3-link, Airride Gen2 Lightning build.

[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.

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]

Thanks man, and a 4 link with panhard would be a walk in the park after this project, so DO IT !!

Ok here was the final flurry of work on the truck, and sorry guys, but my ego precludes me from posting final pictures of the truck completed until I detail the pig.

The LFP radiator loaded up with my two 16" troyer fans ready to go in, and yes it does run cooler now, particularly in traffic and while idling when it is needed most.



A few shots of the rear end showing the Watt's linkage, and it's accompanying axle tube brackets which I had to weld the swaybar mounts to since they had to share the same space on the tubes.

[pitstain]

Some front suspension shots showing the front shockwaves, WMS tubular arms, and power rack setup (pardon the surface rust, grinding dust that sits for 2 months causes some issues.






Master cylinder mounted on the hydrobooster.....umm well it's under that mess of wires, trust me.



The AirRide control panel mounted in my CF switch panel.

[pitstain]

The rear end is finally off my ghetto saw horse jack stand !!



Sitting at near ride height, and yes it is riding DIRTY !!





The first sunlight it has seen in MONTHS, errr maybe I shoulda kept it indoors........LOL



And the spoils of my toils, a homebuilt, mad-scientist, 3-linked, airbagged, lightning rear suspension.




Again, final shots once she gets some serious detailing, even I have some shame....
