thanks man!!!

well the ratio is not really that great. i really didn't have the room do fit a good ratio in. i think what i end up with is like a 1:1.5. so if i have 6" of lift in the bag i get about 9" over all lift at the suspension. i was hoping to shot for a 1:2(6" bag = 12" lift) but just didn't have the room. not sure that is how it go but that is the way i used it. how that helped a lilttle

ok here we go. the rear suspension all assembled. i have to more the drive side pivit point a little but and add gussets and some other thing but you get he idea.

air up with 60 psi

91rebuilts10 · 08-29-2008, 03:10 PM

YEAH THATS THE SAME THING I THOUGHT TOO

Draggin97 · 08-30-2008, 07:06 PM

That setup is going to ride nice! Thanks for the info man, i am just trying to wrap my mind around the whole canti setups. I mean i get how it work, just trying to figure out how to build one. Keep up the good work!

jman · 08-31-2008, 03:03 AM

awesome

i really like the covers you used on the canti bars. really adds a little more depth to it and finishes it off.

SSKJason · 08-31-2008, 07:24 PM

looks sick dude, cant wait to see it next year at carlisle if you have it there.

thanks that was the whole idea behind them. the lever arms are going to be powder coated the same as the rest of the frame and cover are going to be chromed.

yeah wish i could have made it this year but it was not in the card, but i pretty sure it is a go for next year.

dunbyme · 09-03-2008, 03:22 PM

why isnt this done yet. im getting impatient. i really want to see this on the cover of every magazine published. even oprahs magazine, **** it. anyway, when and if the time comes when you decide you want to sell this truck, i have first dibs. or if you get into the frame building business, i want one exactly like this.

well not open but see thru i guess. i was thinking about put holes in the floor to be able to see the frame, but i don't think it would deal well with the heat

MGSDime97 · 09-09-2008, 01:32 AM

on those rear spindles, instead of where the tie rod would go, you should come up with a rear sway bar design to go there with the ball joint end links

JollyRojer · 09-10-2008, 01:29 AM

i WILL be finding you at whatever major show you attend next year lol ive gotta see this thing!! i fuggin love it.

dunbyme · 09-10-2008, 01:33 AM
