PROJECT: Redemption (93 b2600i bagged and bodied)

oh wow! didnt even notice the caster was back there like that.. haha i got a few chuckles..

Thats pretty pimp there bro looking good

Alright, I need some opinions and some consructive critisim. . .

I've been drawin up my backhalf for the past 3 days. . I got it finished a lil bit ago. . And I wanna know what you guys think. . Any ideas on how to make it better ? ? There are some spots you cant see because its just an overhead view. .

Like the front most of the "notch rails", the bar they are attached to is gonna be welded to the driveshaft crossmember and the irs crossmember. . And on the back side of the notch rails, right before they angle back down, I am gonna run a piece of 2x3 straight down to the rear section from each notch rail. . . The two black tanks are the two 3 gallon air tanks, and the light grey is the spun aluminum fuel cell. . .

I am gonna have various gussets and tubing added still but for the most part, what do you think? ? Any suggestions? ? And its ok if I have to change a bunch of stuff, I jus want ideas. . .

And also, I al still toying withh the cantilever/coilover setup I had talked about like 9 months ago. . . So I may make drastic changes anyway. . .

Talk to me people! ! If you read this, I expect a response! ! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" />

And also, the rear section of frame is gonna be 3.25&quot; lower than stock so I can keep the stock bed floor there. . And maybe enclose it or somethin. . I'm not sure yet. .

Very creative Josh! I like how you have planned things out so clearly. So, why don't you have the side view of the planned setup yet? j/k!!!!

I could also see a cantilever setup with this also. Move the air tanks inward, then run the air bags next to the air tanks with the cantilever arm going over the half shafts.

i dont even see a picture haha stupid work computers lol

i might be wrong (wouldn't be the first time) but i don't see a cantilever setup. just leverage bag on top of arms...
either way it looks pretty clean man. is your setup going to be with an upper and lower trailing arm or like the corvette style with just the lower arm and bolt in half shafts?

No the drawing is not cantilevered. . I had talked about the possibility of a coilover/cantilever setup a while back and I may draw that up as well. .

And ya its jus the one trailing arm. . .

just one trailing arm with the bolt in half shafts? CRAP!!!
do a upper and lower arm. much better!!!
