Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
 

Sorry Nate I didn't mean to talk about your BALLS in public :lol:
Hey Nathan how will these trailing arms work with my setup? Would i be able to get rid of the lowering blocks? I also need some rear shocks from you and some air fittings. I'll call you some time next week. Any time better then another?

Thanks Ray

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
 

Yes, just switch to the fully adjustable pan-hard bar I will making!

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
 

Put it in the box w/my arms for field testing & consider it done ;) . Seriously.... We discussed some opportunities so if you're ready, give me a shout.

As a powdercoater if i get a customer that brings me a part that looks real bad [lots of slag] I telll them i can clean this up or leave it,it only takes a minute or two to hit it with a 3m disc.

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
 

My PC just forget to tell the young kid to clean them up before they coated them. I forgot i didn't do them till i got to the PC shop. I like to clean everything up before a paint, coat, or polish anything! I am taking my time to even polish the shafts for the A-arms as well as all the bolts. It's just me.
That is why they call it a sickness, and I am one sick SOB!

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms

I have been kicking around the idea of swapping a '72-earlier trailing arm suspension into my '80....

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
 

Those are the PB line of tig'ed paper weights. I've got one ;) There's another company working on a knock-off already, but Nate is ahead of the game with v2.3 almost ready for launch :lol:

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
 

I already purchased ECE's extreme drop crossmember, but my trailing arms ... they're just ugly. I like this better, and it saves me from making blocks.

Questions:

- How long till the panhard bar will be released?

- Is there any other option in the meantime (for panhard bar)?

- Any e-brake provisions?

- Will the geometry be much different...I mean to say, if I've laready drilled for my bags using the ECE center crossmember and the stock trailing arms, will I be re-drilling anything because of differences (either the framerail holes or the CPP C-Notch plate where bags mount)?

- Are these powdercoated, are there diff't prices for PC'd versus non-PC'd?

- Do you have any plans for shock relocation to this, or is this a n00b question?

- What is average pay-to-ship time?

I'm trying to get my frame, etc. in for powdercoating by Oct 1st. After looking at my trailing arms this weekend, they're good, but man ... meh. This is nicer and more inline with what I want.
