Looks killer!

Say, do you have a lot of "bouce" with the F-150 springs?

Mine loads up on steep hills real bad and I was wondering if you had it too with the long packs....

Could you post some pics of your front traction bar? I have some ideas, but would like to see what others have done.

I think the front bar holds some merit for sure, problem is, I have my tie rod and ram back there. I don't know if I can make that work....

ram and tie rod with t bar running underneith.

How does that single bar help with wrap?

I don't doubt it does, just need some explaination...

I don't doubt it does, just need some explaination... hit gas pinion dives down, bar holds axel from shooting down on heavy gassing or squeesed spots also climbing up hills it stops the axel from hoping under the load with teh long front springs! jiMMy

Makes sense. HHMM Doesn't seem to limit flex as your first pic shows. Very interesting. I was thinking of something similar for my front end. :D

So there is no shackle at the top? Just a bar that keeps the distance from the axle to the top constant, right?

I like the twin sided steering arm. Is that custom or does someone sell that. And if so, who?

Holy crap it's actually off-road!!! :flipoff2:


Looks good man....:D

wngrog - no shackle at the top. neither of my bars do. the front one is so close to the center of the axel housing tha tit just piviots there rather than pushing and pulling on the bushing at the top.

hightoy - its seen more trail this year than it has in all the time ive owned it, h ehe,

jiMMy

so how about some pics of the rear bar too?? And maybe the crossmember mounts of both?? :D

description of the rear = double mount style bar thats sleeved. its dinged up a bit cuz ive hit it not cuz of any stress on it. at the top its just mouted to a single piece of tube between the frame with a bronco radius arm bushing.

:D:D:D Last I heard you were gonna snap some pics for me. ;)


But I did find these ones. pretty sweet

one more

cool, damn, that thing is WIIIDDE

and cool, that steering looks trick, and whoever setup your ram has done well it looks perfectly flat and perfectly paralell!:eek: NICE!

I noticed. You've been out it seems almost every weekend. hopefully my cruiser will be done by summer and I can get up to the con. Not sure how many RCRC trips are planned but I hear there are quite a few. I'm also goign to try and hit Pismo again. That was a blast. Nothing like girls in bikinis in 4x's. With that 350 you have in yours you would have a blast out there.

a front traction bar defiantely helps nolen. i built a ladder bar like on th rear with a shackle for my front and it took the hop out of it. i know what you are talking about. on steep loose climbs it'll get to hopping. it got alot worse when i went ot 42's as i am sure yours did too. anyway i am not sure how a setup like mine could be made to work with your steering setup.
