Upgrade - Motor Mount truss for standard Wide Ride IFS

As we are constantly searching to improve the Wide Ride line, The new Truss mount system will be available on all Wide-Ride-3 IFS kits. Series 3 IFS platforms fit 55-59 chevy trucks (also 48-72 "F" trucks). The new Truss mounts can be welded in before shipping, or loose for cutom applications. The Truss plate itself is a one-size-fits-all unit, alllowing for several different engines and setbacks, based on the modular bolt-on upper mounts. SBC, BBC, LSX, (and "F" motors) are all available. The Truss offers increased strength for hi-performance applications, as well as lighter weight than typical 'tower' mounts. The truss plates are ported for fuel and brake lines, and the rack and pinion ports are on both sides, for our RHD customers.

Hey Rob,

When is the rear clip going to be on your website?

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

I thought they were. I'll check it out.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

how about a pic of that trailling crossmember? I can't get any lower without something like that. thanks Ben

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

i love the rear rail kit...;)
how low would it go with shockwaves aired out? i looked a lot of pics but i can t find the it out... wich lenght of shockwaves would fit it?
thx

are there some pics?

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Length of the Shockwave will have an impact, but the limiting factor is still the axle/frame rail clearance. Aired out the rocker will be appx 3" off the ground with a 28" tire. At this point the OETrialing arm and trans crossmembers are 1" above the dirt.

About like this.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

thx a lot for the anwers and the pics...

sounds great;)

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

does anyone have the link to the thread where the truck is in it which is in the c10 builders guide from street trucks? i mean the pro touring chassis illustrated in that magazine?that who has the no limit suspension all around...
i find it few days ago but don t remember where it is and can t find it;(

thx...

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Prob not the 'same' truck, but the one directly posted above hase basically the same chassis. It uses Shockwaves vs coil overs....

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

yes i saw that built thread the rear is raised 5.5 inches...

but i find a thread were that pro touring chassis from the builders guide was in and can t find it anymore...

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

The height of mine is the same as the rear rail kit. I did raise my rails a little more but it was for how I did the sway bar and panhard bar.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Olay thx;)

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Can I ask why the offset on the rack? Why not just center the rack?
I am just wondering, i was going to center mine. "If I was to install my own" Would I lose travel?

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

You would have to put a extension on both side if you centered it. Then the steering shaft would probably be in the engine. You keep it all the way to the left for clearance.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Thanks Chris

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

you have a LS adapter plate you like for this setup?

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

How wide is it from rail to rail? How wide of a back tire can be used? I think this may be exactly what I need.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Attachment 1293545hey rob thats what i need for my 71 c10 lwb dedicated drag truck (no street), you us racers are all about weight and weight is King. I just dont need everything that comes in the package, like sway bars and power steering (whats that) lol. Can you sell just parts of it? And a manual rack would be nice.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

And the ZG spindles seperate....mabey?

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

The raised rail kit (long/short) stays at 34 3/8" wide O.D. all the way back. The inner fender lip is 73 1/2" I.D. So, inner lip to frame rail is 19.5". Out FatBar 4-link sits outside the rail, and takes up 3 1/2", So with that suspension you have 16". Plenty of room for a 345 tire or a 12" slick.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

For our WideRide IFS, yes, we can do a manual rack. This is a flaming river billit rack, and adds +$200. We can drop the sway bar, -$175. The ZG spindle is avail separately, $380 pr, but really won't fit any OE suspension. - but, we can drop the 12" OE brakes (23 lbs per side) -$250, and you can use a Wilwood 12" dynalite drag brake (11 lbs per side). The standard WideRide is 180 lbs lighter that the OE IFS. Man rack saves 6 lbs, + pump and hoses. No sway bar saves you another 18 lbs. Do the brake swap and save another 24 lbs. That 228 lbs. off of the front. Should be worth .250 sec.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Thanks rob sounds like a drag setup to me, i will get w/ you after the season about this. Sub seven sec. range here i come!

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Can that top mount rear sway bar be mounted while the bed is on the truck.?

Also do people do their C-notches with the bed on..?

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Rob,
I'm building my 72 c10 short box to lay frame.
Will the rear rail kit allow me to achieve this or will I bottom out before laying out?
Thanks in advance.
I'm just checking my options and I really like the rear rail set-up,
But It appears to not be what I will need.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

BigDaddyV

With the raised rail kit and a 26 inch tall tire the frame will be 1.75 inches off the ground roughly. If you put in a small c notch you could get there. What rear suspension are you thinking?

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

If I were to go with the Rail Kit, I was gonna do the no limit Fat bar 4 link. with bags.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

With bags I think you will be ok going lower you might have lower mounts a little.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

I'm sure I could make it work, and I'm no stranger to Fabrication. I may go that route....
But then again, I just realized you said 26" tire.... I won't run anything smaller that 29" on the rear so it may be a problem...

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

You could probably get to .75 of the ground with a 29 tall tire.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

with a c-notch?

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Yes sir

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Very cool. Now to get some S#i1 Rolling!
Thank you sir!

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

FYI Rob is finishing his move. There new phone number is on his site or I can also order it.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Does anyone have a Photo of the rear rail kit w/ air bagged fat bar set up?

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

I would like to see this as well.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

3 link update would be cool

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

3-Link Update.
3-link kits are now in production and available for the following trucks.
55-59, 63-72, 73-87. They can be purchased in partial or complete kits. Complete kit pricing is the same as our FatBar 4-bar. $1150. Some measuring and drilling is required, also welding. We can also offer a Moser 9" with the mounts welded for $1245. (housing, axles, bearings, studs and brackets) If you are using a bolt in C-notch, you may need to modify (grind to fit) the upper coil-over (or bag) and panhard mount brackets.

We have been testing these on Wes Drelleshack's Apache, and on a local '78 SWB for over a year. No problems, no failures, great handling and control, smooth ride. If Wes can't hurt it, it can't be hurt.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

The crossmember shown above is for 55-59's, and mild dropped 63-87. LOW 63-87 will have the drive shaft kick on the top of the crossmember, and the 3-link mounting points are raised.

Re: No Limit Spy Photos
 

Rob, I'm building a '66 short bed and I'm interested in a three link kit. The frame rails under the cab are 5" off the ground at ride height (truck is on air). I'm thinking that I'll need to Z the frame after the cab to raise the rear frame rails up enough so the crossmember will be high enough to get the links at the correct angle at ride height? Or will the Low version have the correct link angles with a 5" ride height without Z'ing the frame? I want to be able to tow with the truck so I want a full frame rail height, so I'm already planning to either Z the frame or do a step notch. The links look to be a good bit shorter than the original trailing arms, so I think there's room for a Z behind the cab, but before your crossmember? I'm interested in a kit either way, just wanting to make sure I order the correct version so the link angles are correct at ride height.
