I like your flatbelly fab work, looks relativly inexpensive and simple. I'm all about that if it works good and is strong!

I may take a few idea's from yours when I decide to flatbelly mine as well. Right now my links snag alot more then the t-case/tranny x-member.

Cool, I'm going to hit my links...I know it though. But they are stout enough to take a beating.

Man that thing is sooooo nice! I hope you are gonna replace those bushings for the tcase mount it looks like they got a little hot.

It really is looking good and yes, the bushings do look like they got a little warm....

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #246 on:** Jan 08, 2007, 03:46:55 AM »

that is grease, they didn't get hot.

I made my coil-over hoops tonight...

Here they are(they will be standing up)

Here they are standing up

And guess what?.....THEY ARE TOO DAMN SHORT! They need to be about 5" taller at least!

what happened?

I forgot to figure in a few factors
1. the coil-over lower brackets
2. I lowered the truck another 1"
3. I'm an idiot
4. These shocks are fuggin huge! They are almost 30" long at ride height!

Must be time you get sent to the corner. You know your daddy told you measure twice cut once. Now go to your room. Bad builder!

It's all good, they are now my front shock hoops

topar · « **Reply #257 on:** Jan 09, 2007, 03:25:48 PM »

So you knew what you were doing? Yeah right! I don't I am trying to build mine and still trying to learn my left from my right. Put the letters on my shoes wrong really screwing me up!

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #258 on:** Jan 09, 2007, 04:25:51 PM »

OK...got new coil-over hoops now...It turns out that my coil-overs sit at 34" at ride height 5.5" up travel in the rear (I don't think I really need anymore as of yet but that may change soon)

BEFORE

AFTER

The coil-overs are going to be mounted to the inside of the hoops and I'm going to cut and notch some tube to attach the hoops to the outer rail so it has some more support there also

This truck is looking great! One of my favorite builds!

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #260 on:** Jan 14, 2007, 04:21:59 PM »

Here is what is happening now:
1. I got my fuel cell(parts)
I welded up the sides tonight...I've got to go to the sheetmetal place and have them cut a few pieces for me
Before welding

After

2.I also got my coil-over tube tabs....these are so I'm able to bolt my shocks in place...I still need to order my lower brackets from Ballistic Fab so I can mount them up and get them semi-out of harms way.

Here is a truck that I am starting on for a customer. I had to snap this pic to show how low my truck is....his is on 31's mine is on 42's

gotrocks · « **Reply #261 on:** Jan 14, 2007, 06:33:42 PM »

can you get a pictures further back of the comparison of the 2 trucks.

btw those shock mounts are interesting. I haven't seen anyone put a fully weldable tab on yet. Different but cool

I'll see what I can do..I'm lowering mine at least 1 more inch

Thanks on the tabs...I kinda hi-jacked the idea from Ballisticfab

how'd you go about figuring out link positions?

did you use a link calulator.. or ?

Used the ol' eyeball method?

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #266 on:** Jan 15, 2007, 03:55:41 AM »

I know a few people who have done links and I asked their opinion on what I had and they said it looked good.

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #267 on:** Jan 16, 2007, 04:16:19 PM »

just got off the phone with Jeff @ ballisticfab! I got my lower coilover mounts coming!

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #268 on:** Jan 19, 2007, 02:13:17 PM »

waiting on parts

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #269 on:** Jan 25, 2007, 07:31:12 PM »

I've got my brackets for my coil-over mounts! BUT I've got a customers truck in the shop right now, so that means mine is put to the side until his leaves
