that's just crazy funny 
that used to be my favorite kind of wheeling but now too lazy to scrape off the chunks.

I spent some time an a friends lathe and cut down the axle flanges for the disk brake conversion on the scout 44 I'm putting togather.
My plan is to use 2-bolt CJ front rotors and mid 80's Caddy calipers.

Well I started sanding, then I broke the sander but the part is only 6 bucks from DeWalt. 1 of the POs had an engine fire, so instead of sanding and then repainting they just painted every where that the paint peeled. The only part that got pitted from the fire was the hood, and I have another one for it. The sanding off the paint is a pain, so I used a block sander until my arms got sore, which was about 15 minutes, and decided to just order the part to fix the sander and go from there.

I think I told them 88 f250 4x4 here is the part number
For the rear I'm not sure if there is something you can buy or not. Might have to make your own.

I got them from the ford dealer they were 15.88 each. They gave me an extra 2 1/2 inches of travel.

Hey Kickenjeep
I flexed my Jeep the best I could at home today, I now have 2" of front shock travel left when it's on the bumpstop.
I have the bumpstop spaced down 1 1/2" from stock, I think I'm good to go now.
Next is to work on the back ones as they look like they could be real close to bottoming out too. I'm thinking of just welding some pieces on to make them longer. I should be able to get another 1" or 2 out of them.
