That is a beast that will handle anything you throw at it.

Re: 1953 Modified
nice to see adjustments built in on the upper 4 link arms so you can adjust frame loading under accelleration if required. have you done a full suspension travel check to ensure the max height falls outside the "hit the box floor" parameters? looks beefy, what kinda power are you planning?

Re: 1953 Modified
That just keeps getting better all the time and may raise the bar a notch or so.

Re: 1953 Modified
Nice fabrication work. Is your top triangle bar mount attached to the center section or just to the brackets welded to the axle tubes? Offset 8.8 axles are a challenge to get everything mounted. Good to see the built in adjustments.
