Stuff a huge spring in and lay low.  requires a coil over setup. a power ball or clevis. 6'' scedule 40 sps gas pipe cut to whatever length you want under there. Cut out a arm and box it in.  remove all the alignment shims . cut the a arm truss  leaving the alignment  bolt mount . cut out a 6 1/4 inch hole in frame and upper spring perch mount. tack in pipe to frame of the truck. bend a 3/4 '' piece of round stock around pipe and cut to size to fit ,around the pipe to the a arm truss and 45 degree the ends and weld to the truss. reinstall shims so now it dosent tough the pipe but it can travel for future alignments.  on the top of the tower you have to cut out a 6'' x 3/8 thick round  plate to weld over the top leaving a 3'' hole.  cut out  a 4'' x 3/8'' round plate and cut a 2''  hole in the center . drill and tap 3 holes through both plates 3/8 16 thread. Then you cut a piece of scedule 40 pipe with a 1 9/16 inside or equivelent to your cylinder size for a not tight fit. weld it in the center of the 4'' plate for the cylinder to slide into. then you run your plumbing directly up off the top of the cylinder out of the tower leaving enough for it to travel up. Then you have to chain off the lower control arm as your suspention stop.

ANY QUESTIONS? :blink:

DAMN, why didn't I think of that!?

What is the benifit of this? To lay low and get up when hopping?

You think this will be LRM legal for hops?
