    Doesn’t sound horrible. A lot of rasp comes from the Y pipe though. Being unequal length makes for some funky happenings with exhaust pulses. Time will tell what the equal length does.

    From the y pipe collector it will dump into 3” to a resonator then to the muffler. Realistically there shouldn’t be any raspiness to it. It should be a nice pure note.

    This is what I am talking about! It's going to be extremely rewarding when you get to fire it up for the first time and hear that and all of its excellence.

    Build thread in sig... 4-link long travel
    today was very fulfilling. got the 4-link mocked up with PVC and the link locations (frame side) mocked up with some scrap tubing tacked into place. The hours of measuring, spreadsheets, and math paid off, and the suspension cycled exactly as planned on the first try. I trusted the math, but wanted to mock up anyway before cutting and drilling the expensive 2''x.25''wall DOM. it also allowed me to test clearance on what remains of the the frame, and confirm what the up and down limiting factors will be.

    at full compression, the limiting factor is the driveshaft contacting the underside of the cab. at full drop, the limit is the driveshaft u-joints (pinion angle is where it should be). there are of course some ways around both of these limits, but i'm hitting my planned travel numbers without them, so no need.

    between both limits, vertical wheel travel is 25''. bumped and strapped, i'll be limiting it down to about 22''. the photos with the tape measure below show 26.25'' from bottom of drum to concrete where i plan to have the bump bottom out, and 4.25'' from bottom of drum to concrete where i plan to have the limit strap stop things (stretch factored in).

    also tested out articulation to make sure there were no link contact issues. vertical separation was adequate. it will articulate more than the photo shows, but i ran out of Jack, and the heat index is 115 degrees here today, so i wasn't feeling rigging up the engine hoist.

    First photo is the truck at ride height, which will be roughly 1'' of lift over stock. strapped and bumped, this yields 12'' of compression and 10 inches of drop. this is with 18'' axle mounted coilovers.

    articulation. pleased with how little horizontal axle movement/rear steering there is under articulation.

    Lowers are a little over 40". Forget what the uppers are off the top of my head. Just a hair over 1 inch of plunge. Factory slip yoke on the two piece shaft.
