Superflexy install, diff drop and preservation

[phines]

Nice job Marlin. Do you have any additional pictures you can send me from the SFIFS install? I'll combine everything into one set of instructions that others can download from the site.

Yep, I will put them together. I do have a question. The drivers side zerk fitting is clearly visible on the square plate that the torsion bar key sits in. On the passenger side, its not visible and inside the confines of the torsion bar key. Seems to me they should be symmetrical? Just wondering, I haven't tried the pin pulled, but both torsion bars are lined up appropriately.

As far as suggestions, I would recommend that the torsion bars be on their forward mounting bolts prior to aligning the keys. I would also recommend that the keys be aligned such that they are leaned toward the inboard vice vertical. Especially if you are going to lift the truck. Otherwise you run into the reindexing that I might have to do. I figure 99% of those that would use this will be lifted 2-4" in the front.
I will get everything together once I test it next weekend.

Jamaican VX?

But without the diff it would be a John Dear...
...Or get rid of the VX and its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...






...Mon!

Well, I did wash all the baking soda off of it today, and finally treat the bed liner. Looks like a new truck again. I am still trying to get used to the front not being as high. It also rides a lot softer. I may lift it back up after URE and then lower it in the spring for Moab. Although it does just sit in the driveway most of the time now
