- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2020
- Today we design and build a triangulated 4 link suspension! Join me as we work through the challenges associated with taking on a job like this yourself. Suspension building is not as intimidating once you learn the basics. In today's video I want to walk you through the basics and explain the reasons why I have chosen this suspension design for my Land Rover Discovery 2.
This video is step 4 of my One Ton Axle Swap Series, if you want to learn more about doing a one ton axle swap or suspension design make sure to click on the playlist.

here in 2023 still going back and watching these videos
End of March 2024 and here I am lol
Real overlander vibes with the smooth jazz
Your fabrication knowledge and skills are impressive and inspiring!
Thank you!
Great content I really enjoy your no hype straight forward planning and execution thanks from over here in Australia
Nate, your show is the best! The combination of music, cinematography, and technical prowess is unmatched by anyone else in the 4x4 space, imo.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely loving the information!! It's helping me put together the pipe dream of 4 linking my k5. Thank you!!
I will always appreciate the amount of detail and explanation are put into these videos
Super excited to see more!
Nate, love this series. Your willingness to tackle these kind of projects at home show all of us with the mechanical aptitude how not to go broke building these rigs. Thanks, keep it up. And Happy birthday to your baby girl.
Happy birthday to your girl, have fun at the beach
Her parents appreciate the sentiment! 👍
As always, Love the videos! Also a huge thanks for the pointers with the MIG wire!
Great video as always. Thanks for your efforts in creating easy to understand and follow content from some pretty technical material.
Great video! I’m glad you’re getting this done so quick because that’s what the people like to see. Initiative. Can’t wait to see the rover doing some wheeling soon
Thanks! Dude, I'm itching to test this build out on the trails lol
Really like your videos. I started my first one ton / 3 link build in my Yota. Seeing your process and explaining the geometry has giving me the confidence to forge forward. Keep the content coming.
Thanks dude! Good luck with the yota! I will build one eventually 👍
Dang you weren't kidding, those frame rails are really narrow 🤣
Awesome video! Great inspiration to my new build, going for 4- link and unimog axels on my D2😊
Just reviewed this tutorial as I am building my 4-link in a 59' Willys station wagon on a stretched 06' TJ chassis. Very heads up move taking the sleeves out of the Enduro joints when welding up the brackets on the bench to keep from heating them up to much. Thanks for your content you provide to all of us. Cheers!
Love the new intro along with all the knowledge and skill of cinematography!
MG makes some great welding rod. They have one called Super 600. You could even weld a leaf spring together with it. I would check them out for welding dissimilar metals.
Thanks for the great videos.
Learning alot. I was leaning toward sas on leafs but you really highlight the performance of coils.
It's night and day man. There isn't much you can do to tune a leaf spring but with a 4 link you can dial in suspension to do whatever you want. High speed performance and rock crawler performance is all based on the position of the links 👍
SWEET! I got a mention! Thanks, Nate!
Awesome Nate. Keep the welding tips coming. I would really like to see you try some weld thru primer.
Great video as always brother and thank you again for all you do for the 4x4 community.
Thank you for the positive comment 🤘 you rock
Great stuff man! Wish I could do this!
Great series Nate! I've learned a lot about fabrication and suspension - need to buy me a welder now!
Great music selection brother! This has been a very educational series. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks!
Awesome video Nate!! I’m just running a near stock Hilux, nothing near your league, but I really appreciate getting in-depth sessions like this. Allows me to wrench vicariously..😉
Thanks for another great video.
Nice video. You answered a lot of curiosities of the similarities of rock crawling suspensions vs dirt racing suspensions that im used to. But of coarse in race cars we want are left rear tire to travel forward up to 3 inches.
Another amazing lesson from the JEDI master himself.
Thanks!
Nate, your bad ass man.! Love your videos ! Your like a mad scientist with this metal stuff! Keep it coming!
Awesome vid as always! Hope all is well with you and your family 👍
Thanks! We had a great time 👍
Great stuff man keep up the hard work, more appreciate it then you will recognize!
Very valuable information. I dig the music variety! Thanks for this.
Well It Is a DISCO he is building LOL
Thanks!
Yet another cracking video Nate, this and the previous have given me the confidence to attempt a heavier duty 4 link on my discovery 1. loved ya choice of tunes. Happy birthday from the UK to ya daughter, enjoy the beach.
Can't wait to see this dico in action 🤙
You’re a beast brotha
Very informative and enjoyable. I watch because of your professional quality and approach to the work you, which shows in the final product.
Thank you!
Awesome video👍
such great content your awesome!
your videos have inspired me to become a certified welder. i would eventually love to build trucks or possibly even bumpers and suspension components one day for land cruisers. keep up the good work 👍🏼
Awesome! I'm very happy to have inspired you to get into this fabricator world! Good luck in the new career 👍
Great video Nate!
Ayyyy happy birthday Little Pickle! Hope the family enjoys the beach!
I feel I'm repeating myself, but love this video series!
Very very smooth and nice videos man. New subscriber 👍👍👍
Cool vid!!
Glad to see you building such a unique vehicle. Seems everyone and their brother on youtube is building a jeep, glad to see someone building something different.
Love the build Nate!!
Good man! Thanks for watching!
Good video man…I’m in the planning phase of my build and videos like this help immensely! Liked, subd and turned in the bell looking forward to seeing the rest of the project
Great vid!!! Hope the ocean trip went well
Just got back! It was perfect 🤘
Should look at a terrafirma disslocation kit to for the articulation when you put your shocks and springs back in
For your fwd axle . You should look into . BALLJOINT ELIMINATORS
Nice job and very good parts 👍
Great video
Awesome content great job
looks good
You do a really good job on these videos.
Awesome series here man!
Thanks!
Another great video Nate.
Thanks!
I always love the music you use in your vids
I’ve had great luck welding cast to mild using dual shield wire with c25 and 400f pre heat. With mig like tig appearance...
Loving this content man. Been a subscriber since day one. You break things down and make it easy to understand. Im going to be 4 linking the rear of my xj. This video definitely helped me get a better understanding on how I'm going to go about it. Is there any future plans for a video explaining coilovers? Spring rates? Travel? Etc. Not sure what to do coilover wise as I plan my 4 link.
Best channel on RUclips 🔥🔥🤯
Thanks bro 👊
This man is fabricator goals.
Good video.
Very nice job young man 👍
Thank you!
Your video editing is getting so clean👍🏻
Much appreciated buddy!
This is my dream discovery build
Great video. I am excited to see what Bilstein shocks you have in those boxes.
7100 👍
Great Content!!
Nate, please make a video explaining the 3/4 Link calculator file!
Could you do a video discussing angles of triangulation on four link and why its important?
Nate you need to look up the Defender (1) / Discovery 1 rear suspension setup! (wishbone)
Super keen for the anti squat anti dive calcs
Can you talk about your Enduro links left and right hand thread, also high and misalignment spacers and safety washers. Just general set up of the link bars.
Great video as always man! And just like In Jeeping We Trust, we all love you. :P Hope your little girl had a great first birthday!
Yes good morning nate! Lets see what we have here..
Wonder if you could have tig welded with silicon bronze for the center section. Used for cast iron repairs
Good stuff nate. If i was you i would order a jeep die-cast with real suspension to help explain flex, movement and stuff that would be cool.
Really enjoying this series! You continue to blow me away with your knowledge and skill. Been following since you debuted with bleepinjeep. I'll be buying some merch on payday, I like that new neck gaiter design.
Thank you very much! Sounds like you have been around since the beginning. I'm honored man truly 👍
@@DirtLifestyle you're welcome man. And yes, been here since the beginning haha. Its been awesome to watch your following and channel grow the way it has.
Thank you again for another great and informative video. Is there a chance you could make a video on how to determine spring rates on coilovers? All the videos I've seen basically say to take it to a shop.
I wanna take a moment to thank you for your channel. You have given me a insight to install my axles in my YJ. I have a 93 YJ, I'm getting ready to install a AMM 9.5 and a AMM 10.5 410 gears. I'm dumping the leafs and doing the triangular 4 link rear and 3 link front. I'm going off your past builds. This is going to be my first major mod unfortunately I'm just going with coils and shocks. Any insight on more ideas would be appreciated. Again thank you so much for such a great channel. Be safe and wheel on brother.
Happy birthday 🎉🎂💐🎁 have awesome day with the family
Nate you probably know this already because you have a bud that is into LR’s, many of us put the front sway bar end links on the rear. They are a bit longer and you still keep the benefits of the actual sway bar. Love this series on the D2. Thank you for sharing it. Green Oval Guild
Great tip! Thanks!
Just some personal experience, I have welded 5 8.8 axle tubes and my super duty tubes with preheat and regular e70 series wire .035. I always needle scale my tacks and welds as soon as I finish them and I needle scale everything after I get done. I haven’t had any crack
I have done this too. The big issue is not all cast material is created equal. A 1976 dana 60 center could weld fine but a 1994 dana 60 won't. Even if they are both cast iron the amount of trash elements completely changes the way the housing reacts to various welding processes. I've heard of very disparaging differences between housings from the same foundry made the same year just because of one having more of one element and less of another. I mig welded the artec truss on my buddies super duty 60 without a single crack but this super duty 60 I'm building has a crack in every location I used mig. Same machine, wire and preheat. Lol this material can be frustrating to say the least
Trick I've always gotten good results with was essentially welding it cold, takes forever. Run a Nickel or cast specific rod with the majority of the pool on the cast section in roughly 3/4 to inch segments depending on how hot your running it and peen the shit out of it. Move to another spot, much of the same. Once its all welded up on the cast side I run Mig on the Stick weld and Steel for the truss. Basically in the same way I ran the cast. Again takes a fuckpile of time to do and If you cant hold your hand against the weld for longer than 5 seconds after peening it its too hot. In my experience of course, Arizona keeps center sections pretty warm in the summer sun....
309 Stainless tig wire is commonly used for dissimular metals, 312 stainless is the super weld almost anything-to-anything rod. Nickle 55 or 99 are the two cast filler metals. Thanks
Can't wait for you to put Tons on that LR3 :D
Lol one ton independent suspension maybe 🤣
I've thought about a bolt on brace Victorville truss on a 14 bolt that would use the front bolts on the pinion and a spacer plate on the diff cover rather than welding to the center cast.
EPIC
Hey mate awesome videos as always , very I’m depth with detail’s yet explained simple enough for the majority to figure out . Question : what kind of shock and spring mounts are on the front of your other Jeep
Looks like @engineeringexplained with the whiteboard
You sir with all respect should read the answer given by Rock Crusher in your last rear axle video. The middle picture is called a double Henry. Thank you for the great videos.
Galicia spein jeep wj...😍😍😍
Thank you Nate! Another excellent video.
At what point do you decide what springs you can use in a custom built suspension? Or does it matter?
The term for your welding technique to minimize warp is stitch welding.
hey nate, amazing wealth of knowledge you have there. would you ever consider building a overlanding trailer ?
Maybe just me, but 3-link+panhard works very well avoiding all other structure issues as well. Wish I could post a pic in here...
Guys, I’m in over my head here 😂
If possible can you make more Jeep Liberty videos but great videos very educational
You have to use nickel rod to tig weld nodular to mild steel. It will prevent the cracking and you should always do a very hot root pass and then fill with a weave weld.
Dude, I love your channel, I’m also in the middle of a 1 ton swap with a Dana 60 and sterling 10.5... I do most of my fab with a 240v Tig. I bought some ni55 rod for this job to weld onto the housings but after watching you I’m starting to rethink this. Starting to lean towards not welding on the housings at all or maybe tig brazing with some silicon bronze; thoughts?
