I didn't tell you?

Duffil · « **Reply #793 on:** Jul 20, 2006, 06:42:15 PM »

let's see some progress!!

MiniSimp · « **Reply #794 on:** Jul 27, 2006, 01:12:02 PM »

I'm kinda slow on the progress, but I was able to get out the Plasma Cutter today and got a couple of pieces cut.

Messed around at work today with the forklift to measure the suspension travel.

Front flex: 43" from bottom of tire to ground

Rear flex: 44" from bottom of tire to ground

Not too bad, until I get custom width Diamonds I think that will be it.

Duffil · « **Reply #796 on:** Aug 03, 2006, 06:10:51 PM »

How will Diamond axles increase your flex? Or maybe you have something else planned for that...

MiniSimp · « **Reply #797 on:** Aug 03, 2006, 07:07:42 PM »

Just cause they will be wider.

MiniSimp · « **Reply #798 on:** Aug 04, 2006, 02:42:55 PM »

Next project:

You should go back with your

and reflex your truck, but thats just my

Good news: Got the skid plate cut and bent

Bad news: they f'ed up 2 of the bends and now I have to heat it and rebend it to where it's supposed to be.

That's what I get for free work and free metal.

These things happen with free labor sometimes... at least is was all free..

PRETTY

yota-tota · « **Reply #805 on:** Aug 10, 2006, 11:09:31 AM »

quick question....how much up travel are you running in the front? looks like your truck flexes great

MiniSimp · « **Reply #806 on:** Aug 10, 2006, 11:18:40 AM »

Haven't measured that yet.

At full compression my hub is at the same height as the front of my frame.
No bump stops, so it just stops when it hits something. It's pretty much 50/50 droop and compression.

MiniSimp · « **Reply #807 on:** Aug 10, 2006, 06:16:28 PM »

Ok,
Bad news: We tried using a rosebud on the metal and the surface area is too long to keep hot.

Good news: I took the steel back to the welding shop and told them to not have Stevie Wonder do bends on my shiat, and they are going to fix it to the specs I gave them! (hopefully)

Should get it back tomorrow, so I'll put up some pics if I do.

MiniSimp · « **Reply #808 on:** Aug 14, 2006, 12:42:09 PM »

Got the skid plate fixed. They just had my angles off a little bit (as you can see by the other skid plate behind it.)

Looks like they were just a little off!

How much clearance over stock will it be?
