I like it.

The gov lock did its normal thing.
This is the 2nd time the 12 bolt gave up.
Couldn't believe the amount of hate the 9in replacement got.
Didn't know the gm fan boys where that way.

Well..... The GOV lock set-ups are known weak links so there's that. I'm fine w/the 9" or 8.8 options.

He knew the issues with the gov bomb.
Also don't suppose the donuts spun had anything to do with it.
Lol

No way...

Kid surprises me again.

Cal trac housing bracket won't cooperate with the dual shock brackets.
Because pre runner stuff.

So he downloaded fusion 360 Tuesday. Sends me this Wednesday

Man.... How cool would it have been to have tools like this that one-time I was a young-gun?

I was thinking about my ears, but yeah that too.

After a complete failure with the local guy, sendcutsend.com blew us away.
Kid left a .010 tolerance and it fit together so well that it needed a love tap to take apart for the final fit up

KQQL IT · 06-18-2022, 11:23 PM

Brother's on vacation.

Back on the K5 my son's got the fusion360 working pretty well I think.
Since we sectioned the crossmember 1.5 inches then raised the upper pivot the same trying negate some bumpsteer and got only a 2° camber change thru the usable travel.
He drew us up a new upper pivot that's 1.75 taller than stock
and created an access hole for the airbag fittings.

May also ad in a coil over mount into it.

Final render

KQQL IT · 06-25-2022, 06:50 PM

1st mock up

KQQL IT · 06-29-2022, 08:10 PM

New parts came.

KQQL IT · 07-03-2022, 08:24 PM

Welding it out.

KQQL IT · 07-09-2022, 12:29 PM

Sperical washer.
Sure why not.

SCOTI · 07-09-2022, 07:17 PM

What's the purpose (need?) for the spherical washers?

The choppin block arms have a tight(er) tolerance on the stud.
And with any caster in the shim stack it bends the stud overvwhen flange nut is tight.
And looks better than the factory stuff.

SCOTI · 07-09-2022, 09:51 PM

Makes sense. Where did you source them for reference?

KQQL IT · 07-11-2022, 01:45 AM
