  • Tig welded 3/16 brake line body
  • 645 Servo with alum arm
  • 7.2 3800 split pack axle mounted
  • 3/8 cutting board lower link mount and skid plate with inboarded link's
  • alum shocks
  • F & R bent links

Default started with a peace of paper and a ruff idea
Here is the clocked moter plate template from Harly0706 and did a little tweeking to it
then I did a belly skid and layed out the TVP with alot of extra hole so I could fine tune it latter

That pic is at full bump, I was trying a droop set up I'm not sure if I will keep it I also have alot of anti squat climes long steep stuff good but won't clime a curb very well and I'm going to vertical sepreration on both frame and axle side to combat duck walk AKA side steep I know the upper link are long enough

most competitive rigs now run the center height around 2" or less these days around here.

Ya I'm going to make new side plates that will lower the shocks. It would work great for droop but I'm probably going to go with standard susp set up with this truck. I was wondering how many 2.2 comp rig with drive shafts go with droop sus ? havent had much luck and I'm farly good with susp set up as far as shock oil spring rate and shock angle and effect maybe it my driving style ?

Are the link end screws just threaded into the TVP plate?


And the rear 4-link is just way out-of-whack.
