Couple new additions to my LBZ

[D-MAX Mafia]

I started building a welding bed for my truck almost a year ago. I was finishing it up yesterday when it mysteriously fell over, smashing my custom fenders. I have 2 more being made as we speak. Also, built a one off wishbone 3 link on semi bags over the last week. Rides like a mini van now.

Couple pics

before it fell over

how much travel in the bags Ben? ive been wanting to do that for a few years, we might need to get together :hug:

also, how are you keeping the axle centered? pan hard or another bar im not seeing?

 

[D-MAX Mafia]

Bags can go from 6" up to 17" I have them set at 12" so I have another 7" of droop. I'm gonna make this a bolt/weld on kit. Already got with a few companies to start cutting everything out. I will most likely do a 4 link/panhard bar and a 3 link/wishbone

This will be for the 4"-10" lift guys. Bags will support 13,500lbs together 6,750 a piece. The ride is unbelievable.

James, I used an offset wishbone to center the axle. All links are as long as I could go. Pinion change is almost non existent through the entire cycle of the bags.

It came out perfect but I've also been working on the design for a long time. Finally took the time off to do it.

I didn't post detailed pics on purpose. Too many sharks in the water.

Very cool air ride set up. Was hoping someone would do this sometime.

I've been wanting to do that on my 71 4x4 just never have had the chance or change

I'm leaving Sunday or Monday for Oklahoma and Missouri to get some business worked out on this. Let's get together when I get back. I think we both have something to offer.

Have you thought about a ways link panard? Nice looking so far very interested in how much for your kit when done. Sorry to say I just may be one of those sharks. Not that I would be out to steal your idea just like to fabricate my own stuff.

A "watts link" you mean? Not for the lifted trucks unless you want to build a drop down bracket for the outer mounts since the links need to stay as parallel to the axle as possible. But since you like to build your own stuff you can design something to work.
