roguevogue Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Having spent the last few weeks modifying my front suspension to be my version of 3-link I finally got to test it out before dragging it alll the way to Wales next weekend. I have welded the brackets onto the axle casing to avoid them hanging below the casing, the third link goes to a tubular replacement gearbox cross member. The shock absorbers are 11.5" travel procomps, giving an increase of 5.5" movement over standard. The springs are police spec RR rear (red and white), all round. I am very pleased with the result, I managed to drive just about everything with relative ease. Next I will attack the rear axle with a similar treatment.

roguevogue Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Looking very good there Whats the limitation on the travel at the moment ? Shock travel ? The limitation now is the front prop shaft touching the gearbox cross member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Nick some bugger has had your winch away and left an awful sticker as a calling card on your wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diff Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Very nice! I suppose if you could scallop the gearbox crossmember, and if you had enough space to mount the shocks behind the axle(closer to the chassis/suspension pivot point) you could get a heap more travel out of the same shocks. But do you think you need any more front travel? Regards, Diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
