Nice work man! my lower arms are actual chrome bagged arms from air ride tech so im not much help there. I might be able to get in there and get a pic with them all the way down so you can see but it might be difficult

Nobaddaze · 04-15-2012, 10:36 PM

got some work done this weekend!

ordered up material for back half and link bars.
welded up link bar but need to machine threaded bungs for adjustable bushings.
measured about 50 times and cut my frame in half. im using 2" x 6" tubing squeezed inside of stock c-channel frame. im having my fourlink front mount still bolt on throught stock frame and new tubing, but the new tubing is going to be welded and gusseted to frame. ordering fuel cell and building roung tubing frame around lower section of firewall and a new x-member with driveshaft hoop out of roung tubing. enjoy the pics!

lmfao im just trying to fig out what measurements you have to take to do so.

Nobaddaze · 04-19-2012, 03:39 PM

The critical measurements you need are the measurements that keep your rear end square to the frame and the correct distance from the transmission. I designed my whole rear end in solidworks so mine is totally customand it wont help you much. Just remember to keep it square so your truck tracks strait down the road. Good luck!

any ideas on a cool set of motor mounts? the stock shell style just look boring to me? does anyone make a set of billet housings or something?

grayharville · 04-23-2012, 09:58 PM

maybe use a rubber bushing (like a link bushing) and pipe, in a T shape, with a simple bracket on the motor, hell, I dont know.

Pro Performance · 04-23-2012, 10:09 PM

Something like this? Maybe???

Nobaddaze · 04-25-2012, 01:40 AM

i did get a little done tonight. i didnt like the look of the hard corner on by rear corners so...

Pro Performance · 04-25-2012, 01:40 AM

I like that last photo.

Pro Performance · 04-25-2012, 01:46 AM

Yeah, that is for an LS swap, but was the only picture I could find. I had a set on a muscle car back in the day, and came with their front subframe. I am sure you can fab up something off the frame to make these work.

I bet they sell them as a pair by themselves. Chassisworks is actually the company that owns KP Components.
