Okay
My whole full 1 ton setup/4link thing seems a bit unfeasable. I think the new plan will call for much less tube and money, and will still keep me plenty busy with fab.
Rear axle will probably be a 14 semi floater. This should hold up...I can get a detroit locker and 4.10 or 4.55 is fine correct? Will this hold up to say 400 horsepower and 35's without too much hassle? It will be getting a disc conversion. I dont really see the huge need for the huge amount of extra weight...its still gonna be a half ton truck.
Front axle..eventually a 12 bolt? I have never seen problems with these...Ifs will have to do for now.
I am now planning on simply doing a psuedo 3-link... big traction bars and leafs for now. Coils may come later. I am still wanting to do a rear subframe but if I am not doing coils I am going to leave it as basically a rollcage that I can build off of more later on if I want to.
The truck will be seeing a decent amount of offroad...but still be a daily driver. I really dont have the time of money for a million dollar moneypit...I need something that will be drivable as I build it up and hence the plan for a less involved buildup.
