Pretty cool technologies!

Got my rear lower link/shock/leaf/airbag mount that ties into the SSD lower mounts and lockouts roughly done this evening.

Big burly and hacky but it will work for me. Airbags not figured out yet but I have an idea or two.

Thanks. I read that you liked it but have not seen that you liked it by hitting the like button that makes me warm and fuzzy inside and yearning for more likes from said button.

Anywho, hacky, un-square and rushed building will be continuing.

I like that you like it. I like your truck too. I like more triangulation though.

Great! I am still debating the rear suspension setup. Bags and links or leafs and traction bars (and possible helper bags).

Bags and links sounds really cool. I'd love to see that work.
However leafs are more realistic for a work truck.

Tough choice. Bags sound really cool but you could still run them with the leafs like you said.

I have it setup to go either way right now, just need to make chassis link mounts and chassis bag mounts. Well, minus an axle panhard mount but that is easy peasy. If I can come up with a decent looking bag, I will go with leafs and helper bags and traction bars.

I did these with junk I had around the shop. Could us heat shrink around the springs or sumptin. I dunno, working it out in my brain atm.

I like the heat shrink idea on them, I also still like how the Summit bumper fits up nicely.

The summit bumper? Yeah.

I have cab roof amber lenses too. Get to drill on and hopefully not screw up the cab while doing that.
