Dude...should have mentioned this before, I'd have loved to have been there and been able to watch a 'Trial" run before I do mine later on spring.

What areyou doing for lift/tires/gears?

where are you at? for lift, just enough to run 35's, not sure on how much exactly yet. the tires im ussing temporarily are 35 bfg mts, and once i burn them out ill got to a interco tire. for now, im just runing the gears that are inthe axles, no idea on what they are cause im gonna go up on them anyway so i never bothered to look. it really wasnt that bad. took a 13/16, 11/16, 1 1/8, 5/8, 1/2, i think thats it. on the driver side arm, i couldnt get it separated from the frame, so i droped a commalong on it, and hooked to the side of my trailer its sitting on, poped right out.

Looking good! Shoulda just torched it all outta there, makes quick work of the TTB Crap. When we did my buddies SAS took us all of 15 minutes to have it in a pile in the shop.

We need some more detailed pictures of your assistant as well.......

When I did the SAS on my '67 the bottom of the cab to shop floor is 29 1/2" with the 36s on it. Makes for a lil leap to get in

well, a close up of the master mechanic herself she pulled everything on the passenger side herself except the radius arm, and i had to break the pivot bolt loose, but she did it all. she digs the tires, but she digs the 35's better
