    Not to bring up the bashing on companies but I may have been lucky with Camburg because they answered every time I called never gave me the run around and even gave me an upgrade for free. Glassworks on the other hand......

    Why would you, and where the hell would you put the shocks?
    I don't see any reason why you would want to

    I dont know, was just drawing down some rough ideas. That was what I was thinking about shock placement mostly. I was just curious if its been done before.

    Honestly was sketching Ideas to see if it were possible to make a bolt in bracket for center mount A-arms and was trying to think of away around the stock UCA mounts. Would it not be an interesting concept to have a choice of 2 front suspension systems on one truck? be able to race 7200 then for having fun have center mount? I have a lot of free time right now and my mind is being creative haha

    BTF wanted to use my truck as a prototype to make a kit for our trucks like the mazzula kit. It would eliminate the coil bucket and uca mounts and use new one. They wanted my truck for 2 months and i don't have another dd so I had to turn it down.

    Sounds cool, but a lot of unnecessary work.

    I honestly think you are underestimating the capabilities of a front kit with stock mounting locations. With the right valving and just a set of bumpstops in the front you can haul ass with a linked rear. Center mount would definitely be even better but its all about valving...just look at dan vances truck.

    Im not disagreeing with you. Im not running a center mount set up... yet and If i do im going to do it the old fashioned way. just making "cocktail napkin" sketches. who knows something may click and something might work. If no one thought outside of the bubble we wouldn't have cantilever in the first place.

    as of right now yes I am over thinking it but thats the point lol. brainstorming. :typing:
