more

 

[f250rollinon37s]

still more

still waiting for the 1.25 heims - (made a trade deal and they hve not come though yet )

 

[f250rollinon37s]

so the heims should be here soon - going with 1.25 with 5/8 high mis. spacers - does anyone know where to get square tube adapters ?? i was going to make them - but --- :flipoff2: - the pinion angle was a guess - not going to run a cv in the rear - will post pics of the front radius arms next -

 

[f250rollinon37s]

front arms

on so some mock up pics - axle moved 3" forward - the hp 44 in the pics will be swaped for a 60 when i get on - untill then i have a 8lug 44 im going to use for mock up -

I like what you got going. I'll be curious to see how that works. It seems like that setup may limit your flex because you don't have any way for the arms to twist. You may want to change your frame-side mounts to a more traditional style that came stock on ford fronts. You could even cut the end of a stock arm off and weld it on the end of what you have made there. Then you could use the bushings and mounting brackets. Still looks pretty beast though.

thanks -

the front arms will have 1.25 heims at the frame - going for a TJ style long arm idea -

 

[tsmall07]

I was referring to the rear. you need some kind of twist in the rear arms as well.

 

[f250rollinon37s]

there will be a kicker on the top of the 60 truss to the middle of the drivers arm - -- mabey on the pass- too - well see - tring to get ok flex from it -

 

[tsmall07]

i don't know what you mean by kicker, but whatever it is, i don't think it will allow the individual arms to twist. as the axles flex, imagine what the arm does in your head. it doesn't just go strait up and down. it has to twist.....

 

[f250rollinon37s]

the rear is a 3 link - heim on the upper link and on the lowers at the axle arms wont twist to much - plus the coilovers may mount to the lower links and i didnt want then to twist side to side - - i think the fles should be good - as the lower arms only get closer when it flex s - they shouldnt need to twist - right ?

 

[f250rollinon37s]

as for the front - ther will be only one kicker - will go on top of the truss for the 60 then back to the arm - with heims - on the driers side - the passenger will be like the arm in the pics - axle should twist without bind- google a tj long arm kit and you will se what i mean by a kicker

 

[tsmall07]

i don't know...one of us isn't getting all of whats going on. I really hope its me.

either way I like it

that rear upper crossmember doesnt have much room for exhaust
you gonna punch a tube through it or ???

 

[f250rollinon37s]

like this

same idea - this should allow the axle to twist like a wristed arm / axle would- :smokin:

 

[f250rollinon37s]

exhaust

460 with fenderwell headers - will pop out right behind the yet to be made rock sliders -

 

[tsmall07]

In that pic there is a pivot point in the actual arm (circled in red below). f250rollinon37s arms have no such pivot point. I might not be necessary, but I would think that it would be.

ok - i think you mean like / \ when the axle flexs - that is what th heims at the frame are for think big ass cage arms -

 

[f250rollinon37s]

- bushing at the axle - then 1.25 heim at the frame - heims arnt in pic - dont have them yet - the new super dutys have this idea - 3 bushings in one arm - and im ony going to run one arm this way - the other will "float "

 

[tsmall07]

i'm a tard

I thought all the pictures were just different stages of the rear arms. didn't even know that the last ones were of the front arms. :shaking: sorry, but at least i learned something....


EDIT: i see now where it says FRONT ARMS in the post title. i need to start reading those
