so far ive seen a 510, a jet boat a first gen blazer, a mazda truck, a caddy, a body dropped s10, a duece and a half and a doggie wearing ear muffs. there has been almost no mention of the 521 this thread is supposedly about. maybe you should retitlew it the everything from your daily grind life. also why do all the trouble of fabbing a bag setup on kingpin shit?

i already researched ball joint front ends extensively and the king pin, as far as geometery is still the best option... i dont like wierd caster issues....and secondly if i was gonna go ball joint i would just start fresh...i like the king pin, its prov9en, works and is durable...i can get it very low( layed) with it depite what people say...i repeat there s no ball joint cocnversion offered right now that i felt comfortable with...in the end i was just trading issues between set ups....i can disc brake the truck and lay frame on 18's....theres plenty of work that gets done....its just this got back burnered with south paw showing up... im on it now again though...slowly...

 

ultimatley when i try to do things i try to improve on a good design... not the the king pin is a good design but its proven...and it works and i wont get wierd geometry issues...it came down to this ....any ball joint swap was gonna require as much work as starting over with a brand new front clip....im not racing , not hoping, not trying to tt the thing ...just frive a low truck that works and all my shit works first and for most to many people over think shit and try and reenginere the wheel ... keep it simple

time to make more travel in the front ...we talked about removing the front snubber mount and either remaking it along with raising the shock towers or maybe coil overs like mr bigs green 521....for now its kidney belts and a exhaust that seriously needs to be re routed

Isn`t there some kinda " truck " section on here that this thing would be more appropriately posted in??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey if you want to amuse yourself,, my sons working at the used building materials place downtown ,,you should go down and have him move a buncha heavy shit to the front for you then say " i`ll have to think about it "
