so this summer hopefully gonna get dana 60 70 swap. but also wanting to run a coil over in the rear and get rid of leafs. want somthing different and run a triangle 4 link.. i know someone that is a frabicator that will do the work pretty cheap. wondering if there is a mount kit for coil overs on 2nd gen dodges or will everything have to be made from scratch?

 

Not really finding anything on a quick search... might wanna check websites of companies that make the coilovers, and see if they have any pre-fabbed mounts that you can just weld on..... If not, make your own.

 

Checkout this link, it's from Dodge offroad & look at the bottom of the page, he talks about working on a "4link rear suspension" for second gen rams. Hope that points you in a direction

You are adding coilovers on BOTH front and rear? Shock towers for 2nd gen are mostly custom made. Thuren makes a set and all I've seen is that a person tried them but too tall.

There is some version that will use the existing front bucket. I don't know how well it worked though. The owner of the dodgeoffroad (link in post above me) is fabbing his own tower to work like this. I don't know the status though.

So you are going to run a triangulated 4link in the front/rear or both? Asking b/c they are possible and unclear from what you posted.

Myself and buddy are both doing our fronts. He started on his.

 

It works pretty good.




99% bolt-in, you just need to drill 3 holes per side (not necessary but the brackets are made to use 6 bolts to hold them to the stock upper bucket) and it all bolts right up. There are two versions, one for remote rezzies and one for standard coilovers without remote rezzies. They can also be used to mount up King/Fox/etc shocks like any other shock tower.



As far as the rear coilovers, there will be a kit available for that shortly. Should be almost all bolt-on but I haven't found a way around welding the axle brackets on yet.

 

^Nice one Danny. I know you have more pics then that....

 

Triangulated 4-link on a street driven rig? Are you going full hydro?

 

No x2. lol

 

I look forward to seeing this

 

You're right, I have a ton of pictures of it. :-)

I'm getting ready to leave the country for a couple of weeks so check out that link and I can answer questions when I get back. It's all bolt in and I can help figure out spring rates and heights.
