I'll get to the rendering in a bit...One of them at least...

I forgot to mention that we tried to keep every OEM part on the truck. We re-used the factory electronically controlled shocks which change the valving depending on road conditions. There were (and still are) 3 computers that control just the chassis on this vehicle.

The only good suspension we could fit in the back is a 3-link with a panhard bar setup because we wanted to keep the gas tank in the stock location. To keep cutting to a minimum (I really tried even though it's VERY cut), we actually designed the panhard bar to run around the upper 3-link bar. We chose to go with a panhard bar over a watts link as it provided us a better roll center since it is a top heavy SUV.

Are you using some stainless steel?? I see the pretty blue/gold color cant really tell from the pics.

Also when making suspension parts like the ones your doing do u have to use
chromoly??

Awesom build btw.

We didn't use any chromoly, just DOM tubing. The plates are all cut from PNO Sheet, .125 and .1875.

The pannard bar looks really goofy outside of the vehicle. The upper link bar runs through the big hole in the bar.
