Built White truck A.C, links and coilovers (35 PSI boost!)

Sounds like a better and easier solution than messing with the steering to gain suspension travel.

Awesome build! I see mounts for an anti-wrap bar in the rear, but no bar in the pics that I can make out. Have you not found the need at this point?

 

[Alan2smiley]

The anti-rap bar Is leaning against a post in the shop, it needed ajusted after the springs settled so I took it off. Never noticed any wheel hop.

 

[Alan2smiley]

Kind of out of order.

I'd throw a gusset on the inside of those or a crossbrace between the front hangers or even just a small piece of strap between the two sides of the hanger for some side to side stability with how tall they are.

Definitely

Yeah that thought crossed my mind then I looked at the back of the spring that are about the same leverage with the shackle and no cross member and figured it would be okay. Don't you think the rubber bushings would disintegrate before the 1/4" + bent?

Gained more up travel than I expected, maybe it will settle.

Do you notice any handling difference with the caster change?

Good solution to your problem. I had the same problem with my green truck. I remember talking to you about it at dunefest a few years ago. You know how I fixed it... Leaf spring delete kit!

I don't drive it on the salty roads and can't get alota of speed in the driveway. looks like it's going to be a few months.

Yeah that's what I told Stephen, after I get the bugs worked out of it I'll get a coil- over kit. any dates for dunfest 19?

A ton of cool details when you go back at look at all the posts in one sitting!

What blade was in that skill saw you cut the 3/4" block with?

 

[Alan2smiley]

Probably this. I get them resharpen multiple times, worth every penny. When cutting thinner metal and the metal is not clamped or the metal jump's the blade will lose some teeth =$$

Subscribed. Really like your truck Alan.

 

[Alan2smiley]

Yay, parts delivered! The driver was probably afraid to drive in the driveway.

I don’t think there will be an official dune fest this year.

Alan, Gay Beach is half as far away as Silver Lake. How bout we do our own dune fest on our side of the Lake?

Wifey was just yesterday saying that she wants some more dune driving time this year.
