The shop that origionally did this frame auctually built a few setups like this. one of the others was on a blazer frame, and while the chassis was being towd home, a tab broke off of the cell, with no fuel in the cell at all, just from bouncing around on the ride home. The cells that i make for ram trucks, i use 4x4x.250 thick aluminum angle , and it supports a full fuel cell just fine. i couldnt ever understand anyone thinking that those little tabs would hold the fuel cell alone.

hey taylor. i got a question. on your upper links what size tube is that? i want to build a setup like this on a ride im building but i was afraid it would want to twist it. i make all my links out of 1 1/4x.250 dom tube. how do you think it would handle the twisting affect it will have on it. (just a s-10) thanks man. build looks sick! josh

This one is 1.25x.250 wall DOM also. I cant imagine it twisting at all, its supported pretty well. Taylor

How long are your "mock" bags? I made some out of sq tubing but that looks like an easier way to do them! I assume they are for 2600# bags... Thanks

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by astromanwesHow long are your "mock" bags? I made some out of sq tubing but that looks like an easier way to do them! I assume they are for 2600# bags... Thanks--------------------------------------------- I just made these ones 3" long , it is a bit over the standard legnth bag, but it works good for making sure it will fit with no problems. They will work for any bag, this particular truck happened to be running airlift dominator 2600 series. Im excited to get back to working on this truck, i have alot of new plans i want to incorporate. Taylor
