Man this is one cool build!!! What did you do to the knuckles to make them work??? Im not fimiliar with em... and setting up the control arms like you did how much camber change are you goin to get through out the suspension travel? The only reason I ask is it looks like the upper and lower arms are on the same plane vertically... Im not sure if the makes sense.. lol basically it looks like there the same length... and the mounts arent staggered.. uppers being closer to the knuckle and the lower being further away... Im a little high right now so Im not sure if this makes sense... HAHAHAHAHA anyways great build up!!! :SMOKE:

--------------------------------------------- well it has been a year or so sense i build everything so i will see what i can do here. first off the arms are not the same length. the uppers are about 2-2-50" inches shorter then the lowers. when the suspension goes thru is travel there is only 5 degrees of change. at ride height it is 0 and layed out it is 5 degrees. ---------------------------------------------Originally posted by getto wow dude been a while, we were talkin alot on s10 forum a couple yrs back when it was just in primer, n you just started that frame, lookin ridiculous man!! what people are doin these days with trucks blows my mind!--------------------------------------------- haha man that been a long time then. thankfully everything is really starting to be crossed on the to do list. been working on trying to get the cab all done lately. tubing strucsure for the floors is about all done. i'm hoping to have the floor pretty much done by the end of the weekend by we will see how that goes. i will try to get pictures up next week for how it turn out

I really like the way you done the rear with control arms. Think I would have put some adjustment in them tough. Maybe Max will chime in an show some pointers for the rest of us. An Im not knockin your work by sayin that bc I dnt think I would have thought of doing it that way.

An Im not knockin your work by sayin that bc I dnt think I would have thought of doing it that way.--------------------------------------------- well first off max is not the only one that can come up with new ideas that work. i have to say that that kind of piss me off a little that you would ask him to explain my suspension setup. don't get me wrong here what he designs and build in most of the time nothing short of a make of art and i would love to have he build anything for me but still that is a little insulting. now on to what you wanted to know. my whole setup was computer designed before i even cut the first piece of tubing. i know everything work because i designed it that way. everything was then build to the dimension,angles, and bend that where designed. as for adjustments to the suspension. the lower arms are build with adjustment in them. i used 4-link end links to be able to have that adjustment is i need it, but so far everything has been good and has not had to be changed sense the day it was first set. sorry for the rant and i hope i answered any question you had.
