LOOKS VERY INTERESTING THOMAS, CLEAN INSTALLATION. "thumbsup" ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE TO CLEARANCE THE FRONT KNUCKLES A LITTLE? LOOKS LIKE A SMALL AMOUNT OF STEERING IS SACRIFICED. THEY SURE LOOK STOUT! :twisted:

DO YOU THINK THESE MIGHT WORK WITH THE NEW TRUSSES?

Thats awesome Thomas, I'm gonna have to look into this as an option down the road, sorry if this is answered somewhere but do you have a kit price, can they be bought as front, rear or a kit, is the hardware required aside from stock hardware included with the trusses? Thx Kurt"thumbsup"

TICK TOCK :ror:

Really? I got your tick tock......
It takes time to get things right....unless you want stuff slapped in a bubble pack that you need more parts for to make them right...
I had to tear my rig apart and completely rebuild the front and rear link set up to check for fitment and set up changes and necessary hardware for the new trusses...in the process of doing so I laid my rear shocks down too much and got some TT issues...I need to remount my rear shocks lower on the rear truss to get the angle steeper and apply more stability and pressure to the rear end...pics in a few of what Ive done so far...

Vulture XR with Paradox F&R axle trusses
Heres a whole lotta pics....I need to shorten my upper rear links a tad...remount the rear shocks to gain some verticle angle cuz they lay way to flat right now...shortening the rear uppers will drop the driveline angle back down a bit which will also help reduce drive line torque which is adding to the TT....

Bob..I was one step ahead of you with the TLT suspension stays...ya know..with the dual hole stays the rear upper links have 168 possible positions...I havent done the math yet on all the other links....the servo doesnt hit through the entire flex cycle..it doesnt hit the shocks or the front chassis brace or links, nothing. I didnt really lose any steering at all since I had backed my steering off a tad...I lost about 3-5* from the bare axle. Im not complaining...Ill post some pics of crawling and hopefully some video later today.

Good job bro well done ! Does the front lower links have a hang up? Kinda looks like it

YEAH IT WAS LIKE A LIGHT BULB, I WAS LOOKING AT SOME PARTS IN A DRAWER AND SAW THOSE STAYS AND SAID THERE YA GO "thumbsup", THAT IS A LOT STOUTER THAN DELRIN TABS WOULD HAVE BEEN. GOOD JOB, THE SET UP LOOKS SO VERY ADJUSTABLE :twisted:. CAN'T WAIT TO GET THE THE PARTS AND FIGURE , MOD, FIGURE , MOD, FIG,,,,,,,,,,,,,, OH YEAH.8)

Kurt...yeah I stopped and picked up another box of ACT-rite, some MIDOL and some bandaides...I should be good for a bit...
The lower links on mine are in the next to last lowest position they can go in...they do hang under the axle a tad but not bad...the rock pile will tell the tale for sure...some simple skids or skid bars can remedy that though should I leave them in the spot they are in. The links can be mounted in so many different locations and positions that this could take me a while to find exactly what I want...not counting the mounting variations at the chassis the lower links have 48 possible mounting positions on the front axle...I think everyone can find what they like....Im thinkin of changing my screen name to "HOLE-agraph"
