So her is what i am thinking

I want to link the rear.....

my ideas because i am cheap i am not doing air shocks or coilovers... so it is tj coils or if i feel like being cool 1/4 elliptical

Now i am think a three link just because i am a retard and no matter how much reading i do this double triangulated 4 link stuff just doesnt click in my brain. If you have done either or have suggestion please feel free to add your input.

Oh and as for now i am working on my new OBA using a A/C compressor and i am rhino lining from my body line down on the tenth of may. I also shelled out the money to truss and rebuild the entire front axle and ill do longs when i have the cash.

oh and i made my motorcycle a dual sport bike and i am saving gas now :gap: 60+mpg

next up i gave the harrison ac compressor a chance for OBA and it froze up and started smoking in less than 3 min :gap:

but this is what i did, and i have a york 210 on the way and ill do it right this time





This is where my air line runs into the tank... Which is the entire bed

$300!?  :ack:    Maybe I should start saving then. Or maybe I will go to the truck stop and see if they have any big ones. Usually the truck stops have nice big ones like that.
