I can build you 4 one inch spaces out of whatever material you want I'm pretty sure I still have some one inch thick by 2" flat bar laying around to build them

But I also dropped the upper control arm down 8 and 3/4 in which with a 5-in spacer between the frame and the subframe and new mounting points for the upper control arm and I also drop the lower control arm down three and three quarters of an inch to get back to factory geometry

The front bolts are 14 mm and the rear are 12 And I used 9 16 fine thread Bolts Great eight To bolt the spacers and subframe together

which hole?

I need a set of 5.13 gears but I have not had any luck coming up with a set for the front differential

Thank you it was and has been an interesting build. I was trying to get multiple pictures to post but either my phone doesn't want to cooperate or I'm lacking the knowledge to get it done not sure which

Right now I'm running the factory IFS with 31 inches center hub to bottom of the fender. I drop the upper control arm down 8¾ lowered the subframe 5" and dropped the lca 3¾ inches to achieve the factory geometry of the control arms then I fabricated a adjustable lower

Not any manufacturers that I know of. I don't know how tall your plan is to go But if you're planning on dropping down the upper control arm. I can tell you that you will want the subframe to be spaced down the exact same distance for the ease of less fabrication. Also you...

I would rather build a tube framed rockcrawlin swamp buggie. Than purchase a Mercede. But That's me

I have to agree that was where my draw back from the idea fell. And if I was going to that great of a distance. I figure might as well. Start with a dana 44 high pinion. Then go to the portal hub because the extra 4 inches of leverage isn't going to agree with the...

Which it would get me 6 inch more ground clearance and put me at 18 in total lift with 37 inches center hub to bottom of the fender.

I I was planing on building the portal hubs that I was going to use. It is a simple gear box and I have the machines to cut the plates for the case and do the necessary machining for the bearing races and I was going to purchase the gears. Then disassembled a few hub...
