They are the fox 2.0in i went with the air shocks mostly for cost and what I plan to do with it mostly just rock crawling

I'll be interested to hear how you like the 3 link, the fab work looks amazing. If I may ask an ignorant question wouldn't a coil over be more durable/less prone to failure than the air shocks?

 

air shocks mostly cost and size.
made some more progress

front axle all finish welded and getting some paint

front shocks set in there thats full droop should be about 5in up and 9in down travel from ride height

 

Really cool man! Geat looking fab work!

 

finally have it on the tires no more jackstands

tried to flex it a lil with a few 2x4s and my floor jack but thats as high as it would go

cross member we made just got the front range center to build off of

 

Looks good standing on its own. Almost ready to take out wheeling.

 

well we got some work done on the bed on sunday took out 14 inches

cut the frame off after putting in a 1 1/2 by 3 square tube behind the rear shackle mounts

and the shifters

 

Before

mid




front setup before calling it a night

 

This is the stuff dreams are made of

 

Did a little flex test. Was as far as i wanted to go without the e lockers wired up and no front d shaft

 

That looks awesome man! I can't believe how fast it all came together! Great job!

 

Thats sick man great work

 

3linked what did you use for link tube? And would you mind to take some measurements from the winch mount? I want to build one(have the steel, don't have money to buy premade) but don't know where one is at to get the numbers from. Who did you go with for drive shafts? Sick build, great work.

 

The links are 1.75 .120 wall chromoly tubing. was gonna do .250 dom but it looked odd and i figured if I step up tp chromoly i would be ok. The winch mount is the trail gear mount to build a bumper off of. I can take some pics and measurements when I get a sec. Im just getting stock cv driveshafts redone in town.

 

My brother/85trunner, Dad, buddy Dan, and I made it out to Florence to do Alax trail wanted to keep it light it was my brothers, and my first time out with new setups. It all went really smooth heres a few pics
playin around on the way in

guess this would be full flex RR picked up

I put a vid or two on youtube i'll put the link in a lil.

 

Wow man! Looks like that 3 link setup was definately worth while! Are you happy with it? What's next?

 

It looks like it turned out really well, any issues with the air shocks feeling tippy or unstable at all?

 

Very it's a ton of fun. Next I just want to set up onboard air, rock sliders, winch, and a tool box of some sort for tools and spare parts. Than just wheel. How's you runner comeing along?
