Should have the front hammered out tonight then it can be all dissassembled and finish being welded.
 
Last for a few days. Still gotta redo lower mounts somehow but i think i got a idea for that.

Well back to work now for a few days, Always seems to be i do the most work on my last day off.
 
Looks good. Are you going to support the front CO's upper mounts at all?
 
After trying to sell it off and getting every damn low ball offer imaginable, I'm back at putting it together.

Buh Bye Leaf springs.

wait, you tried selling the whole truck/project?
 
yes they are, I only lose about 4% of the coil over rate with the angle they are at. Helps on ride characteristics also.

Hmm. I know if you kick them outward it'll help sway in corners but I don't see you building this for road courses :lolly: I'm curious as to how pulling them in helps you?

What type coilovers are they (single or double acting/adjusting)?

What spring rate do you use?
 
I now have to move the coil overs in because the tires i want to run hit them so ill get that all figured out once again. As for them being tipped in a few people with rat rod solid front axle cars said they handle so much smoother of over all ride. but new thinking about how much weight i have up front ill go straight up and see. Im hitting a dead end on how to do the lower coil over mounts so far again.

As for coil overs, they are single adjustable with the front springs being 500lbs and rears are 250lbs.
