Are you running it through a link calc before hand? Are you going to mock up the links first? Dual triangulated?? Whats your plans?

Thats a lot like the sidekick. I am running the TG upper 4 link bracket, but upper ballistic frame side brackets with creeper joints. Let me know if you need anything:thumbs:
 
looks good! Are you planning to plate the rear truss down to the axle housing? I'm also a little curious on the lower link mount frame side why you didn't further center them for more triangulation, is their some clearence issues? I'm sure it will work fine either way

Thats about as far center as that x member will let me go. i might chop a little off the gussets to get the links a little more center.

i am planning to plate the rear truss on the front and on the back.


Thanks guys :cool:
 
Didn't read your whole build thread so this might have already been asked. On the top link mounts on front, is there another plate that goes in them? Or do the joints run in single shear? If so, I'd change that.
