Default k2 jacked up chevy 454ss

howdy, i started this project about a week ago, i just wanted to try to build a truck with tlt differentials that would look like about a 16" lift on 44" tsls, this is what i came up with...

k2 chassis

this is basically coil type with two polished stock tlt shocks

this is basically finished here, i bought a stupid r/c truck from ToysRus for the body, which i must admit looks pretty sweet, it has a 12" wb, which was perfect for what i wanted to do with it, anyways i will post up a video of it in the next few days.....

That looks killer! Although I cant see how you are fighting axle sway. Those links look pretty square to the frame. Maybe try a 3 link with a panhard? Most chevy's lifted that high with SAS run that anyways.

how are you keeping the axles centered under the rig? I dont see any trianglulation or track bar to keep things in check....

nluv, i know exactly what you mean, but have virtually none whatsoever, if you look closely at the last pic of the whole truck, you will see big washers on the outside of the rod end, this is because it eliminates the axles from moving left to right, it only allows it to move up and down, you will be able to see it in action hopefully in a few days.....
