I figured if I could design 26" travel x 7ft wide A-arm suspensions why not some cool air ride for my tow rig? It'll be nice to have a tow rig instead of a tow pig. My papa smurf dodge did surprise a few people tho lol. It you don't thrash to the finish it'll never get done.

1) is that the factory Ford fan on the Cummins hub?
2)what are you going to use for a radiator in your liquid to air intercooler?

Will be interesting to see how that front trailing arm works on the street. They tried it on monster trucks, but it was hard on the frame. Should ride great.

I can see that, all the structure in a monster truck is in the middle.
Front of the Ford frame is strong enough for leaf eyes, should be enough for some links.

What a test, towed okay. Airbags are a bit different, intercooler pump wasn't plugged in (HOT egts), 5th wheel hitch bolts only hand tight and every suspension bolt needed tightened.
Right out of the gate the fuel pump power wire (intank) decided to pull its self from its crimp. So Fummins to the rescue, first time airing down, first time towing out with my own truck. The Cepek Ultra Country tires bagged really well for E rated tires. Awesome float on the dunes, towing or not we never dug down on any hill. Hell it backed up hill on loose sand with out digging. I towed a 2000lb rail out with 20psi F/R lol.
Off and on during the weekend we took the truck out, kids enjoyed the rides together. Need to get on my lighting upgrades but so far it tows, recovers and cruises the dunes in relative comfort- goals met. Oh and the 80 gallons of 92 non-eth and transfer pump was awesome, no more stupid leaky cans for this guy.
Still needs
Front wheel bearings, new front calipers (stuck on me, smoked pads), drilled rotors/performance pads, safari rack, more lights etc.

Just Awesome! Glad the first trial went good.
Just one question, do you have a regular everyday job? There is a lot of time put into that truck.

I'm jgsturbo.com , jgsfab which builds the bendtech Dragon A150 and JGSfab powdercoating. Also I manage all the tech at JGS Precision (network, comps, software, etc.). Its been great to have good staff to keep jobs rolling and help out a lot, quite a bit of no pay hours too.
With that said its good to be the boss But we've be logging tons of off hours on this truck, been working nightly till 10pm , most weekends, etc.
I really have not built anything in the last 3 years besides machines, shops and tools. So it was time for me to go on a binge and boy I picked a whopper for the time available. But its good for biz, keeps my mind fresh finds new stuff to build/sell and starts conversations when I'm at the dunes etc.

Better than towing , CTS2 and a big falking cooler. Might add another cooler wasn't as cool as I wanted towing. Need a restall, my specrite held me at 1200rpms pulling 14k up my driveway in 1st. Too tight.

The cts2 is known to be pretty inaccurate, just a heads up
