Should add the funny frame on the back of the truck is actually a water blaster!

Re: Post your Trucks Weight...
holy cow you have done some work on that. have you got a build tread anywhere ? the coil overs at the rear what is idea of mounting them to the suspension links. is it for geometry ? or more travel for less spring.
Re: Post your Trucks Weight...
I haven't done a build thread yet as been too busy building it but should get something together now.
Putting the c/o on the rear TA is done for a few reasons.
It puts the springs outside the chassis rails so means for a given spring rate at the wheel the actual spring rate is lower. Means a lighter spring resists body roll more. The TA are about 100mm from the tyres and no way of doing that if the shocks were mounted to the axle.
Also for a given amount of travel the sock piston speed is lower so easier to valve.
Oh yeah it also means I have 29" of rear travel without the limiting straps but at Taupo it was limited to about 20". (Started at 24" but took a bit more out for safety)
