Air NEWB Geometry Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MONTEZ · 10-27-2010, 07:15 AM

Being that I haven't been able to find exactly what I want for a rear suspension kit, I have been playing with the idea of building my own. I plan to use parallel bars on the sides with a bolt in hanger and weld on tabs/brackets on the axle. My concern is if I set it up for the lower bar to be parallel to the lower frame rail at ride height, where would I set my instant center to? I was thinking maybe at or slighty in front of the front bumper. Anyone have any advice on this?
