Love the update! I gather that you are going four link so my question is did you pick shocks, shock travel, spring rate for the coilovers? I am hoping to cut the back off of my truck and do a 4 link but I figured that you may have more resources to help you pick shocks and springs for your truck.

Yes it is going to be four linked. As far as set up and design, way over my head. The rear of the truck has been designed by Outlaw and Connor has worked with King on the tune of the shocks.

Just an inquiry about your roll cage, do you know the tube diameter and wall thickness Outlaw used on your cage?

 

[GBrown1867]

The cage is 2x.120 chromoly.
The links are starting to be welded together and they are making progress on the rest of the truck.

Damn. Some one got a little sawsall happy didn't they? Lol

Yes it takes a a lot of cutting to get to this point. Knowing it's going to be like this when it's completed makes the wait a little easier.

That is going to be some sweet suspesion work you're getting

How long does the total process of converting to a this system take in total??

And dare i ask is it like costing the same as a new stock raptor??
In part and labor cost?

I wrecked the truck the end of November. We started ordering parts around February and we are shooting to have it completed the beginning of September. Hard to say if a shop could work none stop how long it would take to complete the job.
As far as price, a lot.

Gordon, what fiberglass are you going with? Same as RSV1?

The hood will be the same that is on Lane's truck (Old RSV2) I think it is a glassworks but I am not sure. Not sure about the rear yet we are still talking about it.
