4 link SAS+lift

[cdawall]

Just picked up my set of tons, gonna be cutting down my rear wheel base and trying my hand at a tri-4 in the rear with air shox. For the front I was thinking 4L, but after seeing yours and realizing there is little room the 3 link looks like it would work just fine.

Ill be using a fuel cell to get rid of that low-hanging OE fuel tank.
Any words of wisdom or suggestions prior to the build? It will be a d60 and 14B 4.56 locked disc all the way around.

4.56 isn't low enough unless you have some sort of large V8 (351/BBF) I would be looking 5.13 and deeper.

Plate your frame

Wont be as bad since he is ditching the leaf springs in the back. Less frame twist with his setup. He will need to box and plate the mount sections outside of that I doubt it will have many issues.

Got some 4340 chromo's and yukon hubs on the way for the front. Should be pretty prepped for running 41.5's in the front with the V10.

Did you have a behemoth strong box in your truck? if so would you like to sell
it after your upgrade to the v10 and zf and doubler?

Only ever had a single 1354 in mine.

question about that 3rd link up front, what height do you have to set it at?
- Angle joint down to frame? or up to frame?

Also what angle from axle tube to frame laterally did you use?

And from what ive read it looks like the bottom like on the arms and the top 3rd link appear to be on the same vertical plane on the frame.

It's set to the same distance it is on the axle between mounts. No idea what angle its the same as the lower links.

I have few updates I am still deployed. Wife does want the superduty fixed which mesnd the 6.8L might be finding its way into the f250. Not a huge downer since a simple tranny is all that is keeping it from moab when I get back. If the 6.8 goes into the f250 that leaves me a possibly good 5.4L block with a thrown rod, 4R100 and nv271 all of which will fit in the ranger with a lightening supercharger on top...

 

[cdawall]

V10 is still going into the superduty which threw a rod. I have a new house and need a plow truck without question, the beat up superduty fits that build pretty well. The 5.4L should be hopefully good enough to rebuild, if not the blocks are plentiful. I have also gotten my doubler parts from behemoth along with the NP205 brace.

Ranger+V10/ZF6/NV271 loaded up for the trip from Houston to SD.

Nice bundle of parts their!! So your going to put the 5.4 in the ranger after rebuilding it?

 

[cdawall]

That's the plan. 5.4L/4r100/nv271/np205 combo will be more than enough for the truck not to mention 5.4L's with cams sound sexy.

 

[Ford78]

Those 5.4 do sound good, alot better than a v10 with pipes.

Got some stuff done today. The 4340 35 spline shafts are assembled, one hub is apart, both diffs are drained ready for new fluid and the transmission is partially reassembled.

Also broke my snap-on dead blow will have to hunt down a truck.

Things left

Install 35 spline shafts
