pics please!
Im looking to compile some pics of AD frames z'd with different types of suspension set ups, front and rear. I've got a 52 cab and I just got a frame to go with it. I want it real low without air bags. I'm thinking about a transverse leaf out back with a four link. And maybe elliptical leaf up front. I'm not running a bed or front fenders so its all gonna be exposed. Any ideas would be great. I want to use the frame but I may just end up building a new one.

Re: pics please!
Yeah, it might be. I really want a traditional look though. Since it won't be hauling anything I might be able to run softer springs. Just kicking around some ideas for now. I could really use some pics and dimensions if anyone has done something similar.

Re: pics please!
How 'bout a short video? Not sure how low you want the rear. This is as low as I want to go. Its a C notched frame with TCI leafs and 4" lowering blocks. The front needs to come down another inch yet. Maybe this winter...

Very nice scotty! That's pretty low! I'm really looking for frame and suspension pics though.

Re: pics please!
Thanx
3" x 3" x 3/16" I made the top mount crossbar with 3 locations so I could change how stiff the rear is. I still have more work to do.... like boxing the frame, and lowering the rear..... as far as rear suspension goes..... I'll drop it another 4 inches or so (Already dropped 5-6" by putting the rear shackle above the frame) Keeping her a static drop for now, at least over winter, but setting it up in a way that it will be easy to 4 link and bag it later if I want. Oh, and the entire point here on mine is a daily driver, so she'll be on the road from here out as she progresses. Last edited by Intimidator; 09-21-2011 at 02:29 PM. |
