Re: 63 full frame build help!!!!

My overall height is 321/2 I've been messing with the 4 link. Not sure if there is enough triangulation but angles and length work nice 3 degree over the full sweep.

Re: 63 full frame build help!!!!

haven't posted in a long time. have been busy working on truck. here is a bunch of pics of progress. the front and rear suspension is done now minus watts link. Frame is off the table and motor and trans mounted. put temporary airline which will work for the final setup. It rolls now which is a great accomplishment. for the front i made some rack mounts, used porter built hardware kit. cupped the lower arms and shortened them. i used cpp uppers cause they were cheap and available they work good for me. I had to flip them side to side and upside down (upper ball joint was binding)
