3-link, Airride Gen2 Lightning build.

[pitstain]

The watts link cross member and the two from lower arm mounts all painted up.









Lower and upper link mounts are on the rear axle!!





Little hackery on the frame for the teenie tiny notches I will be making.

[pitstain]

Front frame mounts bolted on, and with 5/8" grade 8 all the way...and they tie into my Kenny Brown X-factor.

[pitstain]

Tube for one of the link bars, cut to length and drilled for plug welds, threaded inserts moked up, and a finished and painted link bar.










The watts linkage, just need to build the clamp on axle tube mounts next week.

[pitstain]

Some of the prep done to the airlines to armour them up, all airlines covered in techflex braided sleeve and fully wrapped in 3M super 88 electrical tape.






Gave a little love to the axles with some paint.

[pitstain]

Air compressors all wired up with relays and fuses, all done up with techflex, electrical tape and split loom, also plumbed some of the airlines.








Some of the airline and wiring harness routing through the frame with rubber grommets.

[pitstain]

Got the Hydratech hydroboost unit installed on the firewall.





AND......DRUMROLL......the rear is back under the truck with all the links, rear shockwaves, rear rideheight sensors, AND new smaller stage 2 TCE rear brakes installed.....






Oh anyone need my parking brake leftovers.....?

cool write up. I have been thinking about doin a 4 link for mine, this gives fuel to the fire.

[pitstain]

Figured I would post up some updates, as I never really got around to putting up shots of the truck all done.

From Carlisle All Ford Nationals this past weekend.

That's sick. It looks great and it performs great too!
