alright, i'm about to completely redo my front suspension (previous owner swapped in 60s but used leafs). Should i use wristed arms similar to Coby Hughley's or links? I'm gonna be using BC 5.5" coils and 9012s for now...maybe coilovers in the future.

Thanks,
Steve

use arms like coby's, but w/o the c bushing mounts. last I knew he had some plates availkable to weld to the axle tubes, and attatch the links of the arm directly w/o the c bushings.

Links are a lot of trouble. Like a lot of others I'm running a wristed standard radius arm. Had it on for about 3 year's and now it's on the front Dana 60. Works fine, last week I laughed at the Hammers...well, not exactly laughed kinda wimpered and whined:D but it went wherever I pointed it. The rig's capable of a lot more than my balls will allow, so far. And fuck you all, at least I'm honest:flipoff2:

What setup are you using in the rear?

Wishbone center and side links. Some pictures are here.http://www.greatnorthern.net/~fearme/tech/project.html

It doesn't have an insane amount of travel but it get's me where I want to go.

Insae travel is over rated, i have no idea how much i have, but it works really good, (would like maybe 1-2 more inches in the rear)
Keep it to a modest amount of flex and you will love it

Those are the plates exactly. That rig is a ranger that's been a guinea pig for me for a while.....he's got a hellova setup.

More pics. PLEASE!!! That is awesome. I have the twister and am interested in these plates. Looks like the way to go for a D60 conversion.
