Congrats on making full blown trailing arms in your garage, that's sick. Also loving the removable bed cage, if/when I build a prerunner I think it would be like this, much simpler than full cab integration. Having a semi usable bed is worth a lot too.
One thing you wanna watch out for when you import pictures into CAD is that pictures aren't isometric - perspective warps dimensions. It's no problem if all you need are some lines and angles and the dimensions aren't critical, or if you are taking scans of 2D profiles, but with camera photos when you bring it into CAD the stuff in the rear of the photo is scaled down compared to the front and your design stops lining up to the real world. I stopped using the picture method for this reason, it often ended up being more work than it was worth. One alternative is photogrammetry where you actually make a 3D scan from pictures, and the software corrects for the perspective issues. There's some free software for this, and some other cheap software for it. I have a how to on my channel if you wanna see how this is done, scanned my whole car to design a bumper for it and it turned out pretty well in my opinion.
Awesome work guys, it's amazing how many cool parts you guys are designing & building in a home garage. Thank you for sharing such an awesome build & I can't wait to see both trucks in action. By the way, anything new with the Bug project?
I've been considering doing a short course setup similar to yours on my dodge, I have other project on priority, but when I decide to attack my truck. I'll be modeling after yours for sure
The only bad thing I see with these types of link set-ups is you will be able to go faster than with leaf springs, and you don't have the protection of a full cage. Other than that I can see the appeal.
Nice work! I am still debating what would be more convenient for my prerunner’s rear suspension. I currently have what that truck used to have bypasses with U182s. Whats better C85s? Or a short course set up
This isn't any different from a triangulated 4-link. I was under the assumption that it was truck arm style trailing arms, AKA 2 arms only which is what keeps everything underneath the bed. So what the heck is the point of doing the whole back half thing if the geometry and amount of arms are more or less the same? Is there anything you can run that ACTUALLY contains everything underneath the bed? And what is this "5 link" you talked about on the leaf spring vs 4-link video?
Shock angle is based off the truck at full bump (compression). The shock needs to be less than 90* angled forwards to the top side of the trailing arm. There is no exact degree to find but as long as the shock is less than 90* it will stay progressive throughout the entire stroke and make it better for tuning
@@ChristianEwingVD ok, thank you. So is there still a piston in that is shimmed in the coilover but it doesn't have the bump zone piston or red piston that I think you guys have discussed in your previous videos?
@@mayo3159 correct, the shocks that’s being ran on this truck is just a standard coilover, it still has a piston and compression and rebound shim stacks on each side of it controlling the flow of oil through the shock 👍🏼 it just doesn’t have the internal bumpstop like the IBP’s do
@@austinroede5788 there is zero shaft showing at bump, but there is also no bumpstop pads on the axle yet ;) you’re also forgetting this is a race series coilover. The black space you see between the rod end and the dust cap while it’s fully collapsed is where the spring retainer sits. It does not take up any shaft space at all
I've been watching your videos and inspired. But you mentioned wanting to produce your own product. I'd love to run your stuff and be like a rolling advertisement. If y'all would like to help me build or fab my 76 ford f150 2wd supercab or my 72 ford f100 short bed. PM or friend me I'd greatly appreciate it. Or just helping hand to help my boy and I build the trucks. Thank you.

Love watching how detailed you guys are! I’m getting a welder and hoping to be able to fabricate like this (one day)
Can't wait to see that rear end in action! Great work as always!!
Great Video Guys,,,love the way you just walk us Through all the details of every build
This is a great design! These will sell!
Unreal! I see this being a kit ? I would purchase it if I wasn't already done my back half, but who knows I might have an accident too. lol
Damn “out of the garage” mad props to that! You are a very smart bro keep that same mind set and your winning
Some one sponsor this guy!
Nice! This is awesome. I would love to do the exact thing to my Raptor. 🔥

Freaking awesome the removable coilover cage is so simple yet ingenious. Fantastic concept 👍
Very cool setup. Simple but "complicated" lots of thought into it.
So sick! Can’t wait to see some footage of it in action!🤘🏽
Nice work bro
Nice work 👍 can't wait to see it in the Dez😁
You guys are killing it!
Great work guys! You even took time to protect the windows and paint
Love your channel dudes!!!
Awesome job 👍
Any chance we could get a link to the video that explains taking photos of the template and then mocking it up in fusion 360?
Definitely great thanks for this video 🤝
This setup is wicked!
Outstanding work ! Keep at it fella's
I'm contemplating building a rear suspension for my 2500 Ram so looking to learn more about rear suspension design and building.
Great job!
Awesome work dudes!
Pretty cool stuff. Hopefully you’ll build a web store with your parts in it.
I dig it
Very nice looks sick. How do you guys figure out your angels and mount points for optimal travel for the coil-overs and suspension arms
Awesome work guys, it's amazing how many cool parts you guys are designing & building in a home garage. Thank you for sharing such an awesome build & I can't wait to see both trucks in action.

Sweet setup can’t wait to see the finish work on it all done. Did you build it with possibly adding a bypass down the road?
Love watching your videos guys!
You guys should help me build my ranger prerunner lol
💯✌️
Asaaaah dude? Gone forever?
When is the kit with trailing arms and 4 link going to be available? Looking to do this to my 1500 and love this set up.
Please show us some more fusion 360/SOLIDWORKS stuff! Awesome work! Keep it up

👍
Very cool stuff ! Was the fabrication work done at you guys ,Wings World , shop?
Yes, everything on the rear of this truck has been built here
Just curious. What’s something like this run to do? I need some ideas for mine
How is this truck working out? You hot me looking more towards this style link vs leafs
Great work guys, been looking forward to your videos. Any chance you’d share how much the 4130 plate cost to build this?
Nice work! I am still debating what would be more convenient for my prerunner’s rear suspension. I currently have what that truck used to have bypasses with U182s. Whats better C85s? Or a short course set up
What ever happened to the tube chassie prerunner y'all help build did it ever get completed?
you should sell the cnc plans for your designs
Is there going to be a wiy kit for this short course set up?
How do I get ahold of you guys? I'm looking to do a short course setup on my truck.
When’s the next vid at!!??
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Where did you guys buy that carport?
No sway bar?
What size are the coilovers ??

Wouldn't a "short course" style be coilover on the axle?
Y'all taking orders for a setup like this? i gotta 94 ranger >.>
What happened to you guys as far as postings?
I love you
Awesome video and clean work. How do you determine shock angle?
Shock angle is based off the truck at full bump (compression). The shock needs to be less than 90* angled forwards to the top side of the trailing arm. There is no exact degree to find but as long as the shock is less than 90* it will stay progressive throughout the entire stroke and make it better for tuning
@@ChristianEwingVD thank you for the response. I appreciate you!!
What size coilover are you guys running and what are going to be the travel numbers?
It’s a 3.0x18” coilover and the rear of the truck cycles 22” of wheel travel with 13” of up travel from ride height
What table
we gotta talk dudes i have a 1990 f250 im trying to get to prerunner status i need parts im in upstate ny
Can I get the g code for the trailing arms? Please.
How does he run a fuel cell and still keep it street legal?
Unfortunately there is no consistency with posting videos. I thought you guys were back for good?
Is there a reason as for why you didn't go with an IBP in the rear?
After running the IBP on the front of our truck, I will never run an IBP on a truck application again. There is no reason
@@ChristianEwingVD ok, thank you. So is there still a piston in that is shimmed in the coilover but it doesn't have the bump zone piston or red piston that I think you guys have discussed in your previous videos?
@@mayo3159 correct, the shocks that’s being ran on this truck is just a standard coilover, it still has a piston and compression and rebound shim stacks on each side of it controlling the flow of oil through the shock 👍🏼 it just doesn’t have the internal bumpstop like the IBP’s do
Where do you get the blue protective body wrap?
U-line has it. It’s a protective film for windows on houses when they are doing construction
Is there room for the lower shock coil retainer at bump?
Yep, bump and droop there is zero clearance issue with the spring retainer through 23” of wheel travel
@@ChristianEwingVD I mean there is not much shaft showing at bump, and the retainer takes up some shaft space when it is on the shock.
@@austinroede5788 there is zero shaft showing at bump, but there is also no bumpstop pads on the axle yet ;) you’re also forgetting this is a race series coilover. The black space you see between the rod end and the dust cap while it’s fully collapsed is where the spring retainer sits. It does not take up any shaft space at all
Can I buy some trailing arms from you guys?
Hit me up on Instagram 👍🏼
