Scot, what master cylinder and prop valve did you use? You did do discs on the rear, right?

I considered the disc swap based on the cost factor since I had to replace just about all of the parts but in the end I really felt the big arse drums on these things would suffice so I kept it simple. The OE bias valve for the rear brakes was removed.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
I kinda like those with the caps, bet they would really pop with some polishing...

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
looks pretty awesome man. My buddy with a 86 crew cab dually would be pretty jealous, especially it being red too and all that suspension work you've done.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
I appreciate the good vibes guys!
So I got the a-arms back late Wed night. I started cutting the bump stops off Thursday as well as laying out my cut lines & Friday I picked up the re-chromed OE front bumper. Today I chased down all new bumper bolts as the ones that came off had seen better days. Once back @ the shop, I got the bumper back on but it will need to come back off again to open up some holes & allow adjustments (needs to be pulled back 1/2" on the pass side to equal the driver side). Then I moved on to the a-arms. Drilled holes for the corners to minimize stress related issues.... Cut the spring pockets out.... Cleaned everything up & removed the remaining shock gusset on the bottom....

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
One almost done. The inner structure is welded on the outside seams now. I dropped it back into the 'pocket' & everything still fits well. This allows the front bags to be @ their spec'd height (~6") with the gap currently between my current lower a-arms & the bottom of the x-member @ ride height (~4.5-5"). There's approx 1/2" clearance between the bag & the sides.....

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Since you asked..... 2nd side prepped. They're ready for welding this weekend.
Now to research sway bar options....

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Scot,... can you run an "end-link" style sway bar (Addco), by welding a tab to the front side of your control arm?

*Edit* It appears the largest bar Addco offers for the 73-87 square body is 1 1/8". I'd prefer 1.25" as the minimum.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Nice work on the A-arm fab! My only concern would be the amount of dirt, gravel, water and debris that will collect in them...leading to corrosion and maybe even bag damage. Would it make sense to open up the four corners just a tad, to allow some of this stuff to escape out the bottom?

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
OK, sounds good. Maybe we can touch base before you leave out on Vacation.
On the initial install that is in the thread, we put it in using an existing hole in the frame for the frame mounts, we should have moved it forward 1/2"-3/4" to avoid some interference when laid out. But since we only ran it at a set height, it worked really well.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Well.... I jumped the gun.
I just ordered a Bell Tech 1 3/8" bar. It was about the same price as the Addco units & available to ship immediately (I've heard of shipping delays from Addco/PB units) so I didn't want to get mixed up in that. I couldn't justify the additional expense for the Ride Tech 1.25" Muscle Rar (although I do like their end links). The down side to this kit is it's a silver bar w/red bushings. My uber analness won't allow red bushings so I ordered some black ones while clicking away. To my door @ $200. I'll fab my own sway bar tab on the arms & will install the frame mounts where the bar dictates once attached to the arms (relocating if necessary). Since I'm doing the caster mod, the frame attachment point will change.... The arms are fully welded now too ![]()

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Cleaned up the weld slag today & then started trimming the lower arms for the caster mod. I trimmed them enough to yield 3/4" forward shift... But, to be honest I'm not liking how close things are between the lower arms & x-member even after the clearancing.
I really want some PB 1" forward arms but trying to keep this thing @ low/no budget. The caster mod helps drivability & front wheel position (somewhat). I just don't want to open another can-o-worms so I'll keep pushing forward. New lower shaft kits are scheduled to be delivered on Monday so I'll mock things up again to see if the budget approach will work.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
What about moving the balljoint pocket forward on the a-arm?
(instead of doing it from the cross shaft end) Plate it top and bottom and call it good.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
What thickness of plate did you use to "cup" the arms? Does the pocket hang down further than the lowest point of the arms? I'm thinking of doing that to mine when its apart for the frame swap. Might have the crossmember sectioned as well. The only problem with that is then the front will drop lower than the rear lol. If you can could you post a picture of the bottom side of the arm?

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
I didn't get the shafts back yesterday so I worked on getting the arms drilled for lower bag hardware & played around w/shock relocation possibilities. New sway bar is BIG (the 2nd pic of the bushing is the new bushing on the old HD 1.25" bar)....
