That said, if you're running normal street tires and messing around like a normal driver, i wouldnt worry about it. If you're going to take it down the dragstrip on a regular basis, or if you're planning on putting drag radials or slicks on it... then Id start to worry about it. otherwise... its fine. you'll burn up your street tires in a cloud of smoke before it breaks. |
Re: Daverods 52
Great thats all I want a big cloud of smoke. Hell, my frame will be on the ground anyway. It's not as if I'll be going anywhere.:lol:

Your right Dude. A parallel 4 link would help minimise the pinion angle. But Dave doesn't care. He likes to burn up money anyway. :haha:

Re: Daverods 52
Got my rear air kit for 125 off. :metal:
Saving $$ not :devil: it. Strodder:lol::lol: What you doing for bags/cups in the front Paul. |
Re: Daverods 52
I bought some off a guy local. He said they are SD cups. And I got a set of DOM II's 2500 i'm gonna use. Most people say you dont get the lift that you big lift, but I'll just have to see.
They have them on sell right now for $185. cups, 2500 DOMII, line and some fittings. I was talking to Jason (SD) the other day, and he said that he doesn't like the bags on the outside of the frame like that. He said that they will twist, so just watch it. I'm still not sure how I'm gonna run mine. I may go bag behind the axle! |

Here is your kit installed on a truck so you know how it looks.
This is what I use for my background so I know what it looks like! |

Re: Daverods 52
I think the twist he is talking about is on the link bushings because the bag mounts are not centered over the bar. With them hangin on the side of the link bar it puts a twist on the bushings and may wear out faster.
|
Re: Daverods 52
:new::hm: Is the twist coming from the truck going up and down or from the engine? I really don't see it. It's bolted to the axle on one end. ??? Most your shocks are mounted that way.

Re: Daverods 52
Sold my old frame for 150. Parts for parts. Still have the old transmission.:smoke: Don't think I'll get rid of it very easy.

Wire whipped my frame painted it . Sand blasted my lower arms pressed some new ball joints in and painted them. Ordered some bags for the front and some cups. Rented the press for Auto zone pressed them myself. Did'nt know they rented the press.

Re: Daverods 52
The twist that I'm talking about is going to be at the bushings. Because the bags are offset on the bar. You know the bars will mount under the frame with the bags on the outside. So that will give you a little bit of twist.
No I dont need a trans. Just so you know you will have to cut the spring pockets in the front for the bags to sit in and not rub. Once you get your cups and bags check it out. |

The cups weld in? I was kinda wondering how that worked. Does this mean I'll have to repaint?:lol:Guess I better get some metal.:metal:
|
Re: Daverods 52
You can buy weld in cups. or you can get bolt in like I have. Most people use the bolt in, no holes to drill, they go in the factory holes for the shocks.
