Steve_925 · April 30, 2009, 06:03:13 PM

haha

in need more material to do anymore work. i have the money but no way to pick it up right now

Steve_925 · May 11, 2009, 07:01:06 PM

i need help with the length of my lower links. rigth now they are at about 52" eye to eye.
the thing is looking at it from the side, im thinking im not gonna have very good ground clearance.

so what length links are you guy running and how do you like em?

edit: moved to engine/suspension

Ramrod · May 12, 2009, 09:39:37 AM

40" lowers front and rear, work perfect and they are alot stronger that way

yeah i would have to agree. i think 52" is a little longer than you really need. I think Jason Pauley with Twisted Customs uses 36" uppers and 40" lowers on all the buggies they build, and their rigs kick some ass!

Steve_925 · May 12, 2009, 11:02:33 PM

i might shorten them up a little, not positive yet.

Steve_925 · May 16, 2009, 11:45:47 AM

so lots of updates.
shortened my links from 56" to 46"
my back half is all tacked up, gonna go weld everything up right now.
air shocks are mounted and test flexed.

i think im gonna make it to moon rocks for memorial.
pix later
