Haha, well since you asked for the hijack and its your thread:
I am going to run the 46" michelin XML tires. I like the pattern and the void that they have, just not their rubber compound. Since I want this streetable, I'm going to run them over something like a 47" LTB.
I don't know how much I have into it. Your 4-link is going to add a whole lot of cost that I don't have. Here's a loose estimate.
$1200 on axles
$500 OEM front locker
$250 hydro steer
$600 tires
$100 DOM/TRE's
$250 divorced NP205
$125 for 1350 yokes
$100 rims
$220 F700 rotors
$180 F350 calipers
$400 driveshafts (?)
$100 brake lines (?)
$200 metal (?, and some of it has found its way to repairing fencing or building gates)
The last three I'm not sure on. I haven't ordered brake lines, I don't have the DOM for the d-shafts, and the metal will go up.
Based upon my mental math, thats $4025. I'm sure its about $500 higher than that. I can't wait to truggy/tube out my sht. That will be $$$ when I have it
well lets see for me, from what ive ordered till now
edit: I can take out money from things that I need to sell, like my ranchhand bumpers, BW1356, D60/10.25, etc

I would have spent the same as you if I was doing coilovers/4link and running real rims/tires rather than the military crap
damn, no kidding...
Yeah, it is. I would do it if I had something to cut, like Boggers, TSL's or LTB's. The chisel method wouldn't work so well for my XM:L's though, since they have enough void for what I do. They just need some material removed from the middle of the lugs, like mega-siping.

I didn't torch my leaves, and they are laying behind the shop, burying themselves. They aren't worth saving imo.

I don't know about quads southern truck, but with I did hangers on my 89, I had to burn the bushings out because the bolts were so frozen into the sleeves. Just my .00002

aaaaand
Not to hijack, but I got my front passenger brake done last night @ 11.30
just have to do the other side, then its d-shafts & brake lines and I'll be wheeling
notice how i didn't have to put a bend in my high-steer arm... some people just have too much lift
j/k, but it will put my draglink angle somehwere around 3 to 12 degrees
I have now painted it, installed grease zerks, and reinstalled everything on the truck
this is teh caption on supermotors
Disc Brakes001.JPG
Front passenger knuckle with high-steer arm, rotor & caliper. To get the knuckle of the axle you have to pull the axle shafts, which means complete disassembly of the knuckles.
Notice how the caliper is slightly rotated toward the top of the knuckle. I did this so that I will be less likely to scrape them on rocks/obstacles. The bolts on the caliper are 16mm coarse thread, grade 8.8 (equivalent to a grade 5) and are temporary.
