Can I send you an inventor file?

This is pretty much what I have on front of the scrambler. I have less than $100 into that suspension.
I see mention of heims. You must use bushings at the axle, use the sweet huge bushings from the superduty if you have them. I'd just extend the superduty arms if you have them.
Not sure what you're doing for steering. Assume you will stay with stock superduty style for budget reasons. If this is what you're doing it should work with the axle forward, so move it forward a couple inches.
Go deliver pizza. I make an average of 20-40 an hour
How else do you think I'm able to dump gobs and gobs of cash into my ****pile

I know the center of the A won't stay but Inventor is being ghey and I'm tired of screwing with it.
I'm using the bushings at the axle side. I want to move the front forward a couple of inches so with my 44"s I'll have an awesome approach angle.:DQuote:

My jeep gets 15 mpg if i'm lucky. I don't think i'd make as much money as you, plus the hours suck.Quote:

Leave the decorations out.
Why do you cry anytime someone questions one of your ideas? Suck it up and do something.
i was thinking mor like speed holes
According to this mine is a "super" 60

Measure your axle tubes to make sure but I doubt it. I thought they only came in f450/550s and had the 8x220 bolt pattern.
supers 60's only came in the super wide variant(450's and 550's with the wide plastic flares on the front) and the knuckles, hubs, and brakes are completely different. I have read that the the bigger ring gear made it into alot smaller trucks for some reason
Im also pretty sure the super60 gears only come in 4.88 and 5.13
Here is a potential new member's Chevy with Super duty axles 3 linked. After talking to him for a while he said if he ever had to redo the SAS he would run a parallel 4 link instead. I'm sure he'll elaborate once he get's signed up.
I'm sure he could have gotten higher if the yard wasn't muddy or his front drive shaft was in

Where did he get that high steer arm?
Whats going on where the pass. side tie rod mounts to th knuckle?
And those high steer arm bolts look tiny.
I think what looks weird is the stock drag link end just sitting there doing nothing. That's my guess
Eventually i plan to Have Custom Fab machine my knuckles and plasma cut out arms.
Is everyone screwing with me? I don't see any pics.
He seem interested in joining so I'm sure he'll explain everything soon. The reason the stock drag-link end is there is soon the factory tie rod could be used, he's planning on correcting it sometime.

As for those bolts I agree with JB. They look like 3/8" bolts or something. Also, is the fact that they are bolts not freaking anyone else out? Bolts don't have near the shearing strength that appropriate grade studs would have. I would def. model them after every other high steer manufacturer and OEM application and use studs with cones to prevent the holes from wallering out.
you mean tensile strength? shearing resistance? Are you sure they are that different, or is it more an issue of thread and clamping strength?
you dont need cones for the studs, i have never seen a kingpin 60 arm use the cones, but the arm in the pics does look a little suspect
Yes thank you. Tensile strength/resistance to shearing.Quote:

Picked up the rear today. Got it with shocks and springs for $200
Way to go Tommy! Good Luck.
It's only the beginning of the end if you let yourself think it is.
Nice, Hopefully having it sitting at Travis' will make you get it done quick. What is your planned time frame to get it on the trail again?
why not do the rear first seeing as it is an easy project and not start on the front until you have all the parts?
get that common sense out of this threadQuote:

Ive got march of 2012 for when it goes to bryan iron :flipoff2:
I don't know when it will be on the trail again. We plan on building the radius arms and at least mocking it up this weekend. I don't know what i'm going to do for shocks or springs. Definately by the start of school, hopefully by the end of next week.Quote:

Yup, you cut all the useful stuff off. Good job.
Seriously though, how about some explaination of what you are trying to do with the radius arm brackets, because I can not figure it out after 6 beers.
