Let's see those Bad Lines!

[cbrewer22]

Nut could have backed out but if it did it was very little. Taking it off with my impact it still struggled. Speedway says with the solid spacer they install in it that it’s only 160flbs

i impacted all my rear ends and have not had any troubles.
specs are tough to see after the grenade goes off!

Not the greatest line, or weight distribution... something about 1k lbs of pure bald eagle iron under the hood makes it do this.

This is probably 2012ish

Not a bad line, more of a result of poor planning and a lack of prep.

The pivot bolt on the rear arm backed out on the trail, just my dad and I in the car. No other vehicles no radio no cell service.

we had to walk the trail till we found the bolt.
I didn’t have a jack so we removed the front tire and coil over, dug a hole to drop the front end in which would raise the rear end, pull the rear coil over and ratchet strap the arm back into place…. And of course I don’t have the big ass Allen wrench to tighten that pivot bolt. I probably got it close with a rock and channel locks
Then reverse order to get home

I carried a lot more tools and took prep a bit more serious after this trip.

To be honest I rarely was able to drive this car back on the trailer

That sucks….. good thing you got it on camera.
Been thinking about getting on the dash cam program.
What set up do you have?

I have a Garmin dash cam in my Mustang because of this accident works decent haven’t had any accidents to need it. Camera was like $80 and had an app to get the videos.

Here is an old one from 2008. Hit a square ditch that folded the radius arm and all the cross over steering! We fixed the radius arms and put stock steering on and found out that the stock steering was way better and we left it like that for the rest of the truck's life!

What made the stock steering better?

What made the stock steering better?

With less rods, there is less drag on the pump so it steers faster and without swingers limiting, the amount of steering you can steer further. So with those 2 things I can drive the truck harder!
