    Trailing arms won't work with a double tri, and for a prerunner type setup, Ray is on the right track. Double tri would be better for a crawler, but that is not what Ray is going for as far as I can tell.

    Pinion angle is def critical, when I was adjusting my links the last go around, an inch can make a huge difference in the rotation of the dif. Small adjustments can have very large effects.

    Cliffs truck is a wishbone 3 link with trailing arms. Think it works pretty well..but i don't see the point. Might as well have gone 4 link.

    I had to google it too. :p I forget things easy now so I take a lot of notes. The lower links go inward. Buggy style links for sure.

    It's where upper and lower links are triangulated, trailing arm setups are single triangulated with the uppers, lowers are parallel.

    This is insane.
    There's no way you'll ever complete this.

    You're not a professional fabricator.
    It'd be like trying to build your own bumpers from scratch or converting a prerunner into 4wd or, or, wait.....

    This is the BBR build thread.
    Nevermind.
    Carry on. :cheers:

    @Blackdawg im going to have to build a whole new fuel pump bracket. Should I use an OEM fuel pump or should I upgrade the pump?

    The Walbro 190 seems to be a good match for forced induction in a factory tank, with a factory pickup. The fuel cell opens up other options as your not limited with the pickup design. Is your cell designed for an in-tank or on the rail pump?
