yea have you seen the size or the bolts? nothing substancial no bigger than a 1/2" i believe from the setups i have seen. also with that much travel they generaly dont drive them on the road from the people i have talked to because they are so loose that they are all over the road. prob gets trailered to were it is going and a little low speed street driving. but who knows.

bad *** none the less.

My buddy's trying to say that it's useless as a rock crawler, but I don't think that this truck's purpose is rock crawling. I'm not a big time 4x4 nut or anything, but I'm sure that that much travel could come in handy in plenty of off-roading situations OTHER than rock crawling.

Anyway, check my next post for more info on the truck.

I just found this site and this post. This is my rig so I thought I would reply. 1st of all if you read the caption to the video it says that it does NOT have sway bars connected. He was just playing around testing body roll. Also coilovers are made to support the entire weight of the vehicle that is the purpose of using coilovers. No its not for rock crawling, yes it will be a show truck, yes it will be driven on the road. Unfortunatly the engine is stock. The transfer case and the gears allow for a lower reduction but its still pretty sick. In the future I have plans to put in a 502 or 572. This will be an ongoing project that will probably take me a few years to complete. Thanks for the comments!
