Red's Suspension

So to go along with the new Waggy axles, I had to re-due Red's suspension. I wanted about 7" of lift to clear some 35s/36s. The rear was easy, I went with Rusty's 6" STS springs and 1.5" shackles, it is so basic I really don't have any pictures of it. Currently the rear is sitting over 8" and stiff as heck, I'll have to break them in. In the front I decided on my own longarm design. The coils are Rusty's 6.5", I made the mounts to give me an additional .5". What follows are some pictures of what I did.

The LongArms

The Cross member:

LCA mount on the axle end:

My LCAs are adjustable and use Johnny Joints at both ends.

In this next shot you can see the single upper arm I am using. It is also adjustable and uses Heim joints at both ends.

So I needed a Transfer case skid.

And a finished shot.
