looks like some no mind painted it with out good primer

 

The only parts of the suspension/steering the avg person can fab would be a trackbar, control arms, and maybe crossover steering if they were feeling motivated. Everything else would have to be bought.
And none of the suspension components for over 7" of lift are "cheap" not sure where you got that. Making things yourself is cheap and potentially less durable. Take a look at dodgeoffroad, dtprofab, thuren, ballistic fab, etc prices...they're very expensive and quality. If you know what you're looking at, piecing a big lift together will work just fine. I've seen it first hand with a friends 2nd gen ram.

Anyway, I'm going to Yankee Lake truck night this weekend for the mega truck challenge so hopefully there's a few lifted 2nd gens i can get pics of.

 

i honestly dont think they used any primer at all, or clear coat

 

I have built lots of suspension lifts I do it as a hobby I make all the brackets, control arms, trackbars, coil buckets, shock hoops, steering, driveshafts and they are all made with the same quality and strength of an aftermarket kit if not stronger because I tend to overbuild for safety

 

^^^^ Well this is a pix thread lets see your work and your truck and Jeep, I don't think I have ever seen pix of either.

 

^That guy talks sometimes.

 

+1 Matt. Where are your pics from the challenge bro!?


+1 million!

 

I have not done this to my truck or my jeep I am keeping leaf springs on that
here are some of the pics of my work they are not in order. the one with the orange ascents is not complete yet, the other one has the completed pic in there, unfortunately I cannot find my front end in progress pics and the trucks I have done I cant find either

 

Thanks for the pix, but some of your truck's and Jeep would be nice as well.

 

Nice to see your work h3lz!

Is there any build thread going for those?

On the rear 4-link, do I see saran wrap or something on the links? Just curious as it looks odd shiny.

The front shock towers look like RuffStuff ones or similar. How do you like them?

For that front axle build, is it going to be 4- or 3-link?


Thanks for putting up.
