I have been working on this since I bent the front leaf. It has been slow because of time. Drake has helped alot and I figured I would post up some progress picks. The front axle is still in the ugly stages so just ignore its crudity. I will clean it up and beautify it.

what does the frame side mount of the upper links look like?

Other stuff looks good.

Looking good. Did you ever try out the rear 4 link?

Yes the rear link worked great. I built a make shift RTI ramp out of some 4x4 and tested the flex . It allowed the wheel to ride on the side wall . it made it to the top of a 6 ft ramp with 3 wheels on the ground. Havnt had much trail usage except fo URE and It walked up Kodak Rock whitout much problem .

looking good!


I tried a 4link in the front of my new build. got tired of beating my head against the wall trying to make it fit, so I opted for a 3 link setup with a panhard rod.

Looks really good. Do you plan on tying the hoops together with a tube(maybe with flanges so you can remove it)?
