MMTR Brolite

yes 10" front

10" probably fine for rear too, I think I'm seeing similar travel use in the rear shocks as mounted, but plenty of room for 12s and it'll give some flexibility for removing shackle reversal or other travel improvements.

you still have some TJ springs for me after tweaking yours? thinking I'll ignore bump stops for now and try to make more use of travel and droop to not bottom as much. I want to pull that stuff apart and do radius arms if they're thin after what yours did. next week projects. I a pair of 2" spacers for the front on the way.

ill check my spring stock after i decided if my tweaked spring on the truck needs to be replaced.  i loved how my truck rode and jumped.  was best its ever felt smooth as can be running as hard as possible into any jump or corner. 

[mr.mindless]

any idea what actual springs are on it, brand-wise? TJ 4L 4" lift fronts, right?

[M4wdFab]

they are rusty skyjacker 4" TJ coils

[M4wdFab]

looks like 468 plus shipping for a pair of 12"

wont know shipping until packed.   

Kartech gives me a 10% discount calling to verify stock.

FOX is 25%, 2-3 week lead on 10", 4-6week lead on 12"

[mr.mindless]

sounds like typical Fox

at least springs are under $200/pr

Karteck guy said they do a 4400 race discount he is calling me back in a few.  laughed at how many people he sold shocks to this week that fox has sent them to them.

$470 total for you
will let you know when they come in. 
expected mid next week delivery.

[mr.mindless]

ordered 13.5" wheel, quick release, 2:1 quickener and some shaft spline connectors.
4" TJ front coils are also on the way.
2" wheel spacers arrived.

need manual steering box and water pump asap. my power steering is dead. have not checked fluid, but those pumps just suck!

already rec'd a shift light, since my rev limiter isn't noticeable. I'll set for like 500 below actual redline and hope it holds its setting. Might try hot gluing the back of it - knob is looser than I'd like.

Need a little shop time & material for some bumpers, and to install new springs and ball joints and fab some longer swaybar links.

Should I just do radius arms as PM since it seems that replacing springs is halfway there already?

[M4wdFab]

id replace the radius arms now before your truck falls apart like mine did haha. 

bushings and new bolts to.  8" x 3/4" if i recall correctly are needed. 

[M4wdFab]

i used up the last of my 1.75x120wall for my rear bumper.  i just have 4 sticks of 095 wall left for the next bro cage. 

095 probably no good for bumpers anyway.  there is a 1.625" 120 wall size commonly at KSD that would work also if you got some. 

[M4wdFab]

shocks say tomorrow by end of day
