Ive been doing some searching around and some homework on rockwells. i am thinking of going this route with my truck. i would like to hear from any of you that has done the same thing. i see several members have done this or is in the process. if you could post some specs on your trucks and pictures it would help me out. i would like to hear what springs/shocks/tires/steering/ brakes your running. also what transfercase. just how big of a tire can the np200 handle? it seems it would probally be worth it to convert to a np205 the way people talk, or not? im going to be running a sbc 350 and an sm465. what needs to be done to the tranny for large tires? new flywheel? bigger yokes for both the tranny and tranfercase im sure is high dollar, i have not checked on them yet. anybody ever used the hydro assit from west texas offroad? the redneck ram i think they call it? i have a couple of power steering boxes and pumps off full size jeeps. could the stock springs ever be enough for rockwells? they seem stiff as heck but i dont know if they could handle it. i was planning on just trying to to get it driveable by spring but in the future i want to run 46'''s or bigger and i might just start on that first thing. i keep seeing militray tires cheap in the r20's and its tempting. it looks like i can get the axles and tires somewhere in the $1500 range. steering i think can be done in the $800 range? springs and shocks, no idea. i can get the driveshafts made for free, i just need the supplys. maybe have to freshen up the axles some. should be able to pick up an np205 fairly cheap. how about pinion brakes? they are not to bad it seems, need to do more research on them though. i can do all the fab work i just need some advice. anything that i am missing? im sure there would be a couple hundred for misc. items. anybody have regerts? anybody want to talk me out of it? sorry for the long winded post, probally more questions to follow. thanks, tim.
