tear downs always eat up more time than I anticipate so I am gonna start way early and it will realistically still take longer than I want it to.
It is now sitting on jackstands at its previous ride height of about 4"'s of lift. My main goal is to keep it at 4"-5". Also, I had planned to run chevy 52's up front, but I don't like that they have a centered spring pin. I am picking up a set of alcans that the guy I bought my doubler had made. The specs are 1" longer than stock(49") with a 2" offset to the front. They are also designed to give 3-4" of lift, and have a military wrap leaf already in the pack. This will shorten my approach angle by about 3.5" maybe a little more if I install a zero rate, and control the wrap.
List of Major things to do:
Swap in new front springs
Swap in new rear springs(waggie 54" rears that have a 4" offset spring pin)
Setup gears in both 60's
Swap 35 spline shafts into the rear 60
Swap old sm465 for the late model 465
Swap doubler input and redrill face for 6 bolt pattern
Mount doubler
Swap out 35 gallon tank for the 12 gallon from krebs blazer
Hard wire my winch in, and respool with new to me cable( thanks clarke).
