The ultimate (hopefully) 3-link AirRide suspension build.

[pitstain]

No I am not dead, or in rehab.


I know I have been off the radar for a while now, between work and this build I have been in another world, but I have made some progress and figured I'd share.


Bed off and all the hangers cut off, shocks and leafs removed....what a PITA

Ahh fabrication fuel....

leftovers anyone?

Temporary home for the bed.

Starting to clean up some of the rear frame.

The start of the plates for the 2 lower arm frame mounts.

Lower arm axle mounts coming together

Frame mounts mocked up, these will get fully boxed and bolted down with 5 5/8" grade 8 bolts.

Made a plate which bolts to the front hitch holes to hold the 5 gallon airtank and the pair of compressors. And if I ever need to I can still mount up the trailer hitch.

That's it until 4th of july weekend, if I don't spend next weekend with the girlfriend I will have to look for another when I finish the build, and that would realy suck, as she is the most understanding and sweetest person in the whole world.

Yep 5 gallon ART aluminum tank, which I painted with silver rustoleum appliance epoxy, sprayed from a distance and got that nice textured effect.

I was on the phone with Ian when all of the sudden some dude just steps out in front of him and Ian starts cursing out of nowhere (I actually learned some new words). Between that and our woes with FedEx, I am sure he has doubled the Sam's count pictured above.

I will check with my shipping guys tomorrow morning Ian.
