WELL....for what seems like FOREVER now (since August '24), I've been collecting parts and trying to digest all that is Off-Road Suspension Geometry and the pro's and con's of all the different setups man has come up with over the years. All my front end time revolved around Mid and Long Travel IFS. Didn't really spend any time on solid axles, with exception of the few parts the two systems share..
For the 1st couple months I was kind of taking in everything re: the rear end. Mostly for the purpose of trying to decide what system might work best for my (overweight) Pre-Runner build. Sometime around Halloween I discovered the Reverse Triangulated 4-link system. I knew almost instantly that That was the route best suited for what I was trying to do back there. Why?? The gas tank! W/o moving the tank there is just no way to run a normal 4 link rear suspension under the back of a GMT900 platform vehicle. A little later on when I get into build specs, I'll show how discovered the Rev Tri 4-link!
So why start this now?? Bc I got my tires yesterday. ....and rarely in my life have I been this excited about tires......simply put, they're the best looking off-road tires I've ever seen, and they were my last big purchase needed to go full tilt at this thing.....and away we go
Kenda Klever M/T2 in 35 x 10.50 x 17LT
34.76" t x 11.06" x 17. Triple threat three layer sidewall. New Blockchain sidewall lugs. Havent found too many people saying anything but great things about them?!?!
I guess we'll see??
Looks like somebody's got their work cut our for them....
