Nice man.

it runs, it drives, it stops. It needs shocks, and to be registered, so that I may drive it to glory. PROST

been driving her for a week or so now, and Im in love. bouncy as all hell, tryin ta work in the springs a bit before I throw the shocks in..  my friend says it dogwalks a bit, but whos counting? she goes straight down the road for a bit anyways.
too bad winter is almost here and I gotta put her up so the salt stays at bay. lookin to get some pix up in a few days of some mountain action. till next time,

use it for the snow trips


and does it dogwalk when your truck is steady or when its bouncing and swaying around.... being shockless will do that.

ok, so there is this clunking/bumping/knocking noise comming from the right side of the front axle when I turn, or hit some bumps (only sometimes) and im clueless to know what it is.. everything is tight, torqued and re-checked.. My friends truck does the SAME thing, and I just dont want it to fall apart on me. My local tire shop aligned it and the didnt say anything was out of the ordinary. Help, advice anyone??

      Well its been like 8 years since ive been on this page and Holy crap im gunna rework this thing after almost 10 years of owning it..
    Attempting to do a 4/3 link set up on Tons and have a few if not many questions. Ive done a bunch of research about the geometry of the rear at least.. and using the TRIAGED calc I've got the numbers pretty close to what im imagining will work.. only thing is my comp is old and wont allow the bump or drop function to work, and also i think i can only "build" the rear set up, unless im missing something.

    I guess i wanna know if in the front, the AS numbers are lower, will it still cause the body to tuck onto the axle as it would in the rear? Or would it jump up as a result of the opposite direction of lateral travel?

    I know that theres no perfect link setup, however is it a good idea to keep the AS values even between front and rear? Like you dont want 65% front and 140%rear to give an awful example.

    If yall kats got some help to provide would be killer. Thanks a TON🤘
