Tungsten Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 OK maybe you can go back but it sure won't be easy. I am really not comfortable with the idea of welding the entire bracket on either. There is almost no way to get it to align back exactly as the factory has done it. At least not that I know off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoare85 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Completely agree and understand with the above posts, I'm still keen as once you're confident that it'll work and be reliable the way I see it is that it is a hell of a lot better than the standard set up..

The_Magicians_Eye Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hurry and beat the hell out of these. I want to see some video of you wheelin through a rock bed over and over and over again for a few months lol. I've been thinking about this since the first time I replaced the bushings. Even more so during the 2nd time I replaced them. And oh boy would I like to have these because I'm due to replace them once again! Sure I've beat on them pretty hard but this is too much. Both are split yet again. I'm pretty sure that happened during the "incident" that took place the last time I went wheelin... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wax Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 awesome stuff I was looking at doing this myself but I was thinking about bolting on a unit like this instead of welding it http://www.arvis.co.uk/products.php?product=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nefarious Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I don't think Dave is active on this forum much these days, maybe try shooting him an email over at Experimental Engineering (vg30.com). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtx Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 They look great. I used a similar design back in the day with a 2wd class 7s truck.It held up to all the abuse i could give it. I replaced my bushings but I need to redue them cause the factory holes are bugged out. I plan to just open the hole up a bit and insert a pipe "slice" the size needed to fit the tension rods. and weld in place. If these become avalible i would be most interested. Thanks for your hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Magicians_Eye Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 He told me he's not coming back to this site. Not sure why but that's what he said a few months ago. Contact him through his website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver123 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 You could just do a SAS, but I might be a little biased lol. Nice work. This problem was a contributing factor in my decision to SAS my rig. The whole front end was, as far as rubber components go, just haggard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
