Bandwagon 05 lt build

Subd for my twin build! Camburg front, defined rear and a silver truck!
Looks great man

 

Haha right on man, started working on the bedcage yesterday...... Cut out what we worked on today. Will start again tomorrow haha. Gonna make two separate pieces that attach unlike your one piece system if that makes sense? When the hoops are done I'll bolt on the defined kit then finish the spare carrier

 

So just two shock hoops with a removable brace in the middle? Kinda like lembowski but hoops instead of the towers..?

 

i think he's talking more like 2 separate structures that connect, unlike your bedcage how the main side tubes go all the way back to support the tires

 

Ohh i see, sweet! Cant wait to go on a run with you soon Chris!

 

Bingo, yeah apparently I forgot to check some angles when making the first side so when bending the second side got all screwed up.....



But couldn't duplicate it because I'm impatient or dumb... Hahah so picked up 20 more feet of tubing today and will cut it out

 

Nice truck man

 

Thank you,

 

Ok well changed the design will be installing the defined kit tomorrow and finishing he tire carrier hopefully.

Basic bed saver style all welded up and ready for SUA kit

Will be puttin a few more braces in and making an area behind the tires for two gas cans

 

Third times a charm lol looks good man

 

Your bedcage looks similar to the start of mine

 

Shitty picture, long day of installing. Drives pretty different the body roll is pretty fun just need to get the weight in the bed, limit straps and break lines. Oh and a slip yoke damn 2wd. Will get more pics later

 

New ride height???? Hahaha

 

dam one sick truck! looking forward to updates!

 

Your rig is looking great!!

 

Relocating from the BS Thread

Great looking truck

 

This too. The cage looks sick chris! Why did you guys mount the shocks so high if they are 16s? Mine and most others are level with the bed.

 

Do you have a slip yoke? When you installed the spring perch did you just weld it parrallel with the top one?

 

For whatever reason the shock is way longer then the leaf pack so we split the difference and there is about 1.5" left for full droop and 1.75" for full bump.. Maybe when the pack settles it will change. Also mounted the shock in the middle of the axle and about 4" from it so the shock is almost vertical.

When we welded on the spring perch we had the leafs on and set it to the angle I don't remember what it was I'm thinking 5 degrees?? Tacked it and took it all apart and welded it it.
