Rocky Mountain Wire Rope and Cable

Summit Machine would be my first call.

Make sure you adjust your TV cable correctly, or you'll be shopping for another 700r very soon. By my understanding, it controls the hydraulic pressures inside the trans, and I have seen firsthand just how little distance traveled it takes to completely burn up a built tranny when the TV cable...

Daystar is the first to come to mind.

I'll always admit it if the facts say I'm not, but then I generally wont open my mouth unless I believe fact to be on my side already. I've been a fab shop whore for under a decade, and I'm certainly not the ultimate expert. That said, I have been around the block, and the country, building...

Back to this chart, I see a clear winner on it, and it's not the body lift... Further debate this far into our conversation is justification rather than objectivity IMO. :D I don't think your body lift is going to break and kill a bus load of nuns. I just want to get the point across...

^ Like.

I'm still personally against body lifts, even in the name of a "belly up" kit. It's not too much work to do it the right way and rework the floor around the drivetrain, which nets the best of both worlds. I've gone as far as making my own billet adapters to clock cases flat, and chopped out...

This is just a general comparison, but this is a general discussion. :)

And just to clarify, I'm not trying to be argumentative. I'm simply trying to state my case as I believe to be most true and accurate for optimal performance. :D

A saw and an hour trimming fenders is cheaper and better than any/every body lift. Lifting the body in no way affords you a bit of ground clearance under anything that matters, but it does raise your COG without benefit, it can lead to body mount failure or ripping chunks of the body out around...

Finally! Here is a link to the calculator. It's a clean Excel file that I made, virus free I promise. Oh and I cleaned out my PM box for whoever tried to send me a PM. Hopefully I cleared enough space, that thing is teeny!

I have a calculator that automatically displays the height of all your common spring heights and rates based on a that measurement info. It's not revolutionary, but it does make it reeeaaalllyy easy to pick out the right spring combo's to nail your ride height precisely where you want it. Here...

If it's not shaved on the sides, it's faux. :p My list: Drive in a big desert race (Like the Mint, Parker, or the like) in a fast (class1 or trophy) vehicle, and finish the race. Finish my stupid Willys that I bought 14 years ago and drive it for the first time. Meet a girl that's...

Advance Adapters sells boots without the attached AtlasII. I used one on my old doubler setup after an exhaust leak lead to a scary Carbon Monoxide poisoning experience (yes I fixed the leak too).

:greg: I'm sure they have already sat down and run the numbers for all the popular sideXsides and simply have a chart dictating typical spring rate ranges for proposed usage. Don't get me wrong, valving is worth it's weight in gold, all I'm saying is that it's the final step, and decisions...

Holding up the sprung mass is the primary job of the springs, but the oft overlooked part, and King knows this but they wouldn't ever have time to make shocks if they spent their lives on the phone teaching suspension theory, is that they also dictate the natural frequency of the suspension...

Stiff is comparative. The rates that rockcrawlers have typically used are laughably low for fast stuff. The last car I took to King for tuning ended up with 600/700 lb springs and will run a gps verified 130+ mph out in the desert, and it's smooth as glass (considering the massive bumps you're...

My s#itbox: The tops of the 42's are 2" above the top of the hood at full bump. No big deal. Oh and the tie rod is mock up only, it won't be hanging down there when it's done. A customer's rig back in ~2005 at BTF...

I just read this and decided to read back and remind myself exactly what the exchange we had earlier in the thread was, only to realize that ballistic deleted all their posts! :ugh: I typically wouldn't bash a vendor like that, but I really believe that some companies are just toxic...
