Edward Fast We use a Rogue Fab bender. We use a variety of brackets from Barnes4wd, Ballistic Fab, and Ruff Stuff. All the link joints on the Suburban are Barnes Enduro joints and heims for steering. The Ranger has Ballistic joints.
Caught a little air on the front during the shakedown run. Haven’t had an issue yet. The door alignment hasn’t been great since owning it, but it hasn’t seemed to get any worse since the tube front was added.
@@RecklessWrenchGarage ok cool good to know, i am tempted to do something similar with my truck probably going to go a slightly different end game route though. and i don't really recall a heavily modded 4x4 that i have been in that had doors aligned exactly unless it was a new build. thanks for the reply and awesome videos! loving the fabricating and off-roading ones!
2.5" King Coilovers 14" Travel 200 over 250 springs Both springs 14" long. 🤔 .... I am building a crew cab with a 454. (For me) I was thinking 250 over 350 on 12" travel. I should be close.
If you’re able to, I would recommend weighing the vehicle prior to choosing springs rates. The more accurate your numbers, the closer you will be with the suspension setup from the start.
We knew where we wanted the body and axle to sit. Once we knew how much shock shaft we wanted at ride height, we figured out where to mount the coilovers.
Thanks for the quick response. Made me wonder after your comment of cost per foot. I'm currently building a 53 Willys pickup using a 78 Chevy frame. Going with 1 ton axles and coil over 4 link.
Watching it like a serial) great job guys!!! Awesome shocks, thanks for explanations
I like how you guys show beginner and more advanced info. You show everything.
"Stay reckless!!!" Keep it I dig it. I want it one a shirt now!!!

has there been any impacts yet on the front and if so how has the boxed mounts on the A-Pillar handled it?
Looks awesome!

200/250 in the front, 200/200 in the rear.
How do you know where to locate the coilovers
We knew where we wanted the body and axle to sit. Once we knew how much shock shaft we wanted at ride height, we figured out where to mount the coilovers.
Are you guys in New Mexico?
Yes

What size coilovers are these ! ?
