I would go with this option. 2wd, cycle it and fit shocks. With the shocks removed from the equation, the first thing that will limit your travel will be the 4WD, but if you go 2WD... Then normally the upper arm outer ball joint would limit you, but you have that kit with vertical uniballs, so...

This is awesome! I almost want to dust off my IG account to see the progress, but I won't... Any chance you could post some of the IG update posts here too?

Okay that carrier bearing spare drive tie down is an awesome idea. I am going to copy that!

Thats was fast!

Here is a bit more progress, mostly the beams getting closer to being done and starting to fit a truss on the old d60.

I do still run the FOAs on the rear of my raptor. At this point they work good. I rebuild them build every season, but they do not leak. Its more for me to inspect and tune them. Most recent rebuild I did these adjustments: 1. Fully deburred the bypass plungers 2. Changed the seal head to...

The hack I use is 3d print the plates, and if it pleases you. Send cut send them. So all the prototype is just printed...

Lights look good 👌

My build master friend knocked out half the beam mounts, they came out great 👍

Thank you all, very nice to know what's being used out in the fray.

What Material, OD and wall thickness are you running on your uppers? Truck weight and lengths would be nice to know too. I’m trying to avoid overbuilding them but don’t want to risk anything either. Appreciate any real-world data.

I dont, these are really old notes, so its all I have.

This is what I measured as stock valving for a 2 door rear shock, you can round the OD, that was just the read out form the micrometer. The .08 is really .008

Pulled the front clip: Ford 360 out: Moved the truck within reach of my 220v socket: Finial fit checks of the tacked beam kit it cycles quite nice actually really pleased👌 Then we uh, made it fit in the garage... just a shortening cut for handling not the finial frame cut. And a far...

I understand your logic. And don't disagree that for a vertical load having the inner ribs... vertically would be ideal. But, I do have confidence in them and the classic TeKK guys. Im more concerned about the tiny little wheel bearings this thing has and wee little brakes. But like pops always...
