My Backhalf, and juice install......

[s10blaza]

I've always wanted to build something up with juice rather than air. Air is easier to learn on so I'll just keep with that, for now

You do great work.

[ZEROpsi]

so true... leafsprings should not be part of any air suspension system...

[gotUsic]

looks pretty sweet, i dig the world industries banner too

[Metlhed01]

ive made my decision, hydros look cool as shit if nothing else.

that backhalf looks awesome.

[idragbodys10]

looks sweet!

[Burton]

One day I will own a hydro setup.... just not today. Your setup is looking sweet!

[kitandrims]

ur frame is sexy hard work alwalys pays off... and it looks like uve put in some hard work

[93sdime]

hey what did you do with all your air bag stuff that was on your sdime?

[ZEROpsi]

got some new pics. Fuel cell mounted, pumps in their new location.

On the ground getting final mockup work, and the front x-member installed and cut for everyone who couldnt comprehend what was going on.

[C-LEE]

looks damn good bro high quality work

[HofinaterSS]

cant wait to see it finished. Looks killer

[slam-10]

looks real good, your backhalf inspired mine.

[Sneeky Pete]

That is some really good work man! I have never seen someone build their own stuff with such perfection,in such a little amount of time...Really A+

This way you could get F,B,S,S with one pump and hop on 24V lol
Just a crazy thought.

dude you are crazy... i like how you think! i want to know more!!!

could one still do 3 wheel that way?

[Squeek]

wow this just really is great looking... makes mine look like poo

it looks a lil diff with 10" cylinders and my springs cut.. wish i could afford what you are doing, or be able to do it myself

[Scrapin S15]

look's great, I want to juice one of my truck's but I'm gonna be haulin a trailer with 2 truck's on it. not sure how it's hold up with the weight. was going to use some 2800 bag's over the axle.

[LayinSdime]

time to bring my favorite thread back up lol.......dude do you have any more pics or can you get any pics of where and how you attached your back half to the stock frame???? seems to be a hot topic now and like to show ppl the correct way. or just explaining what steps you took to do it

[JollyRojer]

truck looks sick, ne finished pics?

[ZEROpsi]

Everything is far from finished. I just finished complete mockup of everything, and now im gonna beable to tear it all down, and clean all the welds, send it all out for chrome, and Powdercoat, and then get ready to paint the frame......and assemble it all again. But i will update with a few pics here, just of some randome stuff that ive gotten done since ive posted last.

I got the rear bed mounts welded to the frame, they are the tubular brackets welded to the far back end.

I got my hardlines mostly plumbed in teh back, to distribute to the stainless braided lines. I also got all my Stainless Steel braided hydro lines, the whole system is all stainless steel, either hardlines, or braided soft lines. No black hydro hose!

I made some brackets to hold some of the hoses in place for when they need to be routed to the tubes in certain places, and, i also machined some qick release handles for my slowdowns.

I started shaving the back of the cab also, to make it look better, since i will be showing it under construction for a while like that.











The only pics i have of the back half install are whati posted allready on here.......but ill see what i can scrounge up and post up.

[LayinSdime]

hey man another shot at ya......that vent in the back of the cab is to stabilize preasure in your cab so it doesn't blow the windows out what are you doing for a vent?

when was the last time you rolled your windows up?


Ive never owned a vehicle ware ive had to roll the windows up. Nor do i ever intend to. I dont drive in bad weather, and done park out side. i need no vent.

[BuiltNotBought99]

Wow everytime I look at this thread I am even more impressed with your work. Shaving the back of the cab was a great idea. That looks much cleaner. The pumps look great I really like those CCE endcaps.

[LayinSdime]

he did you cut the whole back wall out or did you just weld that over the existing sheet metal? (back of the cab)

[JACKEL]

I've never been much on Hydraulics, probably because I never understood them. I'd have to research more on them to get a better feel for it.

But, I saw this thread, saw the pics and just had to give up the coo-dos to you for your work. You have to give it up where its due. I can't believe the speed and quality of your work. Its awesome. You get some of these other guys doing build projects for ever and ever, but damn, you're truck'n right along through this.

Just had to say that your hard work is appreciated. So far, looks like a work of art. Good job and good luck with the rest of your build. I'm sure the end result will be a great thing to look at.

[pacotaco152]

i dont like juice, but man u do some killer work, looks sick as hell bro keep it up wanna see this when its done

that does look great... but that must mean you have something up your sleave, cause you wouldn't be going to all that work just to hide it with the bed in the way... so how is the bed going to move??

i dont see why people hate hydros so much.

[5.74x4]

he probally just has a buddy with a bagged truck that tells him bags are the best and has no experiance with hydraulics to base his opinion on.

Well when someone thinks hydros are bad I tell them The 2006 Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 has hydros

Quote:

The ultimate suspension compromise

According to Schreiber, "The Veyron covers a wider speed spectrum than any other sports car. It must ride reasonably well at 25 mph, and at the same time, it must be perfectly stable and confidence-inspiring at 250 mph. To meet these conflicting requirements, there are three different suspension settings: standard, handling, and top speed. Instead of installing adjustable springs, dampers, and antiroll bars, we opted for a quick-acting central hydraulic system that permits, among other things, instantaneous ride-height adjustments."

Click here to zoom.
In standard mode, the ground clearance is 4.9 inches all around--enough to climb curbs and straddle traffic-calming speed bumps. The Bugatti runs on OZ wheels shod with run-flat PAX tires supplied by Michelin. The sizes read like credit card numbers: 265-680/R-500A up front, 365-710/R-540A out back. The chassis incorporates an ambitious mix of high-tech elements (see Techtonics sidebar).

The Bugatti boys certainly got their calculations right. Even at very high speeds, the roadholding is simply phenomenal, and the car is incredibly stable. It tracks with precision through fast or slow corners, and things like traction or lift-off oversteer are never an issue

ive never had hydros, and this is my 1st vehicle with bags.. id like to learn more about hydros and how they work etc and one day do a hydro setup.. think thatd be pretty cool.. im assuming the length of the hydraulics is how much lift you get from them?

Its the length of the cylinders that determines amount of lift.
