Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
cause its simplier i guess, i never really thought about a watts link to tell you the truth. Also theres not much clearance between the diff housing and that rear crossmember. Plus with the canti/rocker arms theres already going to be a lot going on back there.

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
When you weld the brackets to the axle, is there fluid inside?

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II

Im surprised your attaching the axle end,inboard the frame.Wont that make for excess body roll? Last edited by Inverter; 12-29-2009 at 11:51 PM. |

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
Theres no question it will work,I was just thinking you were going to run the arms parallel w/the axle tube w/the link bars reaching over the frame. I think 1badsvt has that kind of setup,,dont remember exactly.
Im not a suspension guru,by any stretch,I just know that its best to attach the load supporting links as far out as possible so the transfer of weight isnt accentuated as the vehicle turns.I almost sound like I know what Im saying Last edited by Inverter; 12-30-2009 at 12:19 PM. |

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
Well i made some progress forward and then a whole lot backwards. the forward progress is that i got the other front cab mount gusset done and redesigned the rear one, and made the other side. Now for the backwards progress i decide to ditch the canti setup as i couldnt get it the way i wanted so im going with the bag on the bars like the old setup, but im going to make a new upper wishbone out of round tube. Not to happy about this but I want to get this done and cant afford to spend more time on the canti setup. thois setup will be functional and simplier.
So here are the pictures. Cab mounts Redesigned rear mounts. And the rear setup progress.... Justin

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
Well i got the link setup put back together, i reused the old wishbone because io didnt have enough DOM tubing to make a new one and didnt want to cut the other bars up. so i reworked the wishbone so it looks a little better. the only thing i need to do now is make longer tabs for the axle end, to raise the bar, as the front mount in to low for my liking and proable will hit the driveshaft.
anyways heres the pictures... Justin
