Front truss in completely done, almost finished the ram mount too, but ran out of wire

The ram is gonna live in front of the axle for the time being, I think I could squeeze it behind it but without everything setup its hard to tell, plus with it in front I can run the tierods under the highsteer arms instead of on top, allowing me to keep it a little lower I think. Did some measuring and my truss should actually sit nicely as a spot for airbumps, but it will require me to section out about 3-4 inches of my frame up front to get it as low as I want.

Wrong question for this thread.

All my links are DOM. The lowers will be 2 x .250 until I bend them and the uppers are 1.75 x .120. I'll either run aluminum or heat treated 4130 when they bend (which I'm sure they will)

Zach is running square links on his I think because he had easy/cheap access to the tube.

Oops, sorry posted in the wrong thread. Meant to post that in the other thread (Zac).

Truss and steering mount were finished up the other night. I've got the 60 all torn down and am working on rebuilding it now. I'm pretty happy with the iverall setup for the steering, tierods should be dead straight at full lock, which was the goal. Also figured while I had everthing apart I might as well paint stuff this time around..

Will, make sure you clean the paint off of where the arms mate to the knuckles and also where the cone washers/lugnuts/whatever sit down in the arms.

Smart man, that could have slipped my mind.

Doing pirate battle right now on whether to just spring for orange anyway. Arms will get cleaned off there and turned into double sheer I'm thinking, I was just on a painting tangent.

What's more important, beefy knuckles or an LQ9? I think you know the answer to that

Hint: the answer is 3 letters

LQ9 Will, you can beef up your knuckles for free

LQ9 might be gone, the ad's not on clist anymore :(

I've still got the guy's email address if you want me to check.

Will is too much like a gulible child. Stop influencing him to make a bad decison

full bump on 44 inch tire height
