custom suspension 58 apache
Could any of you 4x4 guys take a look at this suspension set-up and tell me if you see any problems or concerns. This truck is being built for road use only.

Re: custom suspension 58 apache
By far an expert, but looks like both front and rear arms are too short. Won't get much axle movement up and down....

Re: custom suspension 58 apache
im no expert either but it looks functional for road use only, the front reminds me of a newer ford e-450

Re: custom suspension 58 apache
It should ride ok depending spring rates in those coilovers.If you want it to ride like a caddy longer arms and longer coilovers.

Re: custom suspension 58 apache
Might want to think about some bracing on those rear coilover mounts and I'll agree with the others...arms are way too short.

Re: custom suspension 58 apache
Thanks for the feed back. Will see what can be done with arms and coil mount.

Re: custom suspension 58 apache
On some jeeps the stock front arms are that short.Its a street truck it should be fine that short.How long are the coilovers and how much total travel do you have?

Re: custom suspension 58 apache
I believe they are 17 inch coils and are set for 3-4 inches of travel.

Re: custom suspension 58 apache
on road only it should be ok. not much travel with coilovers. Like Redcap says beef up the coil mounts.
