So I am ready to do an upgrade to my suspension on my 74 EB.
Here is what it has now... (10 years old)
-5 1/2 Superlift aka Superstiff, coils in the front with dual shocks Trail Ready brand...
-Rear is a stock leaf pack, Superlift ad-a-leaf and a 2" or so block.
-Poly bushings at c cups, poly at radius arm frame mount, no idea about rear leaf and shackle bushings, assuming they are stock rubber.
Here is what I am planning on doing ( I have most of the parts)
-Wild Horses Rockcrawler coil springs up front 5 1/2
-New poly 7* c cap bushigs, new "degred" rubber radius arm frame mount bushings
-eventually going to long Radius Arm, Bauman Engineering... ***cough cough***
- shackle flip in rear / remove existing block and ad-a-leaf, new rubber bushings for leaf and shackles..
-New shocks all around, single not double.
So, thats the plan for now, at least off the top of my head.
I am planning of taking a bunch of pics of before and after of flex and anything else that might be interesting...
Here are some pics of what it will flex to prior to any removal of old parts...
Front will flex front tire 22 1/2" off the ground.
Rear will flex rear tire to 27" off the ground.
I am not using any RTI ramp measurements, cause I dont have one as you can see... But I will measure every time the same way.
