That's pretty cool! Did you do the design work? How much movement will that give you....details,man,details. Inquiring minds want to know. And is the bed still going to fit, it looks a little close in one pic.

Are those nitrogen shocks (airshocks), or just regular remote reservoir shocks? If they're airshocks, remove the leafs and fab a trailing arm. You also need to rotate your joints on the axle end 90* for any kind of articulation. What are you designing this for, travel or articulation?

the bed fits fine, i notched it so the arms dont hi the floor. the travel is going to be about 13 inches with a new leaf pack maybe more. the design is similar to autofab kit. the shocks are nitrogen. ive been runnign it for about a year as is and handles pretty good. its shows the most on gravel roads and small bumps. i just repainted and cleaned it. more to come. glad you like it. its work in progress. shotting from the hip on this one.
 
What are you doing for leaves? Look into the chevy 63's if you haven't already, good article in the tech library on here, also a great thread on dezert-rangers about home built packs based on the chev leaves, people were pulling nearly 20" of travel if I remember correctly. The canti kit looks great, did you do the design and fab yourself?
 
thanks you ill look into it. the fab was done by my buddy. i did the assemble and disassemble , he did the welding. hes a welding inpector so he used to work for and offroad shop. good buddy to have. the design is a visual copy of the auto fab kit.
