Title: Tracker set up
Post by: matt4x4 on January 21, 2009, 03:53:13 AM

I have a 90 Tracker
Here is the set-up I was considering and I would like some opinions.

-GV coils
-flipped strut mount
-Ford econoline shocks in the rear

- gv steel housing with locked diff in the front
-5.12 gears
-3 speed auto tranny
-welded rear diff
-32x11.5x15 tires (not sure which brand)

My main concern is my CV joints, is this going to be too much for them and if so how can I fix the situation. I am not someone who can fabricate or weld so I need some bolt on solutions.

Any comments on the set up or CV joints would be greatly appreciated.

I dont know how much lift teh GV coils will give you. If it 1.5-2" you should be OK with just the upper strut mount flip. The CV's should be OK with 1.2-2" of lift. If you decide to lift it more you will need to drop the front diff.

...and I'm not sure just GV springs will give you enough lift to fit 32" tires.  You'll either need to add a body lift, or a good amount of fender trimming.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I already have a 3" body lift and are currently running 31s. As for the GV coils they are supposed to give 2" of lift on a four door kick, so I am assuming they should give me almost 3" of lift on a 2 door?Does that sound right, because 4 door coils on a 2 door give about 3/4" lift. Do you guys think that the locker is too much for the CV joints?

Thanks

With 32's and the crazy angle your cv's wil be running at without a diff drop, you will have CV issued with or without a locker. If you lift it 3" without a diff. drop you will probably blow out CV's every time you hit something reasonably hard. Definately look into lowering the diff to decrease CV angles and maby 37kickers toyota CV swap.

GV coils will not give that much of a lift.   ~1,5" on a 2door is what you're going to get
