Yeah i forgot about there's. that would be perfect for you!

 

That's what I was thinking. And that's why I needed to figure out what bracketry I needed. I'm not an expert on suspension geometry, just know I need to keep trac bar and drag link parallel. Wasn't sure what role the inside vs outside frame mount played.

I just got a non disco hpd30 last night for $50, so I'm going to start building it.


Thanks for all the help, I apologize for clouding your thread!

 

No problem! We're all here to learn fabrication!

 

So the track bar frame end bracket ended up being a waste of time. It is way to close to the coil and will rub like mad. For now I'm going to run the stock trackbar mount. I drilled it out to 5/8" and also drilled out the knuckles. At school today I got to run TIG for the first time. Ended up running it as my root for the threaded inserts. Then I did a 7018 fill pass and plug welded the holes. Need to drill pitman tomorrow and pick up a couple more bolts, then I'm rolling

 

should just tig the whole thing!!

theres is some pics of my frame side bracket here if ya need some help.bout half way down the page.

I know I really wanted to but I also didn't want to wait till Monday to finish welding. Wanted to drive by the weekend

 

Test drive #1: success

 

So your actual mount was going to rub the coil?

Yours looked farther from the coil than mine and mine doesn't rub.

 

I mean the frame end cuz I added a 1/2" thick backbone. Forgot the coil was close to begin, with the backer it had about 1/4"

 

All done! That's just primer, I'm gonna paint another shade of gray soon

 

Forgot pic lol

 

I used the double shear mount that originally came with my lift.

You plan to remake that mount and use the modified trac-bar and axle side mount, right?

 

Eventually yes because the heim is on a horizontal angle not vertical so it's flex is limited

 

yeah, I used a mount like this. I had to turn my misalignment spacers down in a lathe to make them fit but it worked well.



I'm sure you can pick that mount up cheap.

 

I found Jesse's old TB mount in my scrap pile! Hit me up if you want to come grab it or I could take it to The Rock on thurs.
