Also wanting to see the pics re-hosted if possible please. I need to see how you stack the leafs together. Also, what servos do you guys recommend for the shifting and steering (metal geared of course ) |

| 4link conversion kit
Hi Guys, Don't know if you know this already but junfac made a 4 link conversion kit for the high lift. check it out at www.junfac.com it also shows a video of the f350 converted in action. |

| F350 front steering I can only assume you mean front steering - the stock setup is front and rear steering. Let me know if this helps but I took off the rear steering on my F350 (more for realism) and found you have several options as to how to finish the front steering. Moving the side duel steering servo forward gave me a place to store extra wires in a side mounted gas tank under the cab. I found by moving the servo to the front (next to the shifting servo) you get more direct steering too [which is more responsive]. You can keep the axle's fixed wheel steering rod in the rear (next to the driveshaft) but by moving it forward the axle and swithching the steering rods, you'll have a tighter turning radius because the steering arms have more travel. Sounds confusing - after I read it. Check out my thread iif you need more clearification Petaluma F350 Build High Lift - you might see some other pics there that will help you but I'll take a few more if you need. I know I ran into a few hick-ups but nothing you shouldn't be able to fix and make work. The biggest problem was the steering arm. This pic here shows the steering arm in the back of the axle. When I moved it forward of the axle, it gave me a better turning radius. This is a pic of the steering arm in front of the axle. I had to cut a gap in front push bar bracket to accept the steering arm and locked steering rod. This is how I locked the rear steering. Hope that helps.

Well, the 4 link Junfac setup certainly works great and is super easy to put together...but the center chassis connections makes for an unrealistic scaler attachment point - especially when you have to raise your rig. If you go custom, takes more time and hassel but you get a better low profile look with the same results as the Junfac (in my opinion). Junfac you keep the same trannie location but going custom is all about tucking up the trannie nicely and sticking to a stock look but gain more travel. |

You can gain 1/4" of free ground clearance at your skid plate by cutting off 1/4" from the screw posts on the skid plate mount.

Just finished building mine. Fairly disappointed in the flex, I'm only running the main leaf and no coils in the shocks. I was trying to get it to sit a little low, so I would hopefully get a ton of droop, but no.. It seems that the driveshafts are causing a lot of the lack of droop due to the fact that they are fully compressed and not allowing the compressed spring to travel all the way up. Kind of bummed out right now, spent a shitton of money on this thing and kind of hoped it would be a bit more of a crawler than a basher. Maybe I'll cut the shafts in the middle and weld a sleeve over them after... they only need to be about a 1/4" shorter. |

| Re: F-350 Hi-Lift build tips thread.
Some nice looking rigs!! So are High lifts dead? or is there a newer thread? I have one I'm looking to do a custom 4 link front and rear and could use some good pics I'm cheap so i'd rather not spend the $100 for the Junfac kit....lol |

| Re: F-350 Hi-Lift build tips thread.
I have been working on my high lift, they aren't quite dead! I lifted mine to fit some bigger tires, and am considering lifting it even more to fit some Imex singled dually tractor tires and making it a mud truck. 4-link might be nice though, these things seem kind of stiff.
