heres another project im workin on. i know its not a dually but its a cool build so i thought id share. i started this week on guttin it because im at a standstill on the dually. waitin on my mmw arms to come in. its a 94 2 door blazer that i painted in green raptor liner with the floor done in the same stuff, building a full cradle and four linking the front and rear suspension. running 5 ton rockwell axles and 67" checkmark tires. heres where im at. should have the motor pulled this weekend..
the 5 tons..
i saw you mentioned you are getting arms from mmw? what exactly did you get them for? did you have them lengthened or shortened or running them just more for show.
I think they ran me about 1250 ish shipped.. I got them lengthened because im doin the 3/4 ton setup. I had to get new arms because my drivers side arms were mangled from the accident so since i needed new arms i just decided to go big or go home and get the mmw arms. I cant wait for them to show up.
awesome man. i figured thats why you running those. so heres a question, you dont have to cup the lowers like onb a stock set of lowers do you? i imagine the mmw lowers are made already dropped? i hope this makes sense.
I havent got them yet but from what he described the bag bolts directly to the lower arm and he said they are set up to run an re8 and a shock. So im pretty sure theres no cupping needed. Ill take pics as soon as they come in
messed with this a little tonight. worked on chopping the un-necessary crap off the frame rails and had to work on the rear end some. where the rear helmet goes for the upper link bars to mount to, had 5 of the 6 bolts broke off. was a lil worried about this. somehow i lucked out and got all 5 out without damaging any threads.
pass. suspension mounts chopped off.
rear shackles and hangers had to go..
no more broke off bolts in there...
jason - 5, broke bolts - 0
heavy ass rear end is hard to move around by yourself..
Looks like a crazy fun toy, always wanted to throw a straight axle under my old 2 door but never got to it. Of course Rockwells are a little different than a dana 60. lol
