Mike, Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Don't know if those are your design or Buggybarn's or who ever. Those look like the same design as I'm going to build for my new trailing arms. :wink:

Thank you mike !!! That means alot to me coming from you!!! Its what I came up with on the bench, so far everything is working great. I love the idea of the microstub bearings, I can buy a dodge intrepid bearing re drill the bolt pattern and I have a $60 bearing in the trailor if I need it but I think they are tough as hell. And yes man you got to come down with that new ss and ride with us!

As you said mike, Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, the air bag idea that I took from you about five years ago has worked flawlessly on both of my buggys. Thanks Mike I appreciate it!!!

Have you had any issues with your tree bars that high mike? I accidentally made mine higher like that, and can't decide if I want to lower them a little bit or not...

Well here is the latest greatest frontend. When I built it I forgot about the with of the shocks between the frame and the upper trailing arm.i had been running small vw shocks mounted to the top trl arm. I built these around the shock I wanted,now lets see if it withstands labor day wknd!!:oops:

What kind of shocks are you running on your front end Mike? Do you like them or suggest something else?

They are the rear shocks on a 2010 f350 2 wheel drive. They work good for me. My arms are 2 1/2 inches over length. I would guess them close to rancho 9000 shock, and thats a guess
