Eric's Big Build

[RPG]

Whats the plan for the front? Keeping the dual setup or going longer travel? Or did I miss something on that..

Staying with the dual for now, but I'm sure that won't last long. I cant wait to take it out for testing to see how good the front can keep up. It's gonna be fun as hell to find out the verdict.

I'm excited to see how it performs. From watching the testing videos from Tizz's truck I was very impressed with the way it kept up with the travel it has.

We all know the verdict lol. All that travel in rear would be stupid to not go more in front. Upgrade time!!!! When's testing?????????

Question :
Those braces that are coming in from behind the axle are those swaybar ??
And if so why remove them in the front ... But add them in the back ??

So here's a revisions to Eric's big build.

Basically Eric drove the truck once, and said he wants even more. Naturally we said lets just link the thing and be done with it. While we are still waiting on some parts to show up for the other two big projects we have going on, we started to just free hand eric's truck the old fashion way with painters tape and a tape measure.

Here are a few updated shots of the progress.

Thanks

Please tell us this guy isn't going with a Hennessey FI setup! In fact, that you now have a refusal to proceed if that's the plan. We really can't take any more of that with these beautiful works of art.

Yes that is the swaybar.

The reason you need to add a large sway bar to a 4 linked truck is because you literally will lift the inside front tire off the ground when making hard turns if you don't. Straight 3 wheel motion. The Front is a totally different ballgame then the rear.
