Here’s the inside bump gussets. Let me just say welding up there isn’t very comfortable with a linked axle in the way

Have you checked out the GOAT built frame kits? Pretty cool setup, I wonder if anyone on here has one?

She handles better than ever. That sway bar really helps in the rear I’m guessing

Not intentionally haha, but I did see a Ferrari. I think he woulda gapped me! I am amazed how great this big ass 7k rig on 40’s handles now. Every time you let the clutch out it just feels right. So solid and direct, no weirdness or hop or creaks. Just go.

Disclaimer, I did NOT take my rig on this! Lol

That is so cool to hear. It would be cool to road trip and wheel.

Looks stable, and like it rides well. The radio mic hardly moves.

Awesome!

After one road trip with the short dump under exhaust something has to happen! Working on trying to get this exhaust out from under the truck, and this is the only thing I can come up with at the moment. With four links from all angles and a shaft down the middle, there’s nowhere to go but out!
