Custom Chassis with canti setup
Here are a couple of pictures of a 69 i'm currently working on. It's going to lay rocker with 22x10's and still run a/c. I also changed over the C10 spindles to work with the mustang ball joints so I can run 6 lug.
Enjoy Jr Last edited by valleycustom; 12-05-2005 at 05:16 PM. |

How much lift will you have in the front? I have 10" of front lift. If I took my upper bump stops out or put thinner ones in I may get another 1" or so. They are limiting downward travel.
I like the idea of the rear cantilever. I'm going to try some bags with more stroke first.

XXL
I'm positive. I measured it last month. I have airlift bags on the front stock spindles and SoLo lower a-arms. I get only 7 1/2" in the rear with firstones. I'll take pictures soon. Sort of waiting on my new RH mirrior, and my diamond cut headlights, and clear parking lenses. When I get all my stuff installed I'll take full raise, and dumped pics, Side to side, front up rear down, rear up front down, all at 145 psi valleycustom you'll have the opposite problem I have, not the same lift front and rear. It bugs me. It wouldn't be bad if I had a programable electric leveling set-up of some kind. That way one button you could come full up, by setting your height to the lowest level be it front or rear.

I received one of the wheels yesterday for a test fit. For future reference for anyone running 22x10's you will need to run a 7" bs to clear the fenders if your bagged and bd. Here are some pictures.

curious as to how much you have to cut into the hood supports or whatnot, are those wheels gonna clear the hood? Bye the way, looks awesome.

That is some nice fabrication. Is this a show only truck?

Aha!I get it.The lower end of the shockwaves will attach to brackets on the frame right?When the bags airup it will produce downward force on the arms and bingo....orbit.Very nice work man,I'll be savin pics for when I wanna take the next step down to the ground.
