Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
About how much will this lower the rear

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Rob I notice the coil springs are located in front of the axle but the older kit I have they are behind the axle. Any reason for this, I know my 71 isn't a weekend racer but just thought I would ask.
I always thought the further out they where would help with the body roll. Ha I went back and read the other post's after I read this last night at work. Man I wish I could afford one of your whole system's for my truck! A man has to have dreams I guess! :chevy: |

The drop amount is somewhat adjustable, but I would say you will be in the 5" to 7" area. Outside of this range and you start running out of the range in which the panhard rod stays in a range of 0 to 3 degrees from level. So, call it 6" with a little adjustment range.
In the picts you can see that the truck has some rake, but the bed is not on. As soon as this is done, like this weekend, I'll get some picts and some finished ride height measurements. We should have done this on the other test trucks but things happen so fast as soon as they get to driving, and we missed the chance. |

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
I currently have your rear shock and panhard bar relocator with a 2" block and coil spring, would I be able to upgrade to this ?

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Very nice.
I'm just starting my C10 project and haven't purchased rear suspension components. I like the johnny type joints for the control arms. On a 67 Nova project I did a rear wheel 4 link conversion from Heidt. The base coil overs were single adjustable and too short for the application. Hated the setup until I redid it to double adjustable coil overs with longer travel. Your idea of longer travel shocks is outstanding. Darn and I thought I'd happy modified stock stuff. I will be in touch. Again very nice. |

Do you think I could install this on my freshly powder coated frame without messing it all up. I already got rid of the factory lanyard bracket before powder cause I was going to run your panhard. |
Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
very nice set up and pretty much exactly what I was looking for, i'll wait till the notches are available before ordering.
just a couple questions, is that tank one of yours or another vendors? right now i'm running one of the old cpp rear coilover set ups and my main gripe with it is the lack of travel and having to run way to stiff of a spring because of it. the other was the coilovers are mounted to the rear and outside limiting exhaust options out the back with a rear mounted gas tank. yours will solve the exhaust problem, right now i'm dumped in front of the rear axle |

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Hey Rob, What are those ball joint items at the front of the trailing arm. Would it make any sense to use those on a parallel four link setup to prevent any bind?

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Thanks for the mention that your kit still allows 335's in the rear....
I really really like it... My son is heading off to college for mech engineering & wants to do the race engineer thing... this and your "make it handle" thread are full of great info that is helping us choose the bits to upgrade granddad's 72 C-10 that we are autocrossing. watching your website to place an order soon |

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Will this rear setup work with any other trailing arm cross member (is bushing width different than factory) or does a stock one have to be used?
Are these kits in stock yet or still in the prototype stage? Thanks! |
Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension

Yes, these are in full production and in stock. These kits ship within a few days of the order. All parts are powder coated in 'Magic Black' (20% gloss satin) |
Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Looks great Rob!

Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Did you get any pictures of the truck once the bed was back on?
|
Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
Rob, first off I should say I love your products, and I apologize for asking so many questions about them :)

Is this drop including the blocks or not? just checking before ordering parts I don't need. Thanks |
Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension
How well would this setup work for 1/4 mile launches?
