Re: 52" front spring swap, is it worth it?

Sounds like your planning on doing the same thing im doing with mine. Ive already got the 14bff and d60 front swapped in a sm465 4 spd with a np 205 and got the crossover steering. Im in Afghan also and am planning on doing the 52 swap when i get home. Through the reaserch ive done a few people were saying moving the axle foreward a little bit is good because usually fender rubs happen on the back of the fender like mine always did with 35s on it. check out diy4x.com they have a hanger setup thatll make things a little easier possibly. There is also a video of a guy with a k5 on youtube installing the front hanger from diy4x and doing the 52 swap. Im not sure what the title is of the video youtube dont work where im at but i think i searched diy4x or 52 swap. because the 52 swap gives about 4 inches if you use a stock height spring for mine im planning on using a 4" lift 52 with sky-manufacturings front spring hanger drop kit for another 4" and hopefully be a total of 12" then for the rear do the shackle flip and 8" springs. hope some of this info helps let me know how it all goes and post pics.
