the capacity of the 2.0" shocks is 1000lbs each

so 2000lbs each








do it......

 

That means the 2.5" would work just fine. Only $700 for just the rear! Ouch!

Good things aren't cheap Chris!

 

actually, i withdraw my previous statement.

SAS it first, then do the airshocks.

 

Well, I'm not totally sold on them yet. I looked at them a while back in more detail, and one thing I remember reading is that they're very hard to get dialed in, plus when off camber it wants to continue to roll essentially.

Oh, that would be scary. I really know nothing about them at this point.

 

I concur!

Good hi-jack. Air shocks on a road driven fat truck sounds stinky to me. Get some coilovers. More tunable, easier to tune, less of an unknown. Leave the air shocks for the buggies where they work.

Looks like a good product. Big SOB, should be a decent wishbone joint where some go ghetto. I like the set screw and have the smaller ones on my new rear.

 

That truck has 4 links and a lot of lift. There's no way that would fit under a normal 3rd gen.

 

No it doesn't. 3-link with panhard. Convention says that is how to name the above pic.

No it doesn't have a lot of lift. Maybe 6". Lots less than some around here who are just jacked up.

A suspension as posted above will be the most practical and best performing without moving the gas tank.

 

why dont you think the 2.5" joint is strong enough for a wisebone 3-link

i have not even seen anybody use that big of a joint in my 3-link search mostly 3/4 hiems
