sweet! i love the pic of it nose to nose with your green truck

PrerunnerRob · 06-08-2008, 04:51 AM

Holy camber!
I hope you have an allignment rack in your back yard!
Seriously, how bad is the camber change throughout the travel, any chance you looked into upper j-arms Dino?
By the way, I owe you a long overdue thanks for the sticker!

Dinos63 · 06-08-2008, 01:08 PM

rob upper j-arms? the suspension still has to adjusted,after kevins it all comes apart to be powder coated.then i will have it all set .allignment rack in my back yard hmmmm i might have to work on getting one

scotts62 · 06-08-2008, 05:27 PM

Ya i agree with Joe, i like the nose to nose shot! Both trucks are sweet! What kind of wheel are those on the green one?

It might be way more then you want to do , but on some of the desert long travel trucks, they use a j-arm instead of an a-arm. It allows for equal length upper and lower arms, so you dont get alot of camber change throughout the travel.
