96 cruise vessel build

[Ramrod]

pretty much all waiting to go, same with the front

[Doof]

is 4 link f/r a smooth DD suspension?

[Hyena]

it all depends on how you set it and the shocks up.  If setup correctly it will ride smooth and not have much body roll.

[Ramrod]

billy sandbagged the out of me and left my links at his work in vallejo, im so pissed looks like my 6 day weekend is going to be worthless espescially gay since school starts the day I start working again

[kiyul4130]

how come he cant go get them? what did you end up doing last night?

[Ramrod]

the shops closed on weekends, I didnt do last night just drank some beers at my friends house

[skipnrocks]

is 4 link f/r a smooth DD suspension?

also depends on your springs and shocks,  but theirs a reason leafers are leaving the auto scene...nnneven the big doges are going full coil

[Ramrod]

finally did something too my truck today since its been left alone for so long.  I replaced the broken ring and pinion in the front and replaced the carrier bearings, new eurothane bushings in the front, new front spring centerpin and tightened up all the tierod ends.  it drives alot better and is way more responsive now that it actually has a bushing in the suspension and the steering all tight

[skipnrocks]

Cool man!  Nice work   

[kiyul4130]

dude you should just leave it alone and forget about links till after the run, that way your junks just ready to go waiting and no problems occur so you can make it.

[Ramrod]

thats whats probably going to happen, my links are all welded up now and back in my possesion.  Just a few more things before the snow run and im good.  mostly just the rear shock mounts

[Birfailed]

This is how I set mine up.  I'm pretty happy.  Street manners are pretty consistent with a shopping cart.  Taking a corner at anything faster than 15 feels too uncomfortable.  Rear end is always on the ground while wheelin.  Lot's of body roll, front hardly flexes at all since rear is too soft.

[Doof]

that is SO TALL, or she is really short

is that ride height?

[skipnrocks]

Or are you going to run some massive meats?

Have you ever thought about running antirock sway bars on there, it will even out your flex, and make things more comfortabale, reduce body roll ect....

I want to c some wheelin pics with it flexed out... I am kinda interested in how this system works out...

[skipnrocks]

just had another thought, you could also run a limit chain in the center, it would keep it much more controlable without limiting flex!

[Ramrod]

im not worried about my truck driving bad after because I know it will drive nice, if it doesnt ill make it drive nice, that 4 link with 1/4 elip.  springs really has nothing in common with the suspension i will be running

[Reynolds]

Wow, I'm speechless!

[kiyul4130]

that 4 link with 1/4 elip.  springs really has nothing in common with the suspension i will be running

HAHAHAHA

[Hyena]

$37.50 a stick for the 1.75 HREW.  Did you guys still want 5 more?  I forgot how much the Heavy wall was so i will double check tomarrow.  when do you guys want to pick them up?

[skipnrocks]

How long is the stick?  20ft?   That would be a heck of a good deal

[Ramrod]

ya actually we will take whatever you got, 15 sticks would be legit and that price is definitly cool

[kiyul4130]
