Thanks again "everyone" for the comments.

Looks absolutely stunning man, one question what are the specs on the wheels... width narrowed rear end? back spacing, Im assuming the frame is narrower back there, so the 4link bars don't get in the way with the ebrake? Awesome build!

My E Brake is the Truck on the ground!It was removed. No room for the stock one with the Firewall mods. The Rear End was shortened 10 inches total. I got the MIN backspace Intro would give me.

The rear brakes were flipped to the back to give max width for the frame. And room for the four bar etc..

I'm gonna go kill myself

Holy balls brotha, hats off to you.

The work is amazing.

And when I see that you made everything with simple hand tools-mind blowing.

Much props to you.

Thanks;

Oh sh** Tyler don't kill yourself man. LOL

Yes. Eveything was cut by hand with hand tools, except some of the rear parts that a machine shop had to turn/broach to my design. And the parts I out sourced.

everyone knows it's hard to get everything to work together right.

I made full size models to make the front, rear, canti, and watts link work the best I could figure out.



Below is my advanced suspension design tool (HAHA) used in this case to determine the behavior of the Watts link with different length bars, and crank position.

Ya I know it sounds geeky but hey, I hated math in school now I use geometry and trig eveytime I have to figure a sub box volume!!



Its hard to see but each tape shows a different line (shifting up to 1/2 inch side to side) I kept it up until I got the best results over 15 inches of travel.
