Thinking about ordering 40 ltb's 16x16 what y'all think? Then getting ready to order poison spider outboard kit.

Theses Dana 60s are going to get 4.56 and detroits. Spicer ujoints 1350 yokes.

Called Dever springs today talked to the partial owner slash spring designer he said he can make me some nice springs for a 3 inch SUA lift I like the idea of a flexy 3 inch lift on 40s low rider.

Any problems with my build ?? So far, I'm also looking for a used hydro assist kit that is dependable for street use easy to find replacement parts but NOT top of the line. Any tips on this.

Well the 40 ltb are back ordered untill January so think I'll be looking at a different tire. They said the are moving the build location of the ltb to another place over seas and that's why they are out and on back order.

I'm trying to pick up some h1 wheels, with the PVC inserts or a good deal. They are kinda hard to find locally.

I've been on the forums picking up good used parts. 4.56 gears, new master install kits some 35 spline outer stubs and hubs. Diff thick cover. High steer arms, hydro assist Psc. I think as far as lockers I'll buy brand new. I'm looking to run low low sprung over on 40s maybe Sam 35 tsl, they are on back order everywhere but the guys at interco told me personally that he would find me some if I can't. He said All boggers and all tsl are being produced currently and all small Ltb is being produced, large Ltb will may be 2013 nice guy. I'll post some picks of the grinding and cutting i did cleaning up the axles.

So I plasmad the parts off, with my new Eastwood plasma cutter (3 year warenty) of worked great I've never used one before but it went fast and made nice cuts.

Then I grinded down the left overs smooth, slapped some paint on it just for now, once the housings are empty and gutted I'll look into trusses if it's necessary, I hope not since I'm trying to keep it light weight as posible. And then I'll sand blast them down and paint them with some nice anti rust sealer or something industrial any ideas on what paint to sure?
