75 Dually Project - 22s and stylin

I really like the dually! Wow that is cool!!! Post a pic once it is done.

My drop spindles are in!!! Please cold weather go away so I can get back in the shop and work on my ride... Just sayin'...

I know the feeling! Btw sent you a PM! Don't know I you got it..doesn't show as sent?

Got your PM and sent you a reply tonight.

I got the truck off the stands tonight and got the old dually wheels put back on so I could test my rear suspension movement.

I have heard a lot of trucks over the years squeak and groan going through their full up and down movement, which tells you that there is something binding up somewhere in the suspension system. I made sure the shop was very quiet to take this video because I wanted to hear if anything was binding up, and I was glad to see that it went through the whole movement without making even a squeak!

I made up a rig for the air bags with a ball valve on the end. Thanks again Home Depot!!!

Any way check out the video I put on YouTube and let me know what you think.

nice man love the video one big step to all most being done.

Finally got my truck turned around in the shop and now I can start on the front end. I also picked up the SRW brakes and calipers. So I will start on the a arms and front air bags.

However has anyone mounted a York 210 to their 454? If so can you post some pics on the mounting and belt drive. I think I plan on mounting it right next to the alternator, seems only natural.

nice video bro..... hey i have a question is about the way you mounted your rear bags how straight does the bag stays through the whole suspension travel? i seen the bag fully deflated before on some of the pics you posted and it looks pretty even but as you go up your axle turns and pinion angle does too which will most likely cause the airbag to sit at weird position while fully inflated i seen it on other trucks before with a two link im not sure if is that way in your case but i was wondering since i though about adding bags over axle on mine and keeping the 2 link like yours.....

That is a great question. When I first cycled the suspension fully the bags touched the frame arch a bit too much for my liking. So I pushed the air bag back a bit on the axle mount to compensate for this. This solved the issue and did not allow the bag to bunch up and touch the frame arch.

By moving the bag back I got the bag to be almost perfectly straight up and down in the middle of the axle arc. As far as the pinion angle goes, because of the long link arms it really does not change that much and make the bags bend all over the place.

I had another video I shot on the same day as the others. I did not use it because the camera was making a beeping noise so I cut it out. I just posted it to YouTube. Check it out and watch the bags move. Only at the bottom of the stroke is there much movement of the air bag, but it is not that much. Also you can see the watts link move as well.

Let me know what you think.

ok now i see what your talking about and thanks for answering the question i was concerned about mounting the bags over the axle with the 2 link i already have becuase of the way the bag was gonna sit but this makes more sense to me thanks for the video and keep up the good work .....
