58 gmc ifs help
I need pictures of how these setups look (stance of vehicle)
I just picked up my grandfathers 58 gmc 1 ton dump truck. I am on the hunt for a stock short bed frame. I need help deciding on a IFS setup. I dont want to Clip the frame. I am debating between the flat out engineering front cross member and no limit engineering. I dont plan on making this a racing only truck but i want it to handle well because i do want to try the sport of pro touring hopefully one day soon with this truck. plan on going with a twin turbo lq4 with a t56 magnum. (havent decided on a rear but will probably do the ford 9) flat out - price is a lot better than the alternative and parts are easier to obtain through any auto part store (no limit may use parts i can easily obtain as well). I am not sure how well the corvette suspension will handle with the truck as no one i know owns one of these trucks. I have ridden in plenty of c4 vettes and they do handle very well. i am not sure if they make crossmembers to use the c5-c7 vette suspensions or how different they are from the c4. i would plan on using the later version of the c4 if i went this route. Also not sure how much upgrading or rebuilding is needed to make the suspension optimal. No Limit - not much to say. everyone who uses them loves them. Price is almost double when all is said and done but has the results to back up the price tag. Scotts, heidts,porter all make great pieces as well and if i choose to go the no limit route im sure i will research all of them again but currently leaning no limit over those. Not sure with my being as novice as i am will notice a difference. it will be mainly a street truck that i would like to take to some events when its complete. not sure how the stance is on either. I plan on coilovers in whichever setup i go with so dont want it slammed but dont want nose bleeds from elevation either. I am going to go with No Limits 4 link for the rear as ive heard nothing but good things about it. I want the ride to be comfortable but i also understand that performance suspension isnt like driving a caddy. im sure this is all scrambled and doesnt read well. this is my first project and will probably second guess myself until i die. thank you for any input. |
