    Tbucket with a 6.0 Powerstroke?

    I had the same thoughts. The motor I was originally planning on using was an LQ4 which is about 480lbs vs the 6.0 power stroke is about 960lbs. ABout double the weight which I think I would need more suspension up front. I would also think id have to chop the frame and extended it a foot or 2...

    Tbucket with a 6.0 Powerstroke?

    So I have a possibility to get my hands on a complete (slightly wrecked) 2014 ford f250 with a 6.0 powerstroke for next to nothing. I dont think ive ever seen of anyone putting a powerstroke in a tbucket. I've seen deisels in them but not this big. More of less curious if anyone has ever done...

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    Yeah but 200lb springs was the lightest spring they had for the 11" shock from qa1

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    Well I thought I had looked at the details correctly. But maybe I didnt. They were 14" shocks as descibed by QA1. Extended length 17"-17.99". Compressed 11"-11.99". Mounted length 14". But im sending them back. Already bought some new ones and went with the 11" shocks with 200lb springs. Which...

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    Ahh heims. I might have to go that route. The parts I inherited from my grandpa included the tie rod and drag link but with ball joints. But im assuming with ball joints Id need to taper it if im not mistaken Im ordering new shocks now. Even though I dont have any real weight on the car yet...

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    I actually used the CCR plans to build the basics on my frame. They do use a different front end on there build sheets from what I currently have. But Id say 98% of my parts are coming from speedway. I just have a few more odds and ends to wrap up and ill be competely done with the suspension.

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    Hmmm im going to look at the 11" and 12" and see which one I think will work better. Im almost double your weight lol. Bout 325 currently (but dropping!) I like your setup. Is there any pros/cons with coilovers being vertical vs having some type of degree to it? Or is it just more or less...

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    Well my main concern is that its sitting to high. Where the axle and frame is, is about where it will ride at with the wheels and tires on the rear. Which I don't like because the frame is very high off the ground. I'm thinking of sending back these 14" shocks and getting 12" or 11" shocks...

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    So I just finished installing my rear coilovers and Ive gota say Im not impressed. I think its way to high. Thoughts? I purchased the QA1 14" shocks. But there 17" fully extended. Also I feel like I got springs that were to stiff. are 175's to much? Their set at about a 20* angle. From the...

    How is this tbucket built?

    Thats niiice. I love the look of those low sitting hot rods. Im gona have a top built for mine or just make a whole new body for it. Just want something different.

    How is this tbucket built?

    I love the low look of the car. Im wondering though how the driveshaft runs to the rear. If it cuts into the body of the car or not. Thats why I did my front axle the way i have on my build, to have it sit lower. I just want to build something unique, not just another tbucket

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    So after talking to speedway today I think Im just going to try and grind a little off the spindle and a little off the caliper bracket. The other kit I was looking at requires different rotors and a completely different set. Ive already installed the rotors and bearing on the car so cant...

    How is this tbucket built?

    Im almost 100% sure this car is a tbucket. And I cant help to build something like it. But im a little thrown off by the frame because it looks like it sits much lower where the body is at. Think this build is possible with the current build I have going on?

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    Well Im not sure if I can get the shocks mounted in front of my axle though. My axle is on a perch in front of the frame

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    sooo this one might work

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    Mm going in the right direction in figuring something out there but that still wouldn't work. It wouldnt clear the batwing and Id still need it to stick out about an inch or so to keep the shock bushings from not being crooked. That bracket almost looks like its about 45*. If there was one that...

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    Im sure I could but would that put the caliper in the front instead of the rear?

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    I try to get the best photos I can. I see lots of people in all these forums try to post pics and you cant even tell what it is lol

    Questions reguarding steering brackets and shocks

    Ive attached some images of the clearance issue with the caliper bracket. Also I have attached 2 images that shows that the shackle shock mounts wont work on my front end either. Thoughts?
