Re: Bagged 05 Suburban

To center the rearend the panhard bar needed lengthened 1/4".

Cut the bar




Lengthened 1/4" and tac welded for fitment. Installed the bar and raised the rearend to ride height and measured. The rearend was centered within a 1/32 so pulled the bar back out and started making the plates to weld over the 1/4 gap.


Bending the front plate


Making a pattern for the back plate


Transferring the pattern to flat stock


Pictures didn't turn out but they show the plates welding to the bar

Front plate


Back plate

Also started making the mounts for the air tanks, compressors, and valves. The plan is to install the air management system between the frame rails where the spare tire was.




Showing the panhard bar and one of the mounts clamped for fitting




Starting to look like something


Tac'd together for fitting. Everything checked out so tomorrow I'll remove the tanks and finish welding
