Bad *** build!

Did you narrow the rear and if so how much?

Very nice build. Suspension looks great but I'm curious, why did you tie the lower link bars together? Seems like that would inhibit independent movement of each wheel.

exactly what i was thinking, i was reading thru the entire post then gonna reply. is it limiting how the rear articulates; at least it seems.
ladder bar setup is less forgiving than a 4link due to only having two bars; having the lower tied together on a 4link, i'm curious how it'll feel also.

My chassis guy told me that that is how he has done several pro mods chassis this way and the guys love it. Does not affect anyway the 4 link works but strengthens it up a lot and he figured that this suspension in a 1000+ rwhp TRUCK without a roll cage would be just fine.

not without a cage lol

Love this build! Rick has some fancy turbo stuff. I seen you have a v banded ?46?mm waste gate????? Did Rick do that custom for you because I think his new cast manifolds come with 2 bolt flange for the 39mm.

Yea, welding the lower 4-link bars together is common in the pro-mod ranks. I've seen it talked about over on the bullet. You're not building a pro-mod are you....lol
