Straight to Long Travel 2011

9100 4 tube bypasses. I have a gallon of oil and the retrofit shaft seal for them.

As soon as my truck is rolling again

 

What stuff ?

 

The good stuff lol

 

U should have just text me I could of grabbed the measurement for ya.

 

My bad Chris that would have been much easyier to just text you. Now hopefully I can get some progress done. I like your bedcage that you had made. It gives the truck a new look. How much did that run?

 

I fitted the front hangers and made gussets for them. They are not the prettiest welds but they are strong. I Also finished boxing the rear portion. Still debating how I want the rest of the cross members.

 

Looking good....

 

Thanks Chris

 

Nice

With Proper gusseting and reinforcement I think Engage products can work just fine

 

Looks good buddy!

 

Thanks Anthony.
So i was mocking up the rear hangers today and i noticed that about the last 6 inches of the frame are twisted. but just the last portion. I wonder if that was from towing with my high clearance tow hitch.

 

I just realize i have the passeger spring th wrong way haha

 

Mine was slightly twisted the other direction I had to space it out a 1/16th on one side and 3/32ds on the other to get them squared up

I noticed the part number on the wrong end lol

 

I can't seem to the the rear width matched with the front hanger width. It about and 1/8 of from being equal with the front. Since the frame dove tails i can't get the front of the rear hanger to come in more. The rear portion of the rear hanger is perfect though. I hope that make sense lol

 

1/8" per side or total? You can gap it slightly or plate that section if it's 1/8" per side.


P.S. fuuuck this frame the dove tail is very annoying and it affects the swing on the shackles if you don't get it perfect

 

That's why you gotta skip shackles and link it...short course Links that is

 

1/8" total. Its the front portion of the hanger that needs to be narrower

 

or widen up the rear to match. "lower the water or raise the bridge"


EDIT: Did you weld in the axle perch already?

 

You just taught me a lesson I will never forget. Naw those are the old ones from the richer racing set up. I am in the process of cutting them off.

 

Chris if you ever need help, or working on it today, send me a text i can come by and help.
