So, we tow it over to our place so it's in town (the truck was about 50 miles away). This way he could drive it over to the driveline shop that's nearby. It's currently there, getting drivelines. (It had a homebrew on it temporarily)
It's got new springs, and is getting shocks in the next couple of days too.
Here's some shots from Sunday:

just curious, what do your neighbours think of you guys and your freinds,? cuz i know my old neighbours hated my brother and his freinds 4x4s coming around ;D
-
Eh, they don't mind. We turn off the loud tools after 10 oclock. The guy across the street has a street car he tunes and works on too.. so it's ok.

Awesome looking tracker! Where did you get it from? I didn't catch the previos thread on this one.

Also, got a 283 under the hood connected to a turbo 350, and 205 t-case, OH and a K-5 blazer 24 gallon gas tank (which fits perfectly between the frame rails)

Glad to see the flat leafs gone... those were bugging the hell out of me ;)

Great lookin Kick :o How does it run and drive?Was the rear shackel position intentional? Looks like it would ride like hell and have little or no drop :-/

They are missing links.

They are missing links.
So, when you FIND the links, are you gonna hook 'em up right?
;D :P

You are so FunnAY! ;)

ummm, ok, I'll stick to my IFS and Coils (something I understand) Any close up's of how it travels with the shackle in a streight line with the spring? I know nothing about "missing links" there fore never saw one set up like that. Educate me please.

i know what they are and what they do but explaining is might be hard but here goes.
it lets the rear of the spring(on the black tracker) droop farther(sp?) down
here is the best pic i can find:

hope it makes sence(YEA RIGHT!)

Edit:  folding shackel might be a better awnser
-
That does make sence. What I was wonderinng about is the position of the rear shakle. the line it is in at ride height seem like it would hav a very harsh ride (no side to side swing of the bottom of the shakle while the spring is bending, Just Spring bendage. With a standard leaf set up we had to re mount some that were lined up like that. When we remounted it where the shakel was more out of line with the spring (like the front one on this Kick) it wrode 100% better.

Zig,
He just upgraded his springs which caused shackle location problems. Those shackles indeed aren't setup correctly.
(good eyes)
He plans on moving his missing lnks around which will correct the shackle angle because as you stated, any down travel won't swing the shackle any further, but begin to bend at the spring. (harsh)

ok my turn for ?
1) is he running those new Toyo muds?
2) i under stand hes getting his drive shafts build right now and the one in the pic isn't what he will be running but do you think there will be drive shaft problems?
3)I forgot what axles and T-case he is running?
i think this is a simular set up to what i wanted to do for a rock rig. but i like coils and links ;D
thanks, stu

1) Yes 35x13.5x15
2) Don't think so. We'll be picking the truck up today, and we'll get to see a closer look at them.
3) See the first page of this thread. ;)

What, you don't think there's such a thing as a Dana 53? ???
Here's a website with a J200 and a Dana 53.. this is identical to what he got the axles out of.

EDIT: OK, so I was corrected it's a J3000, and I'll try to find a link to one of those.

Nope, no spelling error, Dana 53 is a real rear-end. I think it's a 9.25" ring gear too.
