OK baggers what about this...

Since 2 links are getting beat up in the Greenville thread, I thought this would make for some interesting conversation...

I think I have a theme going here. Maybe this should have been posted in the suspension forum...

The first one is..hmmm...ugly. I would imagine that spider means Silverstar did the work since they're the ones that use big cogs and wierd chit for thier canti/leverage setups.

The second one would be a lot cooler if the links were forward. Same goes for the third one.

The fourth one is just a typical tri link with a lot of tubing for the frame. The airbrushing on this Co2 tank is da shiznit.

The fifth one is pretty cool the only thing is he's gonna probably have to hack up the inside of the bedsides since the fulcrum is going outboard of the frame. He also used a wishbone which looks pretty nice too. Be nice to see it finished.

Those are some interesting bag' setups. Pictures 2 and 3 would be awesome if the upper links were facing forward, as Izzy said. The others look terrible.

The more I look at it the more I think the first one would be sweet if the chains were link bars instead.

First pic is SSC.. its a chain driven Canti setup, it works great and functions good. I havent seen it in action, but a lot of the ppl who know the owner of the truck, said it works really well.

second pic bars need to go forward... same with 3rd.

4th pic... tubing looks crappy b/c its all 1 color, nothing there to change the color some, etc. it just looks like a race car chassis, all 1 color

5th pic.. seen that canti believe, looks good and serves it purpose.


Yes, 2 links were getting beat up in the other threa,d i havent went and looked at his reply yet.. i'm sure it will comical.

Why would you need brakes if you roll it off the trailer and back on?
