this thing done yet? on a side note, today my left rear wheel, while turning and tucking a little bit of rim, i was trying to lift it, but before i could lift it, the left rear wheel got caught on the upper shock mount bolt, stopped me from driving, but i got unstuck by giving it a good amount of gas. bent the bolt, but yea, i know moving those shocks will help that problem, but the tires will hit sheet metal on the fenders or some crap that can be takin out thats left from the original inner fenders. so i guess more cutting is in order.

looks awesome doug, nice tanks....yea, whenever you are ready for me i can come over, probably gonna have to drive over early in the morning, work on it all day, then drive it back home, then keep doing that until we get it finished, since i don't have another car right now to drive, kinda need the jimmy. but yea, just four mounts that need to be welded on, no big deal.

I was just going to ask you about the lift ratio as well. The bag mounts are farther back...is that what makes the more lever action and provides more lift man? Im guessing your going to cut the bed out for the tanks to come up huh? Man that looks really cool bro...Good job man! Ohh quick question....but what kind or what does a gusset look like under the bars? Im wanting to see the crazy tube work go over those tanks....LOL...do it do it do it!!!!!!! HAHA!!

Yea Frank the farther away from the axle on those bars the bags are the higher the ratio will be and teh more lift it will get. But it also cuts the weight capacity down by that same ratio, so you can't go too far or the bags won't lift the truck, haha. The bed's gonna be cutout for just about everything, not just the tanks, and there's gonna be no tubework over em. They're just gonna float there, besides Doug only has like 8' left of bendable tube. He needs it for other places or something, idunno. |

You got to go crazy with that rear tank setup bro...it looks awesome and would be killer with something wrapping around those tanks or getting them cleaned up to give it a real deal floating effect. Ehh....i keep thinking this is a show truck...LOL...drag the fuker who cares!! LOL..also u never talked about what air shit your going to be running on here peter?

Nah, I don't like excessive tube work, I'd keep it clean like that even if I was going all out. We were trying to go for the 'floating' effect with the tanks and compressors. it's kind of turned into a show truck cuz now Doug's trying to show off his work a little bit. The info's on my SSM page . I've got 1/2 fills, 3/8 dumps, 1/2 line, 2 450's and those 2 3 gal tanks running at 145psi, and it's gonna lay hard on my 215/45/17's in the back anyway.... |
