How does the Panhard mount attach to the rear axle?...assuming you can use a stock rear-end.

Any info you can give out on chassis stiffening that you have in the works? Looking at buying a porterbuilt one but will wait to see your plans. Thanks

Nice looking piece ! I see a lot of guys wanting to give it some love in the future for their trucks.

The completed rear suspension (with a few pieces of 1"x1" to prop it up for the pictures)

On this truck, we are currently doing a simple trans crossmember and keeping the stock center crossmember in place. We have made a bolt on bracket that will act as an exhaust port in the stock center crossmember. We have plans for a more elaborate cradle style center crossmember in the near future.

The panhard mount is integrated to the driver side frame mount. The other end is a bracket welded to the axle tube. We had planned on selling this as a kit completely welded with a 9" housing and axles. If you wanted to use a stock 10 or 12 bolt, we can probably accommodate that. I would have to check some dimensions. I think the mount should be fine. The extra strengthening gusset may get into the cast center portion of the 10/12 Bolt housing

Amazing as usual. With this bolt on kit, how similar will the ride height be in comparison with your full frame trucks like the Craftsman truck or the original orange and white truck? What size tire can you run up front?

Since we decided to keep the modification to a minimum on this suspension system, the ride height for the bolt on system will sit roughly 2" - 3" higher than the complete chassis. It will still be a aggressive stance, but not as low as the complete chassis stance.

On this truck we are going to be running 20x9.5" fronts and 20x10" rears. Front and rear inner fenders and wheel tubs are 100% stock. More on this in a few days!

The system looks awesome as all of RS stuff does. Can you run a 19x10 the the front and a 19x12 on the rear.

Looks really nice! Excellent truck for the product development as well.
