[QUOTE="mcutler, post: 663662, member: 1641"] [b]Re: Re: Trailing Arms[/b] Yes, I koh prepped the Redlyner Racing bomber this past January. Straight chromoly links with shock mount plates not quite the full length, (probably why I had to do a small weld repair there), and these were not slugged solid. I'm almost certain this was the same car that Randy won with, Timmy raced it, then it was bought and sold twice more, eventually to Redlyner/BAK motorsports. Heims on both ends, probably uhmw/delrin type material used for lower shock eye bushings on both shocks, quite worn but still holding up. For what it's worth, if you do your homework and layout your suspension mount points and links right, you won't lose much ground clearance with canoe style links, more doable if you build the links yourself. Mine are roughly 42", and compared to my straight mock up links, I only lost 1" of ground clearance at the leading edge of the tire. You must also consider lower link triangulation for shock clearance and ground clearance. I had a long Saturday morning discussion with Dan at ruffstuff before he released the campbell links, (which he divulged with me their upcoming release, but sworn to secrecy at the time). That for ultra 4, trailing arms are a consumable item, Shannon was bending them sideways after a couple races- that's sone serious downforce and traction through the turns... Hence the reason for their joint venture on the new design. Dan is a very interesting fellow to chat with...many years of off road experience to be heard. If I see that mine are a hindrance, I will build like Randy's our hurley on pirate. These are mine, and the second pic is a 55" set i built for a Toyota pre runner here in NC.
