I thought the Stage 2 could handle up to 400/400's :shrug:

There is more to injection oil requirements than knowing the total capacity and the injector tip size. Capacity is unimportant to the instantaneous oil flow requirement - the tip does regulate the flow rate, but it is not the only item in the injector to do so. For instance - last fall I was present while a set of injectors were put together that picked up 20cc in a 1000 count test at the 2ms injection window without changing tips or capacity. 20cc of fuel equates to 100cc of oil on a hybrid injector.

I'm assuming he went with the 05 an up axles because the coils ride a lil nicer than leaf springs, plus better brakes, and I could be wrong but I think you also get a tighter turning radius from the newer axle as well.

Very nice job so far! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest come together, especially the twins. I'll go out on a limb and guess that it will be getting intercooled?

Im not sure what your looking at but there's no coil in any of the suspension pictures. and if you look at the finished suspension swap it still has teh shackles in the front of the spring....

Yea he went from 2WD to 4WD using OBS Dana 60 suspension. It was definitely the easiest way, but I agree with Short Bus, there was never a better time to do a RSK at minimum, and with everything that far torn down would have been the perfect time to fab up brackets to use SD springs.

I thought about it doing the rsk kit but i just didnt want my bumper stuck way out in the front. I know im gonna sacrifice ride but i wanted to keep the front as close to oringinal. I fi dont like it i might just build a custum 4 link front end but im pretty happy with the way it turned out. I will try to get some more pictures up within the next week.
