To get the long shock/travel/ride/performance, in a way, total drop was the sacrifice point. WITHOUT a block, just the kit, with the axle directly on the trailing arm, the drop amount is 4" - 5". And, we would like the shock to stay in it's sweet-spot for the best performance. Yes, you could screw down the shock, or run a shorter shock, but that kind-of defeats the purpose. So, if you want more drop, add a 1" (5" - 6" drop) or 2" (6" - 7" drop) block. Blocks and U-bolts are not included with the kit. |

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
I'm about to put a c-notch in and am really interested in your version that doesn't hack more than whats needed.

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
0.45" is a tad close, need to change that plan a bit. I would had to drag on a pebble in the road.:smoke: Rob, thanks for the great info and help with the plans of many here!!

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
What a great new option!
Any plans to make this compatible with your raised rear rail kit? Is the test mule in the photos running your wide ride IFS? And if you have a picture with the bed back on yet I'd love to see it! -Skippy |

Any pictures with the bed on? |
Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Did some more testing this weekend. Bed is on, Truck sits perfect, we put 3/4" of rake in it, to make it 'look' flat. At that point, we had 3.875" of 'up' travel avail, and over 4" of 'droop' avail. Ride quality and street handling is excellent! Our low tech testing with a few cones, and the memory of previous handling characteristics, shows the truck to have much more grip through the corner, a quicker corner entry, and a LOT more acceleration grip at corner exit (this is where it would get loose and want to spin before). I'll get picts up later today

OK OK. Here are some picts. The truck sits good now with the bed on, but no floor in it yet. The truck has appx 1" rake. One of the things that slowed picts down is that the truck was apart again for a cam swap and a tune. The owner reports that the torque and throttle response is WAY better, and even with the increased power, the truck hooks and leaves with a lot less wheel spin. He also reports that mid corner grip and corner exit grip/acceleration inspires a LOT of confidence. (maybe too much) - But that it really stays connected to the road. The current spring is a 14" 225 lb. We are going to try a 12" 250lb spring to get a little bit more drop, more adjustment on the spring collar, and a bit firmer - about 10% is all. One pict shows the clearance in the notch at Ride Height.

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Thanks. I have some news coming soon. For the last few years I have been working on a purchasing plan for our customers. This could be huge for the consumer/builder, in the 'time-line' and 'financial planning' areas. It has never been done in Hot-Rodding before (and I understand why). We are very close to an announcement and testing. I'll keep you posted.

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Oh really? I may have to swing by one day this week and see about the inside scoop on this! ;)

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Wish I lived that close... I'd have one of just about everything that No Limit makes... and I'd be single again...

Is this truck running your wide ride IFS?

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Hey Rob,
I have a couple questions before I place my order. 1. Could we order the kit with 12" 250lb spring? 2. Would this kit work with your guys rear sway bar? http://www.nolimitengineering.com/pr...tegory=6157532 3. Would the kit work with this c-notch? It looks like it would but I am hoping you could tell from the pictures if it would or not. http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/r...psa4rgipaf.jpg 4. Is the pinion angle built into the trailing arms or would I need to run shims? 5. Whats the lead time on one of these kits? Thanks |

Also would the notch work if you are running this kit with 2" blocks? Or would you need to run a deeper notch? |
