Just make it drive first!

I figured if I was gonna do it, now would be the time? And a triangulated 3 link, not a 4... my bad.

After reading thru each page that thing looks KILLER!

 

[railman]

I like the idea of the triangulated 3 link.....but once ya do that you will be tempted to bob the rear of the frame for a better departure angle.....negating the location of the BII tank......

at least that is my way of thinking

no matter what....still really cool build

I still need the bed for hauling a quad, and camping gear etc. With the 42's and 2" B/L and prerunner bedsides I'll be dragging the frame out back.... and I'm ok with that, lol.

I like the idea of still having it usable as a truck, while having 42's.... not that many people can pull that off.

Triangulated 3 link would be the icing on the cake

 

[triumphrider-1]

Dang man, you do the 3 link and your truck will be almost exactly what I'm planning to do to mine... I suppose on the bright side, you'll have all the kinks worked out so I know what to avoid.

3 link?



three link and work truck


interesting design outcomes from that...i would need some airsprings for something like that....i have thought about it...but...bah......

 

[Bray D]

I would do a triangulated 4 link. More joints to distribute load. Two force members are good too. (single links are only loaded in tension/compression - unless they're lowers and you used them as sliders)

I've thought about linking as well, not seriously yet, but pondered. It's got its advantages, but as long as I keep my tank behind the axle (keeping me from bobbing the bed) I see no reason to switch out the leaves.

Get it running and wheel it, then link it if you want.

 

[wahlstrom1]

hmm.... K.I.S.S. has worked so far.....

Think I'll probably run something like this and call it good with the 63's.

 

[wahlstrom1]

Went to go get it's rear frame rails sandblasted at my work today.... Dodge is sitting a lil low as it still has it's winter weight in and the rangers overly light in the back at the moment.

Pure sex....

That is all.
