Dave's right about the travel. It's just that I overbuild everything. For instance, I used 1.000" X 0.188" chromoly tubing for the upper and lower control arms. That front end would have been equally at home under a military 6x6 driven offroad. I think it was Pat Ganahl who wrote that he saw over 100 failed suspensions on rod runs every year and so I set out to make mine bulletproof.
In retrospect, 1.000" x 0.125" for the lowers and 0.750" x 0.083" for the uppers would have been more aesthetically pleasing and a God's plenty from a strength standpoint.Last edited by techinspector1; 03-08-2008 at 11:00 PM.
