SOA or SUA what to do?

[BoringDave]

Check out the Q78 TSL, the size is approximately 36"x11.5"x15" and has the deepest tread of any Swamper short of the Bogger.  It's a lot of bang for the buck.

Good choice on the SOA conversion.  I run SOA with the RE 1.5" springs and very happy with the setup.  I've limited uptravel to a few inches so most of the suspension travel is droop.  No problems with axlewrap here.  I'd also avoid a SRS setup for offroad use.

Yea I was looking at the Q78 Swampers as well then decided just to go with a plain old 35" radial. At this point I have to flat tow it behind my motorhome and figured the radial will last longer.

What did you do about the e-brake cables being to short? I was thinking about not running them at all and just use my line lock if I need something on the trail. I don't street drive it and after I install an automatic it will have park.

That's what I've been researching, The only thing I don't like is welding to the cast center even knowing I have the proper equipment and skill. I think I have devised a way to bolt it on

You can always make a hoop.

Stock e-brake cables work fine, just drill one new hole down low on the cable bracket on the DS framerail to lower one of the cables.

Yea I've got that part done already I mean tword the front above the pinion.  My plan is to bolt it down in the front where the pinion snubber would go if the axle was mounted in a Chrysler car. I have already drilled and tapped the bosses and tomorrow I'm going to cut and drill the mounting plate.

Well I've got the rear axle in and damn it's tall. The axle is just bolted in place for now till I can get the SYE installed so I can point the pinion in the right spot.

I'm have to figure out how to post picks and starts a build thread in the other section. I have today off (my boy is sick) so I'll work on that right now
