Good. This is what I want. Debate with actual information. Not "**** you, this is better" shit.
If I did a 14 I could run what ever drop I want, and use C's from a Chebby 60 keepin shit cheap. Sawzall and a junk yard! I know of a few destroyed cheb 60s layin around.
Shafts look to be the most expensive part.
So for suspension, air shocks... Lookin like 2 in each corner? A trs member is runnin singles on each corner. I should find his build.
Like I asked before, think some hrew would be a decent material for shock towers? Though I've found some sources to get DOM for cheaper, it's still not exactly budget friendly, but could be done. My bender won't bend it by any means though.
Now, debte: Heimed radius arms w/ trac, 3 link, 4 link, missing link, 1 link.
Heimed radius front:eh they do ok they tend to bind at any real decent articulation and then they have to really be pushed to go any farther.
Heimed radius rear:They have atrocious anti squat numbers will be higher than camel cock causing there rear end to "lift up" and bounce under any real load.If you run heims at the axle end up then and get the radius arms flat and long then it will work,but not as well as a proper 3/4 link setup.
3 Link:Easy to set up,cheaper than 4,they once again tend to bind a little at a fair amount of articulation,it's an ok setup,if your gonna go for a link set up spend the extra time and do a proper 4 link.
4 link parallel:It's a 4 link no doubt but not a proper 4 link.Anything thing with a panhard bar required tends to bind under fair flex like stated earlier.It's easier to set up than a double triangulated for link but if like stated earlier if your gonna spend the time to do links do it properly and do it double triangulated.
4 Link double triangulated:THE PROPER 4 LINK,requires no panhard bar and it's help in place by the triangulated links.They flex amazing,they time a lot more time to set up,and it'll end up running you more than everything except the parallel 4 link.
And finally one links:Easy to setup,cheap cheap cheap,Triangulated 4 link flex can be gotten out of them easily.Doesn't take up a whole lotta space.they can be built out of square.it only requires one joints.Most people use a uni-ball off of international harvesters.
As for materials.If you want a cheaper alternative to dom but higher strength than hrew.run crew.It's not as strong as dom but it's damn close.And buy a real bender damnit.You won't need it for links but buy a real bender damnit.
