i know. just a busy time in life right now. Three projects in the build stage, last two classes of school, work, and still trying to have a god time. I will get out there soon. I think we want to do the manx first. that way amanda and the boy have something to ride it. She does not like riding with me in my car.

Eff me do I want me a set of those bars! I need a pair too, I get crazy wheel hop and warp... I got many other things needing money first though. Like coilovers and lights, and new framing, flooring, and diverter to just name a few. Hahaha

Those look to be lower links to me. Can they be used as ladder bars?

They are track bars/ladder bars. Designed for the Titans which get crazy axle wrap as soon as you lift the rear with a block. They are universal for 1/2 ton trucks, I need to get somebody with a 2500 that needs a set, so I can get measurements.

I have a huge F350 if that helps. lol

« **Reply #33 on:** April 27, 2012, 12:33:27 PM »

I have a 99 f250 short bed and a 04 2500 silverado long bed. Don't need a set but I can take measurements for ya.

how hard is it to clone suspension parts? im guessing the factory is just a stamped U steel piece?

Doing a perfect copy of geometry isn't hard, but when you start playing with added caster and coil butcket clearance like these it gets tricky and thats where experience kicks in.

Were already setup to do all the work, its just hard finding time to drive 5+ hours one way to drop the off to me. Once the river place is hospitable, well get them here. still starting with the Manx Tony? I just picked up a Baja build that is starting on Mon. I'll post pics of the progress. Cage front to rear, tranny/engine mounts, custom A-arm front end.

yeah people dont buy stuff like that to stay stock, they obviously lift and thats when all the suspension geometry comes into play.

wish i had the tools and skills to do stuff like that.

So here the '61 Baja Bug project I started last week. I am doing the full cage front to back, with an a-arm conversion in front. Cage is about finished, waiting on the coilovers and motor so I can finish up the rear. Then its off to cut the front end off.

Thanks, I'm not overly happy with the final product design of the cage's roof, but because it has the ragtop, I had no choice. Since I am a Class 1 builder, I like everyrhing to be triangulated. with 3 bars over the seat area. the handle for the ragtop hung so low, I didnt have the headroom to do so. It will have a big roofrack, so that will add a little more protection. it will look similar to this one-

Forgot to post the finished roof rack
