Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
maibe you can do the monster cable setup that most of the audio lunatics use along with a good relay that way the amperage dont get as high , im not sure but using a (good namebrand ) capacitator from the audio setup might help too flattening the startup peakcurrent of the compressor
there accuswitches that are being used in campers mostly that helps charging a second battery on a single altenator and prevents drawing current from the starterbattery to power the interiour lighting when camping so the engine will still start when the other battery is death |

are you looking for a particular air pump? 2 cyl? 1 cyl? Edit: I need to look and see what compressor is mounted in our service truck. It is tiny and POWERFULL. |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I just went all the way back to page 5 to see what you did to get your D80 mounted... the first time. And I am asking both you and Ryanroo this question. If you hypothetically mounted your axles on leaves(not the Ryanroo AirRide), would you build custom mounts to move the springs out further, or would you stick with just moving the spring pads in?
|
Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Spring pads in. moving the mounts out would put a lot of leverage on the frame and the mount. wider is better, but to do the mounts wider would be way to much work for not uch benefit.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
On mine, I just cut off the cast mounts, and got some axle perches from DIY4X. I happen to have my rear suspension for sale if you're interested. My DIY4X shackle flip, new springs, D80 spring perches, u-bolts, cast upper retaining plate, D80 lower mount, and front spring hangers. I'd seperate the stuff for sure. If I keep it around, it'll mean I need to put them on something. :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
We finished up the 02 Dodge job this week, and I've gotten started on my GN and frame. I got the cross members welded in, and boxed in between them. Here are some smokey shots.....

I sat it in the frame and low and behold the release handle hits the frame. So tomorrow, I'll notch the frame, install a tube to give clearance, and then weld in my lower supports and weld the center plate in. Also, my brother took the center section to work to sand blast it so it doesn't retain it's dredger look. :lol: |

That's a 5th wheel, not a gooseneck. Just sayin. :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Well today I added some cross members to support some more weight under the center section. I then welded them in, and fit the center section to fit. Next, I cut my hitch release pin and used a die grinder to clearance the housing to allow the release pin to go up farther. I welded the handle back on, and walla! I have clearance over the frame rail and no need to cut and notch the frame rail. Then I placed the center section in and welded it up. :metal:

I'll replace the last 2 stock cross members, and then start boxing the frame. :sumo: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...322_123649.jpg |
