Pics of any front truss will help i am just looking for ideas, dont really care what axle its on. searched and searched but really couldnt find anything. Simple and plenty strong for a link mount is all im looking for Rokhound89 04-08-2007, 02:19 PM My thought would go full width and use the T&T Custom front truss http://www.tntcustoms.com/webv5/Dana44Swap.asp BerzerCO 04-08-2007, 07:08 PM .5"x3" strap material http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/BerzerCo/1176080746.jpg TJP 04-08-2007, 07:26 PM here are some TJP 04-08-2007, 07:29 PM and some more TJP 04-08-2007, 08:15 PM one more http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o182/TNTACR/matt032editnr7.jpg?t=1176084835 Timmay 04-09-2007, 12:53 PM 3/8"x3" flat bar and a 1/4" tie in to the casting. Welded with Ni-99 of course. :D http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i273/Timmay822/CIMG9046Medium.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i273/Timmay822/CIMG9082Medium.jpg Tied into the coil bucket on the driver's side... http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i273/Timmay822/CIMG9119Medium.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i273/Timmay822/CIMG9113Medium.jpg Start of the upper mount gusseting. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i273/Timmay822/CIMG9122Medium.jpg Shouldn't go anywhere... http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i273/Timmay822/CIMG9139Medium.jpg And it hasnt. just the bushing has failed me twice. I'll be replacing it with a solid flex joint or heim in a few months. ashmanjeepXJ 04-12-2007, 01:10 PM This is mine, 2x6in 3/8in box tube truss on a d60 http://www.wheelingarizona.com/forums/files/thumbs/t_000_0006_965.jpg http://www.wheelingarizona.com/forums/files/thumbs/t_000_0009_740.jpg http://www.wheelingarizona.com/forums/files/thumbs/t_000_0010_181.jpg 99grandtj 04-12-2007, 01:51 PM 3/8"x4" plate, btf cover with tab coming to tie it in. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/madibugsmom/99%20tj/60parts001.jpg TJP 04-12-2007, 04:59 PM 3/8"x4" plate, btf cover with tab coming to tie it in. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/madibugsmom/99%20tj/60parts001.jpg So you used 3/4"x4" plate for the over axle link mount, what are you plans for building a truss? incideagent 04-13-2007, 07:44 PM My thought would go full width and use the T&T Custom front truss http://www.tntcustoms.com/webv5/Dana44Swap.asp i was thinking about the same truss. TJP 04-13-2007, 09:27 PM Tech to the top Tommy_M 04-13-2007, 09:48 PM Not as elaboarate as most but here is what we did for the front double triangulated 4-link on my ZJ. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/Tommy_M/paint007.jpg?t=1176522129 http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/Tommy_M/paint005.jpg?t=1176522250 Changed and re gussted the mounts after this break at TDS not this year but last year. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/Tommy_M/tds039.jpg?t=1176522299 http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/Tommy_M/tds037.jpg?t=1176522365 New mounts after break. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/Tommy_M/front4linkmount001.jpg?t=1176522411 http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/Tommy_M/bellyskid005.jpg?t=1176522487 scraprock 04-13-2007, 11:13 PM one more http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o182/TNTACR/matt032editnr7.jpg?t=1176084835 I am partial to this on myself :D If I were to do it again (which will happen when the new front end gets built), I will use 1 piece from knuckle to knuckle and make it out of dimple died sheet metal. This axle I built in kind of a rush sadly. chance575 04-14-2007, 10:49 AM i was thinking about the same truss. They're building a hd 44 truss (8-lug leaf spring) right now. Gonna use it for my swap.
