[06 DIESEL]

I have my joints and picked up my DOM today, 2.25" OD, 1.5" ID .375" wall. Now I just have to wait for the holidays to get over so I can get them done.

You have any better pics of how you mounted those bars?

 

[RascalMafia]

I drilled and tapped the suspension block, and welded a heims joint to the u-bolt bracket on the bottom of the axle...the made a plate that bolted to where the skid plate goes and somewhere else...its been too long, i will try to get pics soon

That’s an awful lot of force on a lift block, I wouldn't put much faith in that.

What is the cooler for above the diff (upper right of the photo)?

 

[cumminsbomber21]

has anyone seen Rize Industries bars for their big lifts? they look real nice, they are an A-frame design, they have a real nice front shackle mount, probably crazy stupid money though... when i used to build rockcrawlers with rear leaf springs i used a single a-frame bar mounted close to the center of the diff so the suspension could flex all over, basicly just to keep the pinion from pointing up in the air. that setup definately made a lot of anti-squat so i think two of them would work good for pulling.:blahblah1:

Chad, how does the truck ride with Jesse's bars?

Makes all the difference in the world Colin.

Today it ocurred to me that an old leaf spring mount bolted to the side of the frame would make a handy link bar mount. Anyone else thought of this?

 

[hpprose]

Are you planning on running the bars on the outside of the frame? Otherwise, it is a lot of material just for a mount.
