uhhhh .... wouldn't that be considered 'extreme suspension'

[CopyKat]

When was the last time you saw a solid axle prerunner? They are rare and are out there, but mose pre-runners favor TTB, TIB and SLA setups.

I say Let the SAS guys have the extreme suspension forum, even though an SAS isn't really extreme, since it's claimed to be a weekend bolt in affair.

[Ranger#1]

theres a diff from longtravel 4x4 prerunner style and rock crawler long travle

[CopyKat]

Bump travel and articulation travel, are different.

Yes these ones are, but they have been modified for the D44 knuckles too. Next set will be different, much different.:icon_welder:

Cut/Turn and extended?

i noticed your brakeline setup. did you run braided line down from near the beam bracket all the way to the caliper. its tough to see but i would think that a short flex on the caliper and a short flex at the bracket would be easier? could you get better pictures of the brake line setup

I had the line and the fittings so that's what I used. Next set of beams will likely have a shorter flex line with hardline between them.

FWIW right now I only have 4 Leak points on both front lines. If I was to go with a hard line and rubber flex lines I would have atleast 4 per side. I've run similar setups for the past 5 years and never had issues with the lines. I can still lock up the fronts and I've got F150 D44 calipers and rotors.

there is a 85 chev full race truck a few miles from my house. full tube chasis, suspension seats, 600 hp, rad in the rear, no inner box, with a pile of travel, fiberglass sides and fenders, lexan windows, AND solid front axel. This truck has over $40 000 invested, and has been raced all over, trying to find pics for you guys
