I meant on your suspension set up. 3-link f/r?

 

[4x4mike2004]

its a 4 link three bars from the axle to frame and a track bar.

 

[Commitclothing]

Wouldn't that be a 3 link with a pan hard bar.....??

 

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

Yeup.

 

[JohnnyU]

Yes.

I meant, tubing dia, length, angles, material, etc.

I can see that it's a 3-link w/ panhard. I was more interested in how you designed the suspension. I'm digging the airshocks, by the way.

 

[4x4mike2004]

oh, my bad, wasnt trackin. not sure of the length and angles, a friend designed and built it. the tubes are 2" od 1/2" wall thickness. all the joints are 3/4" heim joints. the shocks by the way are 18" travel bielstiens.

 

[hummer_maxxer]

wow seems like over kill on the links. i would of went with a 7/8 heim but the 3/4 should be fine

 

[4x4mike2004]

lol. yea we did err on the side of over kill a little.

Better overbuilt than underbuilt though.

 

[4x4builder1]

Dude overkill is an understatement on the link bars I only used 2" square tube 1/4 wall
