I am glad that my driveway is very straight. I did the rear shackle flip. Parts for the front lift haven't shown up but I go bored and mounted the tires anyway. Front didn't fit too well!!!

how hard was it to get the back plates on with the fuel tank there?

Not yet but I have started. Don't really want to put money into the 10 bolts so I have been looking for something better. Picked up a 12 bolt with 4:11 for the rear but can't do anything till I figure out what to do with the front. Might just re-gear the front to match the 12 bolt for now.AJMBLAZER said:

It was not possible but I didn't remove it all the way. Just undid the rear bolts on the skid plate and the tank straps with a jack under it. Lowered it until I had enough room to get my hand back there. Didn't unhook any hoses and it all went pretty smooth. Rivets took a little while.CCATLETT1984 said:

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: M1009/36 inch swampers/nice straight roa
i would say get a 14b for the rear and a 10b 8 luge for the front. i know the 14bs are pretty strong. 3/4 ton set of axles up where i live are around 250 to 500. depends on the gears and shape of them. i dont know to much about all this stuff yet, but i really dont think a 10 or 12b is worth putting money into. i know around here if u look you can get a 14b for 100 bucks. if your going to wheel a lot with 36s i think a 14b would be a better choice. i know many people that busted 10b.
hope this helps later

Where did you get the shackle flip kit from? ORD?

Nice job man! I'll have to come see it one day. If you need help finding parts, let me know. I know a few people here, there, and yonder.
Looks to me like the shackle flip came from DIY 4x4.

You are correct, shackle flip is from DIY. Top came from ORD but I think they are just about out of them.
