|
|
|
drivers side coil bucket installed
|
|
|
here's bill playing with his nuts
|
|
|
stock radius arm bracket for 79 ford, laid back approx 20 degrees.
|
|
|
I also added some more metal on the side of the frame rail to help spread the load since the newer fords have can't use a x-member with these brackets
|
|
|
temporarily secured. Note how it is notched out for the body mount so I can push the axle forward to clear the rear of the front fender
|
|
|
It should allow for a much better angle on the radius arm. Without the lay back, it would have put the bushings at a bind at normal ride height
|
|
|
still need steering and track bar
|
|
|
drivers side bracket installed with 5, 1/2" bolts
|
|
|
radius arm angle at ride height with the laid back bracket. It is pretty a good angle
|

|
|

|
|
|
much mo beefy than the stock crap
|
|
|
old and new trackbars. the new stuff is much more heavy duty. got it from rockequipment.com
|
|
|
arb line tied to breather line. They are held out of the way with a soft spring to allow for wheel travel
|
|
|
arb regulator tied into the york system
|
|
|
just another shot of the regulator with the diff and tranny breathers tied in behind it.
|
|
|
bent all new brake lines since I removed the 4wabs computer. Stock ford is metric, so you need to re-use these fittings. the skyjacker drop line on the 44 is standard.
|
|
|
all the lines to the pumpkin
|
|
|
front of lower track bar mount
|
|
|
rear of lower track bar mount. the holes add at least 15 horse power

the cross memeber suport bar
|
|
|

A big thanks to Jack for fab'ing up the mount. there is no bumpsteer.
|
|

Gusseted the radius arm bracket after it started cracking on the ramsey trail. this should fix any potential week spots
