Re: 90 burb (( daily dragger))

87 dually burb 06-05-2009 09:25 PM

Re: 90 burb (( daily dragger))
 
I am that is all I got cut before the thunder storms rolled through all this week
it will be cut even across the back of the wheel wells and enough in the front to still fit under seat if you look at the wheel opening I have about 8" in front of the wheel well that will be filled in flat for more leg room and future speakers

justpball 06-09-2009 04:22 PM

Re: 90 burb (( daily dragger))
 
did you do the front arms that way so the bag can set in the hole so it will be lower? did you still use cups on the bottom of the bag?

87 dually burb 06-09-2009 08:46 PM

Re: 90 burb (( daily dragger))

Re: 90 burb (( daily dragger))
 
side note the notch is 1" narrower than the frame for the burbs
we notched the inner frame for it to work and 45'd the outer edges with a plate back to the frame

will have pic later to explain it better

In post#1, your first post here, what did you do to achieve that drop?

Im refering to the third picture, in post number 1.

the 3rd pic is with the 6" flip and no over load springs ( bottomed out on frame alot) 2" of travel in rear
the front is 3" belltech spindle and a SD bag kit the height you see in pic 3 is with the front aired out sitting on inner fender wheels
also note they are 31" tires it sat about 2" high in front at that time

So, thats not exactly a reccommended method? It looks real good, but if i was to do that, i'd drive it everywhere, with it being 2 inchs off the frame, im sure that destroys you after a while.
