[madhunt]

boy does it still sag like that???

[BigBs84]

it's facing uphill no sag. I dont have any good pics on this computer of it with the new back cage work done. I flexed it out on Hollys evil toy on sunday she runs 38" and my rear never left the ground 

[86turboyota]

i like it, more pics of that exo please

[BigBs84]

I dont want to jack my own thread so I will try to start a new one called whittie redo for ya. thanks for looking

[madhunt]

new thread was started!!!!!

[BigBs84]

So this project is on hold for the time being I've got a run next weekend and I need to give some love to whittie I got some 30 spline longs like 4 months ago and with the new project I have yet to put them in  so more to come in a few weeks

[BigBs84]

Well I got some work done this weekend on this thing I got the suspension all mocked up with 63" rears inboard 5" per side with the new TG creeper joints and for the front I used the rears with the bottom three out of an old malin pack with the new hanger and got the high steer on

[TheCookieMonster]

turnin out good...im really liking that cage

[BigBs84]

Thanks man. I also forgot to mention that I capped the steering stops and the spring perches on the front axle.

[BigBs84]

I got the 38" s mounted last night it is really starting to look like a crawler and that keeps me motivated I try and get some pics tonight.

[TheCookieMonster]

sweet...getting new parts always keep me goin 

[BigBs84]

well I am really stoked I put the 38's on and it still fits in my garage on whittie my other truck I had to put 31's on it aired down to fit in my garage. My frame hieght is 25 1/4"  so since the back cage is not complete I was able to push it forward of the door opener and get it flexed out here are some pics

[BigBs84]

[TheCookieMonster]

so how come you decided to inboard the chevys?

[BigBs84]

so how come you decided to inboard the chevys?

Will see what it does. My buddy gave the 63" and I have always wanted to inboard some springs so trial and error I guess. Have you heard of them not working well this way? They are just tacked in there. Is it a bad idea? Input please

i would think that they would flex better being inboarded. isnt the marlin f-toy springs inboarded?? it seems to work good. ive never seen any "in person" but it seems like a good idea 

[Gittinit]

I like my inboard chevys, but I didn't inboard as much as some do.

[BigBs84]

yes I have seen a few that work well so I am just curios as to why the ? from Aaronb

[BigBs84]

Don't be so defensive, he is prolly just looking for insight for his own build.
