well i decided to run this truck without leafs. so i drew up the rear links today. i need to cut them out and try them now

Trikster · 03-06-2007, 06:30 PM

You going to do the radius arms up front?

Wrecker · 03-09-2007, 11:06 AM

Good choice on the suspension. That should turn out pretty slick.

ddiaz10240 · 03-09-2007, 11:41 AM

anyone have a pic of a radius arm?

4link4eva · 03-09-2007, 12:12 PM

Here you go, the pointy end attaches to the chassis with bushings on it, and the other end attaches to the axle at two points.

mrwonderful · 04-08-2007, 12:59 PM

Looks like you're off to a pretty good start. Nice jorb.

sleek6mt · 04-08-2007, 09:31 PM

4 link it man save you the trouble, or dampers with separate coils?

ROSS · 04-08-2007, 09:38 PM

looks cool, so are you not going to run the radius arm, it be trick if you could.

Unimoger · 04-08-2007, 09:41 PM

Looks great David, send mine yet?

ddiaz10240 · 04-08-2007, 09:51 PM

hey unimog , i have a chassis similar to this one shown if you want it. the center of the frame is not as low as this one shown

ddiaz10240 · 04-08-2007, 09:52 PM

how does the radius arm pivot in the front if it is attached at 1 points up front. i see how the rear of the arm pivots but not the front.

landy-ross · 05-09-2007, 08:20 AM

defenders have coils front and rear. it then has a panhard rod and radius arms at the front. at the rear it has an A frame and trailing arms

it doesnt pivot on the axle, when lifted or when the suspension is flexing, the castor angle changes hope that helps.

landy-ross · 05-09-2007, 09:00 AM

theshimonator · 05-09-2007, 09:06 AM

although there was once a special that was only used in the military that was leaf because of it being easier to maintain and i saw it on tv on a programme called crafty tricks of war.

landy-ross · 05-09-2007, 02:20 PM

this picture shows the rear, it shows the top mounts for the A frame.

this shows the axle mount for the A frame on the right of the diff pan, this is upside down and also the diff pan isnt standard.

the sivler bit in this picture is of a trailing arm (rear by the way)

this is of the A frame set up

shout if there is anything else you want pictures of
