Here is some of the rear on mine. These are old and will be changing things up again very soon.
F150 leaves and extended shackle.

Shackle flip and stock 4 door explorer leaves.

Shackle flip with Durango leaves.

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

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.

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.

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
