you can find it right here this is a shift gate from RC4WD.COM, I tried to obtain one but unfortunately they are sold out, I emailed customer support and they said they dont know when there will be more available, I made my own out of the plastic from a DVD case, it works good, but not as pretty as the aluminum you can find the shift gate right here | |

| Ive heard those roosters are pretty bada$$. The only reason i know this stuff is because i just built a highlift hilux and I figured it all out by asking people on this forum, so dont worry about it. shifting is done with the left stick. Left is highway, middle is 2nd gear, and right is low. you just move the stick to the side or keep it in the middle and move it forward to accelerate once you are in gear. the shift-gate helps you to not switch gears once you are accelerating because its bad for the tranny

Broke a leaf spring this weekend, so I guess I will be 4-linking one end of my highlift based blazer. gonna link the rear and leave the leafs up front. Any pictures of where you guys mounted your links? |

| f350 4 link
I looked for a 4 link system for my high lift also - cuz the stock leafs don't do much in the way of flex. I saw someone taper the top of the leaf spring (where it attaches to the bolt on the frame) and that gave it a bit more play. I'm currently converting the rear to a 4 link system but its taking time to create the right look thats functional too. I had to grind down the fins on the inner axel to fit the 4 link plate I'm designing. I haven't made the supporting rods yet but after checking around - I found I'll have to make them on my own. I'll try and keep you posted on the progress after here. |

Wow - that's beautiful - but I don't think those will bolt up to the f350 high lift. The drive train looks different. Here's the update to the metal project. BTW - it was made from a decking bracket - galvanized steel - very sturdy. I used the bed brackets for the right and left swing arm and i will probably fabricate a center bracket. All will bolt on to the existing skid plate. Not sure what I'll do about remounting the truck bed but will worry bout that much later. I'll have to file down the screws but at least it doesn't require a nut ont he end. The screws mount directly into the threaded bracket. Now that its essentially mounted. I'll work on the rods and then after they are measured and cut - will reduce the size of the bracket and then drill a few "cool" holes - add paint and should be done in about a month! |
