why not go crazy eh?? your truck aint got that hahaha

 

he isnt trussing it for strength.... look at the driverside axle tube, and let me know where you will mount the links??? or right on the cast? haha

the links will be mounted to the truss.

 

Yeah, I guess this it true... You can weld to cast to mount the upper on the drivers side, but some people frown on it. When I do three link stuff I usually just put the upper on a tower on the passenger side. It works just fine if you have room.

 

Im going to be running a wishbone..

 

you still have the lowers to mount...

i know what you mean but welding to cast id pass on as well.

 

Im welding on cast with it -- Im making my knuckles high steer..

I made all the brackets tacked it on the knuckle to test fit..broke em off..put the knuckles in the oven..heated em up. Got a tached the pieces back on..heated the torch up red hot..ran a fat bead, beat the **** out of with a rubber mallet while it was cooling down...bam custom high steer :)

 

Isn't welding on cast fun Evan? lol

 

OH YEA!!!

Glad when it will all be done...

 

Takes like upteen years longer than welding on carbon steel!

 

Not many pics of progress..dirty hands on an iphone..try to stay away from that..

the rear is all trussed up and welded with the bracket for the middle wishbone is one..front is getting there working on the brackets..
