Default d60 truss

Was curious if anyone made a truss with the control arm mount and spring buckets to swap a d60 into a Cherokee?

TNT will also make a truss for a d60 if you call and ask. Look into Artec Industries too. There is always making your own.. not very hard, if you think ooutside the box.

if you are capable of the swap i'll bet you can figure out the mounting points... also you probably don't need a front truss.... i have narrowed those front ends the tubes are 7/16" thick or better you won't bend it with a cherokee unless you really sky it.. or just get the 44 kit you saw and edit it to fit...

true... three link the front they work better... i'm doing a buggy build right now and i discovered that a la front doesn't work as well as 3 link.. i got the jeep thing build in the build page if you want any ideas.. i used a single ballistic joint in the middle of the rear as a uniball on a wish bone super stable and still flexes more than my clearances let me
