Brock-Lee 3,298 Report post Posted November 22, 2011 Such a cool project to turn up on here, Ive always had a soft spot for these. Only thing I don't dig is the 3.8 haha a mild 350 would make it like 136839341823x more awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

be4ver 1,106 Report post Posted December 22, 2011 Why 6 air bags?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brennan 563 Report post Posted December 22, 2011 6 bags because more is always better and i figured it would be quicker with 6 haha na the other two are for one of dads cars, or just to add to the collection of spares we seem to be building Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rxtoy 1,550 Report post Posted December 24, 2011 Love what you're doing man, chevy + bags = win!!! Did you know you're gonna get massive diff pinion angle swing with the unequal bar lengths though? It'll put a lot of extra pressure on your uni joints, and mean you need quite a long slipper joint in the rear section of the driveshaft. Have a read through this article, then feel free to throw me some questions if you want. I'm definitely not an expert but ive read a lot about it and helped out with a few builds, including my own. http://www.minitruckinweb.com/tech/susp ... ewall.html Cheers Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brennan 563 Report post Posted December 24, 2011 yea the rear suspension geometry isn't the greatest. the drive shaft is a two piece and has enough slip to work with the change in pinion angle tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
