Re: how about some laid out longbeds
 
Kev2809, My suspension is cupped lower control arms, swap to disc brakes from a '76 truck, RE-6's, top plates, and finished the front off with DJM three inch lowering spindles. The rear is a Air Ride Tech. triangulated four link, FBI notch, and RE-7's.

Here's a pic of the rear. kinda hard to see but all I have on my laptop.

Love the pics, especially the red one, I saw a pic of it on here last year and it was just the kick in the backside I needed to get moving on mine. Super clean.

Heres mine, again not quite laid out, its sitting on bumpstops though. Its about to get 20" steelies and a chopped front crossmember, so then she'll be down good and hard.

The whitewalls are painted on, the back one looks humped as I had the exhaust dumping in front of it.

Texastrendz you should change it to a line for each bag in case something gives you don't have one end just drop on you.

man that is 3000 psi steel braided hydraulic hose, it will cut through the metal before the metal cuts the hose. i will never have a failure with this setup. all my trucks i do i use hydraulic hose. and no leaks either. lol. it is expensive to use. but i like the insurance of it.

kev2809 05-17-2010 07:39 PM

Re: how about some laid out longbeds
 
is that hose from like a big rig shop?

edit - what kind of panhard bar is that?
