[QUOTE="TB-F, post: 1067459, member: 16115"] Awlright clowns enuf bs'ing and back to the iregularly scheduled build because it's time for... Suspension! :cheer: and by :cheer: I mean howly fawk what a lot of custom brackety work. Did we even do anything on Friday Jason? or did we just drink beer? :beer: So saturday I started out by buying myself a new toy because the thought of flame cutting all those pieces was way less than apealing so I hit up Central for.. A new plasma :D [IMG]http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i63/TB-F/100_0939.jpg[/IMG] Then I went about centering up the rear axle (look ma' real jackstands!:haha: ) We are shooting for the same wheelbase as we had before wich was 107" and it looks like we'r gona pul it off. Axle alignment with plumbobs [IMG]http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i63/TB-F/100_0938.jpg[/IMG] And then skip forward a whole crapload of work because I didnt document it and here's the 90% finished product. [IMG]http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i63/TB-F/100_0943.jpg[/IMG] The upper links are 31" long and made out of 1 1/2 .188 wall DOM The lowers are 37" long and made out of 1 5/8 .250 wall DOM The spread between the uppers and lowers at the axle is 7 1/2" and at the chasis the vertical spread is 3". The uppers sit at 1deg +- sloping rearwards. Initial articulation shows very little rear steer and no binding :awesomework: Side profile [IMG]http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i63/TB-F/100_0941.jpg[/IMG] Twisted untill the floor got in the way. [IMG]http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i63/TB-F/100_0940.jpg[/IMG] Here's where the lowers conect to the subframe [IMG]http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i63/TB-F/100_0942.jpg[/IMG] And the semi-completed towres for the uppers with some extra holes for ajustment if it dosnt work the way I hope. [IMG]http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i63/TB-F/100_0944.jpg[/IMG] Thats all for now, next it's mounting the rear air shocks and then on to the front :cheer: [/QUOTE]
