Those look pretty good, and they might give you the option of flipping the coil buckets from one side to the other, and thus placing the shocks in front of teh axle instead of behind it. Does the the drivers side include the trackbar bracket? If so, that would be super trick <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>I think another option, that might be cheaper, would be to get some custom coils made that are 4.75" diameter at the top, and 5" diameter at the bottom. Since you have to buy coils anyway, I think this would be a viable option. The difference in diameter would act as a variable rate spring, and you could retain your existing buckets to cut both part and labor (welding) cost. <p></p><i></i>

Track bar would not come on these as they are just made for the TTB I might oder a set and see how they would work. since I am in the Middle of designing the Ultimate dana 35 TTB. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Sounds like a joke but I think it is possible. <br><br>Kris <p></p><i></i>

Well the Work so far is to replace all weak TTB Dana 35 Parts that normally cause us to hate them. The work is being done on the Explorer prior to the Dana 44 Solid Swap for fit and test perposes. After that the Ultimate TTB will be installed on the Navajo<br><br><br>This Project will upgrade every part of the Dana 35 TTB Except the Pig... The list of parts follows.<br><br>Modified I-beam<br>Extended Radius arms<br>New Steering Knuckles<br>New larger Spindles<br>New larger brakes<br>New larger bearings<br>New larger Hubs<br>New larger stub shafts<br>New larger Ball joints<br>Super Runner Steering<br>Eldebrock Remote res. Shocks<br><br>There is a Down fall to my conversion you must install new wheels with a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
