That's someone's paper plate actually. I sat the truck on it so it would not blow away!

So we are now home and feeling a lot more rested up from that long trip to LST, that was a serious blast!
There is still a ton of work on the dually to accomplish. I purchased my 4 link at the show. Jason from Thorbros brought a set of his dually 4 link arms, and I bought them before the show opened during setup day. He put sold on them and displayed them for the entire show. I hope he sold a bunch of them!
These arms are massive. It is hard to see in the photos just how huge they are. The bars as you can see are 2" in diameter! Each 4 link weighs 55 pounds each!! Trust me they are the nicest setup for a dually I have ever scene. The first pic shows 2.75" rear end mounts, but those were only for display at the show. I got a full set of 3.5" mounts for my truck.
So now it will be time to tear down the old set up and get this installed. Just a quick note. I have been asked by a lot of folks about the 2 link setup verses a 4 link. First of all the 2 link rode very nice, and preformed very well. No complaints. My main reason for changing is that I want a more consistent pinion angle, and I want something super strong to haul with. There are probably a lot of other smaller reasons, but those are the 2 main reasons right now.
I also purchased new shock mounting tabs. I am not sure if I am going to use them or not. They were a steal at the show, and if I don't use them here I can use them down the road.
As always I will keep the pics coming as I progress...
Thanks again to all of you who have been an encouragement along the way. Your help and kind thoughts keep me going!
Stay tuned!

Saw the truck at lst. Looks good. I was going to ask about how the ride was. Saw your new 4 link too. What bags are you running front and rear. Couldn't find it reading through.
