I'm settin up the rear shackle hangers sorta like a formula toy.... i shortened the frame and didnt have enough to weld the hangers below like usual so i boxed it in and incorporated the hangers as well...just runnin the usual 1/2 ton chevy springs....

front suspension is just some mix n match toy rear springs.... i think im gonna change the mains out here real shortly...these are toy rears without the military wrap so i dont wanna find out how long they last...:eek:

got the front 60 hung just gotta get some offset shackles...
the axle is pushed forward about 4 inches farther than stock and the springs are long enough to allow me to use the stock shackle hanger.
Gonna call sky mfg up in the morning to see if he'll sell me the shackles seperate in his fullwidth swap kit...

I WONDER if sam at samco can make you those shackles???I know he has a scotchman and I think he might be able to handle it!!!If not post up what you ended up doing since I will be swapping a fool width 60 and 14 bolt into a 91 toy very soon!!!!

[jared]

ask samco for me if he could hook it up with some shackles... im in sac but i will be headed up for the comp on the 10th... if he hooks it up with some shackles i got some shackle tubes you could have to run yoursetup.... you probably remember me...im the short filipino dude at the comp last time....

LOOKIN GOOD KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK:Big Grin:

[jared]

didnt get any new pics up but i figured out my front shackle problem...i just took some 4wheel parts front offset shackles for a solid axle toy and i cut the brace out.... used the offset side and made a 3/4 spacer out of some 3/4" plate to equal out for the offset.... started cuttin out plates for the frame rails to add a little support... ill take some pics tommorow night when im at the shop....... slowly but surely.....
