Have any pictures of your setup?

I'm looking into going to a leaf spring/ladder bar setup. I still want the towing capacity, but a little better hook up when launching.

Hell i might even go bags in the rear.. The ridetech Air-Ride setup looks tempting.

 

look in my albums on my user page. I had torquemax bars on my f150. there should still be pictures in there

 

Dribone's your man for this... talk to him

 

Yeah his stuff is is more on the exotic side of it. I'm not looking for anything that wild.

 

well maybe we could meet for some beers and design a system for our trucks becasue I want a 4 link for mine also. I like the ART system but I would like to do it with a triangulated 4 link verses a parallel 4 link with panhard rod.

 

hey huitt i never got around to making those bars couldnt open the file i did make a set for a f250 what i dramatic def it made, thinking i would like to make a ladder type

 

That's what I'm considering, either a triangulated 4 link, or parallel with a watts link. Move the instant center further back for greater hook up.

 

Watts link instead of panhard bar would work great

 

absolutely another vote for watts link. I've got some pictures of different setups if you'd like. the panhard bar just pushes the axle WAY too far over.

and yes, i could agree my setup is exotic...

Our trucks can't handle a triangulated 4 bar setup, theres just not enough room.

this is all the room you have to work with up top

 

Well our trucks arent going to be as low as yours so there might be enough room for the triangulated uppers. Is that half crossmember I original one or one you added?

 

over the fuel tank? that was an original i cut out. i really don't think they needed 31 and a half crossmembers in 6 feet of frame.

for what it's worth, i added a crossmember right behind the cab to make up the difference. if there even is a difference.

you may be able to run a triangulated link from that crossmember, but it's tight.

 

Thanks thats what I wanted to know. Using that crossmember over the tank with small upper links like on a Mustang rear could work. Thinking of possibly a mounting plate to mount between the diff and cover with the mounting points on top to have the upper links go from the center towards the outer edge, maybe even use a Mustang adjustable upper.
