Yeeeahhh boys! Something to be proud of being able to crank this kind of quality build out in such a short timeline.

So.. what's up with his old shock tower/3.5s?

Full independent would be interesting, but a s@#t ton of work. it would be difficult to net the same about of wheel travel as you can with a solid rear end. Then you have issues like CV angles and a whole bunch of other stuff that most wouldn't want to deal with.

Yep,

Me, Sean and Paul have been going like mad on this thing. The timing is good though because we are waiting on the other two trucks tubes to show up from laser.

It's a day to day opperation

I would love to see you guys try out a independent rear end setup in a raptor, I have an idea to get similar amounts or better travel than a standard linked setup, but it's ridiculously complicated and I don't want to waste your time with it unless you want to listen to me about it

Where is the gastank going??
Looks sweet so far

The idea I've had for a long time, I didn't want to bother anyone with it since interest in independent rear end seemed really low overall, the only reason I brought it up now is cause you brought it up and RPG showed interest in possibly trying it at some point in the future, so yes, you did trigger it to an extent

It's been crazy John, but kinda cool to hammer it out like this. Once your truck is done, it will be full steam ahead on the other two big projects. We finally had the rear-ends show up yesterday. I'll snap a few pics so you guys can see it, truly amazing.

Oh ya, I forgot to mention Paul and I cycled it today and it was 25.75" metal to metal.
