Re: Rear suspension
truk has the axle flipped over modified original springs. rebuilt shackles with new pins and bushings, teflon liners. i only used the 4 long springs, removed the short overloads. air shocks, with stock brackets top & bottom, help keep it off the bump stops on michigan potholed roads
rearend is from a $200, 3rd gen 86 trans am with 3.27 gear and disc brakes. i used the trans am sway bar. after market links with ogre built brackets. had to heat the ends to move them out.
i C-notched 2.5" with 4 inch sch40 pipe and reinforced the top of the frame, up to the bedwood, to keep the frame from flexing and breaking. i added small brackets and bump stops, it works
