Any of you lowriders out there... chain bridge on our trucks?
 

Anyone done a chain bridge on the backs of the coil spring trucks? I was trying to get mine to sit on 3 wheels this morning but the rear swingarm just has too much travel to lift up. If you
you've got plans, dimensions, pics, or ideas on doing one, let me know.

Thanks,

Kenneth

top... anyone?

sorry man...that's way beyond my scope of knowledge. Best go to sportruck.com for that one.

chain bride? Please explain?

This probably explains it better than I could...

please explain what this does.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out the point. :D

Following the pic progression... rear suspension, then one with chain bridge, then one with bridge "in action"...

From the web link I provided earlier--


So, when I pump up my left side air bags and dump the right side, instead of just laying over on one side as it does now, it would lift the left front wheel off the ground. It's kind of hard on frames (because of the torsion angle being applied), but fun nonetheless. Just thought I'd troll the group to see if anyone had done this before. :cool:

I understand exactly what ya mean...................I do becuase i was really into lowriders meaning the typical 64 impala juiced lol I know i will get tuanted for saying this...........................im planning on doing that and putting the chains on the front A-arms so i can sorta 3 wheel a little...............this is also a old drag racing trick so the car will do wheel stands........................Jack:bowtie:

thats cool and all but what about our beds bangin our cabs?

do ya think it would matter if it is step or fleet?

just thinking:bowtie:

Mine is step, but I don't think the bed to cab clearance would be a problem. However, I already have a problem with tire clearance when I lay one side all the way down and pump the other side all the way up. Because of the angle of the body to the tire, the rear fender tries to push away at the top edge where the welting is. I use that as my stopping point :)
