New Member 72' Jimmy
Got my Jimmy last year been working on it slowly still in college so not much money to put into it yet. I put a 4" lift and 35 BFG AT's on it. Got a 14 bolt to replace the 12 bolt, looking for a 8 lug 44 front. Having trouble posting a pic.

Re: New Member 72' Jimmy
Welcome to the board. Either in this subforum or the 4x4 subforum there was a post within the last month about adding a sway bar.

Re: New Member 72' Jimmy
Welcome. I did an 8 lug swap on mine as well. I used the stock Dana 44 front and I swapped on the brakes from an 8.5" 10 bolt from the '86 Suburban donor.

Re: New Member 72' Jimmy
Welcome aboard! Nice looking Jimmy! Sure that's as heavy as you want to go axle wise? Once you jump in, it get's deeper bro!
