no....thats a bit big...the pattern on the on the tahoe would match though

would be sweet to have those on my chebby though

yeah its the stock 2 1/2 ton pattern let me know if you need a hand as well

 

[wrecking-crew]

you need a bigger ladder

 

[4x4builder1]

I know a 6ft would be better

Right now I'm trying to push and get my street legal wheeler on the road, but maybe after the holiday weekend I'll try to get together with ya.

Got some questions. What are your t-case plans? np200 or something else? Are you gonna use dual cases? Just trying to figure out how you're gonna get the shafts all the way down there!

Looking for a pettone forklift case because I have a np 200/ deuce case combo but its freaking heavy (600lbs) a pettibone will give me almost 15-20" drop and weighs 2-300lbs

I don't know. That whole center section that your links run to concerns me.

 

[4x4builder1]

I can see your concern but the bracing couldnt be put in untill the link bars were finished. There will be 7ft long 2x2 tubing running front to rear on both sides from right above the lower link bolts to the frame

 

[4x4builder1]

heres a crude representation of what were thinking. I want to use screw jacks under the 4 link drop to relieive some of the weight from the frame and then brace the hell out of it

 

[4x4builder1]

this is why there is no bracing at this point I didnt want to run the bars this long for the braces but shorted higher angled braces would run right into the lower link bars

 

[4x4builder1]

the 2x4 tubing that meets the frame is also getting diamondplate to tie it into the frame and hide the fact that itsjust 2x4 tube at least when looking at it from the side

 

[4x4builder1]

Do you guys think 1/8th wall 2x2 tubing is enough for the frame braces in pic above Id rather try to keep it as light as possible

 

[4x4builder1]

with the diamondplate
