damn these are nice, whats the suspension info on both of these?

70RedBlurr · 11-24-2009, 02:36 AM

Kev2809, My suspension is cupped lower control arms, swap to disc brakes from a '76 truck, RE-6's, top plates, and finished the front off with DJM three inch lowering spindles. The rear is a Air Ride Tech. triangulated four link, FBI notch, and RE-7's.

Here's a pic of the rear. kinda hard to see but all I have on my laptop.

jrods70 · 11-24-2009, 03:21 AM

i have stock trailing arms in back with sleeve bag with watts link, front is 3 inch drop spindles cut lca 2inch zed frame and 1inch section crossmember with slam re7 and notched the uca to clear steering shaft

Ghostwhite · 05-16-2010, 10:07 AM

more...... plz? :-)

texastrendz · 05-16-2010, 02:58 PM

mine before i hung it up on a man hole.

NZSquare · 05-16-2010, 04:58 PM

Love the pics, especially the red one, I saw a pic of it on here last year and it was just the kick in the backside I needed to get moving on mine. Super clean.

Heres mine, again not quite laid out, its sitting on bumpstops though. Its about to get 20" steelies and a chopped front crossmember, so then she'll be down good and hard.

The whitewalls are painted on, the back one looks humped as I had the exhaust dumping in front of it.

andrewmp6 · 05-17-2010, 02:28 AM

Texastrendz you should change it to a line for each bag in case something gives you don't have one end just drop on you.

wow nice truck... wat suspension parts did u use//

texastrendz · 05-17-2010, 07:16 PM

man that is 3000 psi steel braided hydraulic hose, it will cut through the metal before the metal cuts the hose. i will never have a failure with this setup. all my trucks i do i use hydraulic hose. and no leaks either. lol. it is expensive to use. but i like the insurance of it.

**kev2809** · 05-17-2010, 07:39 PM

is that hose from like a big rig shop?

edit - what kind of panhard bar is that?
