GRpufnstuf Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 There are good how to write ups for the internal reg install. Sounds like you have a shorted wire in the loom leading to the regulator (just a guess) Quote Link to comment

It had divorced trans case/3 drive shafts That's what I remember too... I my dad (RIP) was going to buy one of their kits back in the mid-80's. Never heard of "dealer preps" I picked my 4x4 620 up couple years ago and recently got another. They both have Dana 30 front and 20 transfer. But they way they were built (brackets, mounts, etc...) is completely different. Quote Link to comment
tubbedbaggedstockfloored65 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 please tell me how to raise my truck? if i make body mounts 3 inches or so for body lift what all else do i have to do and what do i do for a suspsnsion lift i ran into some money not much but would love to rasise my 4x4 please anyone with info tell me how Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 How much lift are you looking for? If you do a body lift I would not recommend going over 2". The solid steering column will really become a hassle if you go bigger. You will need to address the fuel tank fill hoses and your brake lines and fuel lines will need to be looked at as well. There are a few options suspension wise, but it really depends on how much you want to spend. The quickest way to get some lift would be some longer shackles. With enough money you could link it up and go with coil overs and put the truck at whatever altitude you want. 1 Quote Link to comment
620Turbo4X4 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'm not much of a fan of body lifts myself. Re-arched or custom leafs and longer shocks would be the way to go so you have the lift and suspension travel. You'll most likely have to have your drive lines lengthened with longer slip joints and depending on the amount of lift and u/joint angles, may need double cardan joints too, which are not cheap. If you go with the longer shackles you may need some tapered shims that go between the axle and leafs to keep your pinion angles in check with the engine/trans. I'm going link and coil-overs on my truck... Quote Link to comment

Not something you would want to attempt without good fab skills, full shop and lots of time... Why raise it so high? I would invest in some aggressive looking 32" tires and some nice wheels... I think it looks good the way it sits. 2 Quote Link to comment

Re-arched or custom leafs and longer shocks would be the way to go so you have the lift and suspension travel. I agree. If my truck didn't have the 2" already, it wouldn't have ever have one. That said, it will make it much easier to clock my tcase up for a flatter belly when the time comes. :) well i would love to make my truck about 6 inches higher , how much do you guys think would it take to put coil overs and links in my truck, do you guys even know a site i can get them from or a vehicle see its just weird i am confused ? Do you plan to wheel this? 6" is a lot, are there lift blocks on your truck? hey redeye with the green 4x4 i wasnt to put an sr20 in my 4x4 or a ka 24de but i dont know what tranny to use and which rear end to useand what drive line to use will it bolt to my rear end? what about transfer case how do i connect it to a ka24 or sr20? For a KA, you can use a 720 transmission from in front of a Z series motor. Everything else will stay the same. To do an SR would require modifying everything else to use the SR trans Quote Link to comment
620Turbo4X4 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 So he needs to source the KA from a truck to have the rear oil sump? Right? I've been out of the loop for quite some time with datsun/nissan engines myself. I assume that's what you mean by z series. I think all SR's are front sump too??? I was also looking into a engine swap for mine, but steering linkage will be a issue for me with anything front sump. Quote Link to comment
