i dont know what any of that means lol but great fab work man. good luck

 

[Crazythingsido2]

haha yeah it confuses me too

I know you need at least 40* separation of the Upper arms to be triangulated enough not to have to run a panhard bar. So each link should be 20* or more from perpendicular.

i went with a panhard bar

it just needs to be gusseted

 

[Hahnsb2]

I hope you really reinforce that axle panhard mount.

 

[Crazythingsido2]

like i said its going to be gusseted

 

[Crazythingsido2]

ok ive come to learn that a panhard bar wont work with a bag on bar setup because it have to much travel and the panhard bar will pull my rear end to much sooo im going to do this

before

afer ta-da

here is what we did on my friends truck..

as you can see, instead of cobbling together some goofy crossmember, we just notched the 2x3", using a 4" OD 1/4" wall steel tube. Though that may not work for you since your bars are much longer.

heres what im going to be doing

i can honestly say i don't understand the lowering concept but looking at your truck i'll wish you luck on getting it done. good fab skills better to find out something needs changed before you finish then to have to repaint and change the whole thing..keep us posted with the pics maybe i'll learn something yet

 

[Loanranger]

Yep that last one looks alot better.

 

[Crazythingsido2]

yeah its been a lot of trial and error but its getting there

Ever think about using a WATTS for the rear axle?

I'm going to run a Watt's on my F150 just for that very reason.
