One of the best truck channels an should have 100k more subscribers an the fact that you do all your work an dont send it out or have your buddy "mike" doing all the work in your shop like someone else.
That is a really Awesome setup! I wish I would have seen this before just ordering all new frontend parts for my 05, 2500 Cummins. I am sure You will really like it! Did You put in a drain plug for the front Diff so You don't have to unbolt the front Diff Cover to drain the fluid? That would be a great idea. Love the video. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing...
Looks nice would be nice to see you update your notes with links to all the components. Would help with those looking to do this for sure... I've not got a 4wd so I'm not too worried about it but I like seeing options for stability when you go BIG power
Take the extra pieces of thick wall pipe and do a pass on them with a bolt between the two... Set it on an angle and hit it with a sledgehammer if it doesn't budge I wouldn't worry about it lol you'll be surprised what the suspension and shock the stock equipment are able to withstand
Maybe look into a triangulated 4 link from ruff stuff. They have a kit that triangulates the lower control arms so that the uppers will still fit around the engine. If you do that there’s no need for a track bar. If I need to explain better let me know.
Hey Tom don’t forget to spray inside of those spray paint inside of those gussets you welded on the axle tube that way they don’t rust and it looks real nice in the future you can get a stubby in for your take torch that way you can get in tighter places instead of having a full length tungsten you have a piece like maybe 3 inches long anyways you got a really nice package go in there all right man keep up what you’re doing I got a 91.5 Dodge three-quarter ton I’ll give you three guesses what’s under the hood and anyway it’s coming along have a good night
Looks like time for Lincoln locker or a spool or Detroit locker in that front diff....would think that'd be better than that open diff....and same for the rear of the truck
This seems a little sketch to me. The rack and pinion is engineered to be static relative to the vehicle. The linkage and universal joints aren't designed for the constant motion. And mounting the rack to the diff cover seems a little iffy as well. Some very creative designs but I wonder what an engineer would have to say about it.
