    Bobbed m35 with air bag suspension

    THe only "Ghetto Engineering" and breaking things, was from when the truck was built. Think about it.........You cant expect a sway bar link built out of 1/2 heim jts to actully hold on a 12,000lb vehicle. My daily driver Ford Ranger that weighs 3500 lbs has 1/2" (excuse me I mean 13mm) bolts...

    Bobbed m35 with air bag suspension

    I am just going to say no comment on some of the comments that have been made. Fordmechanic, yes you are right sway bar is a good idea. I have a sway bar already, and it does a pretty good job of fixing body roll while driving. One problem is the the links on the sway bar are only made of 1/2"...

    Mudguppy, I am curious to know why I cannot connect the knuckles together with a straight tie rod? Also have you tried to connect up a 1t box and the 3" ram? I have and suprisingly it works just fine together. PSC told me the same thing you did. After it ended up working I called them up and...

    Bobbed m35 with air bag suspension

    I understand your point fully. However, going to your strength order, I do not believe that the frame is stout enough so that is where I need the extra bar. Eventually I may put them going the same direction (I want to lift the truck another 2" or so). The other problem is that the current bar...

    Bobbed m35 with air bag suspension

    Haha. I can assure you there was NO MATH involved. It was a homemade deal. With both bars the truck actually raises and drops like normal. Yes I have the PSC kit as well, and it tends to wander, I'm sure some of it is suspension, but I do believe that some of it is the steering itself. I have a...

    Trackbar, Panhard bar, same thing. Yes, you would think it would lock the axle as one pushes one way and one pushes the other way. I can assure you that it does not coause a problem the truck has enough weight that it is not a factor. I am not sure if it flexes a bit when it drops down or what...

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but all I have are pictures of the brackets for the steering box and track bar. I'm currently offshore so there is no way for me to get other pictures. Plus I was really waiting until I get all the new steering installed.

    For my bags there is 1 hadley height control valve for each bag. I have 2 switches in the cab, one switch raises the front of the truck and one switch raises the back of the truck. To begin to lift the front it takes about 100 psi. And for the back I'd say it takes 70 psi or so. I suppose you...

    Oh and to answer your other question, NO you do not need torsion bars. I can't think of why you would. One more thing, you may have to come up with something else for your steering. The air bag perches on the front axle will more than likely interfere with your steering arm coming off the...

    I have bags on the front of my truck. It was built by C and C. I'm in the middle of putting crossover steering on it. When I am done, I will post some pics. If you are going to bags in the front of your truck I would reccommend dual track bars. One going in each direction, it will really stiffen...
