    Yeah, i started it so the people who are actually coming on this website to get motivation to build can see its not so hard, a 17 year old kid can do it. may not be a beautiful, 4130, heat treated, uniball, powder coated, perfection. But it works and gets those dirt miles under my belt.

    Did I just get front row seats to the haterzball?

    I wish I had two more hands so I could give your fab work 4 thumbs down. Hate, hate, hate, hate.

    But really, props on actually hacking up your truck then throwings pics of it on Haterz World to get flamed. +1 For trying. You have to start somewhere. Please don't hurt youself or anyone else in that jacolby rig.

    Seriously bud. There are people here that do their own fabbing. Myself included, from scratch.

    One thing you have take into consideration is physics. Find someone here and ask before committing to a fab that could kill someone. What I see there is a hack. Some back woods shit.

    I'm all for learning from mistakes and pioneering but you sir are a retard.

    The coilover is actually perfect. For an a-arm setup like this you want your shock vertical at droop and 90 degrees to the arm at bump. I have this exactly set and it works great. Just because the coilover is in the middle of the arms doesnt mean it will bend the arm. Its called a 2:1 ratio.

    Wtf. Look at your pictures. The shock is vertical at ride height! What do you think happens when your suspension compresses?

    God I can't imagine that is going to handle well at all.

    Also that's just a pic of you on a dirt trail
