check--- make sense since you're going to be so low with your body over the wheels.. I forget that airbags can't open up or "stretch" that far.. Good idea..

outstanding work! so clean and the exhaust is killer

jhrusk · 01-13-2013, 01:55 PM

Thanks guys for the comments,I was having excessive camber change when I get the truck low,It always bothered me so I decided to make some new upper a-arm mounts.I moved the upper mounting point up around 2 inches and it really made a world of difference. I had mybe a 1/2 degree of camber change through the range of suspension travel that the truck will spend its time in.Anyone looking to lower a truck a lot I think would be best to get a Porterbuilt crossmember but if you have more time than money you can build something similar to this.I dont have a lot of money in it but I have a huge amount of time in it.

Was you able to use the original drive shaft? If not details please
Posted via Mobile Device

jhrusk · 01-27-2013, 05:23 PM

I did not use the original as the frame I used was bare when I started,I did use a standard one piece that was shorted and re-balanced.

Bomp · 01-27-2013, 05:47 PM

aggie91 · 02-08-2013, 10:14 AM

You are doing amazing work. I like your rear brake line routing. I just read thru the whole thread, Can you post your wheel and tire specs? I like the look and might want to do a similar tire size on mine someday. Thanks!

jhrusk · 02-08-2013, 02:35 PM

not a problem aggie91.15x8.5,285/70/15 rears, 15x5,165/80/15 fronts.american racing tto wheels. And thanks for the comments everyone.

and it was nice meeting you today, wish we could have talked longer but traffic was pushing us on down the road. i will for sure be keeping up with this one.

jhrusk · 06-17-2013, 06:56 PM

Hey guys I have'nt posted in a while been busy with different things. I had the opportunity to build my first set of stainless headers for a friend of mine.He built a 55 chevy with a 454 and a tremec 5-speed, it also has a rack and pinion so buying headers that would fit was out of the question. Here are a few pics. Name: ss1.jpg
