Patience I guess..

I've also been working on designing a sway bar for my truck

 

[welsh907]

Are we supposed to have them on bagged vehicles? I don't have one :shrug:

most people don't. It makes a big difference when you do have them.

Most people run a panhard bar or watts link for the rear right?

unless you have a triangulated 4 link or wishbone 3 link. you would be stupid not to have one. watts link/panhard bars do not do the same thing that sway bars do.
what i'm making is for the front of my truck

That's what I thought... I was wondering what people were doing for the front... I wanted to run my old one but wasn't sure how people were doing it... installed pics when done, would be great :just saying:

 

[Tukn4s]

a lot of people that go away from factory lower arms don't run one. What I'm doing definitely isn't cost effective. You can modify the factory sway bar by sectioning it shorter and welding a tab off your lower arm. use a piece of 3/4" bar to put inside to add strength and cut down the end links to give better angles

This, i need to give you my money in return for you installing my air suspension

 

[Jared]

word...I'd love to see my truck on air, but no more homie hookups for this guy! And nfamus wants a shit ton, which I am sure they are worth it, but not in my budget at all. I'd like to do shit in my garage, pay someone for their time, and also learn something while doing it.

Same here, nfamus is soo fucking slow also.

 

[Tukn4s]

Finally made the first cuts.

 

[loclrnc]

Updates at all?

 

[welsh907]

Since this has torsion bars, are the LCA's wider than a typical 2wd?

 

[Tukn4s]

Yes, the lowers are wider than a coil spring truck.

I haven't been working on it, I'm letting the owner do all this nasty ass work. I'm going out there this weekend to start cleaning and welding some shit on.
