This is inevitable so i mine as well start a thread.


Soon as buggies are wrapped up and out of the shop i am thinking this will be the next project.
gotten to use to leather, and just dont care about fuel milage.  the build will keep it out of salt, pick up a beater for this winter again. 



4.56 14 bolt
regear a ford axle to 4.56
PSC steering
2.0 CO's or airs
40's   on H2s
low and built for 95% street

:like:


4.56 might be a little shallow. you should drive mine on the street first.

rear 4 link setup sucks. i would sacrifice anti squat to not punch the floor. lowers on the bottom under the frame rail and uppers as high as they can go with bolts dropped through from the top.

i would use a BJ ford axle like Harry, especially with COs.

FYI, stock V8 front springs moved to rear net 3.5" lift. you will like that hight and trimming for tires.

Ryan:
Coilovers will be much more friendly on the street than air shocks,

My ZJ was long arm and not thru the floor, it worked well.

You will need to hack the shit out of the wheel openings to clear 40" tires. 37" tires seem to be a good fit on the unibody jeeps.  ;)

mr.mindless:
40s for street seems silly but you have a surplus of near bald not-for-street-use 40s so why not.

agreed that may be shallow

I have a balljoint 60 housing and case. no gears no knuckles

M4wdFab:
