You live in a trailer? My house is right on the ground.

Couldn't resist, Purpl. I tried, but couldn't do it. It's all in good fun.

HAHA! I guess as tall as a house is a better statement. My house is on the ground. The camper is lifted off the ground, though.

Gotcha!

Truth be told, I was once the worst kind of trailer trash, the kind that other trailer trash looked down upon, living in an RV rather than a real mobile home. I was starting my business after losing my career, and had to minimize expenses so we moved into a campground and built a mini-barn for my office. Fortunately it worked as intended!



So it's okay when you end up living in an RV in a couple of years. I'll still be your friend -- unless you show up on my porch dragging a garbage sack full of clothing, anyway.

But anyway, why are the links on all your trucks so damn long? Is there a rhyme or reason to it, or are you just showing off inadequecys?

Lol, no

The links on the 75 were determined by the set up I researched, get the top bars set at the correct angle, and the lower arms needed to be 30% longer, the RAM, I made them long to minimize bind against the leafs during suspension movement, one guy ran short arms on his cummins, and actually bent the frame when did a sled pull, and I have seen lots a broken arms from the stress of being so short and fighting the leafs, and they look small in the pics, but the rams traction bars are about 2" dom with 1,1/8" x 3/4" heims...

Looks more like a Deutz-Allis green.
